By Tanvir Khan, Executive Vice President of Cloud, Infrastructure, Digital Workplace Services
and Platforms, NTT DATA

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the mantra "Cloud First" is becoming a relic of the past. Today,
organizations are recognizing that mere digital transformation does not automatically translate into
business value. The real challenge—and opportunity—lies in crafting a Comprehensive Modern
Infrastructure and platform ecosystem that creates a journey to simplification and a seamless
infrastructure ecosystem which enables a future proof and scalable approach to modern technologies
while providing alignment and growth of the strategic business goals and desired outcomes. The key
elements of this approach are: Hybrid Cloud and Infrastructure, multi-purpose adoption of AI, agile and
proactive enterprise Security and the governance to manage open source solutions.
