Shaping the future of software driven business

•

Cloud computing will continue to be a critical component in the growth of

technologies such as digital business, IoT, and artificial intelligence. Today’s Cloud

2.0 is the delivery vehicle for next-generation business services.

Regulatory and sovereignty pressures on client data will drive enterprise cloud

deployments to converge to hybrid combinations of public and private platforms.

Edge computing models will flourish where high data volumes and low response

latencies demand them.

Cloud executionmodels will shift fromvirtual machines to containers and serverless

architectures. For existing enterprise applications, this shift will happen as a

series of incremental changes: re-hosting, followed by re-platforming, and ending

with re-factoring.

Microservices architecture is becoming the norm due to its promise of agile

composition and delivery of services. Multiple such environments with

communication and API between them increases the complexity as well as the

attack surface for hackers, which enterprises will need to guard against.

The worldwide total addressable market for general-purpose public cloud services

is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16-20% through 2022. In addition to current

opportunities in North America and Europe, we see worthwhile near-termopportunities

in parts of Asia and longer-term ones in sub-Saharan Africa. Building on our core

strength in migration and engineering services, we are expanding into the adjacencies

of consultative services and managed services to become a preferred one-stop shop

for the complete lifecycle of an enterprise’s cloud adoption journey. Our offerings are

differentiated by their emphasis on incorporating enterprise integration as a first-

order design consideration.
