The past two years saw business owners rushing to find affordable and efficient cloud solutions as the pandemic forced a remote work culture.

Many companies, however, struggled to find an appropriate exit strategy from their current data centers, according to Giorgio Vanzini (pictured), vice president and global head of partners and alliances of DXC Technology Co. DXC and Amazon Web Services Inc. partnered up to help business owners handle a personalized cloud transformation journey, from exiting current solutions to adopting cloud solutions.

“What we’ve seen, as part of our Cloud Right strategy … is understanding what does the customer need from a strategy perspective, from a business value perspective and the technology perspective,” Vanzini  said. “AWS has been a great partner with us to accommodate all of these kinds of things, and the announcements [at re:Invent] just substantiate … that fact as well.”

Vanzini spoke with Lisa Martin and David Nicholson, co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during AWS re:Invent. They discussed DXC’s business strategy, how it helps its customers with their cloud journey, mainframe modernization, and more. (* Disclosure below.)

Personalized journey

Every cloud journey is different than the last, with factors such as scale, cost and industry coming into play. Realizing every customer’s situation and making solutions to fit them is an important step in cloud transformation, according to Vanzini, which DXC has done so with its Cloud Right strategy.

“Customers are specific; industries are specific. Data requirements are different; analytics are different; government requirements are different,” he said. “So you need to those in mind when you transition customers over into the cloud space.”

Recently, DXC helped a leading insurance company migrate to the cloud. The company used DXC’s Cloud Right approach to personalize its migration as much as possible. As a result of its move to the cloud, the company reduced its overall operating expenses, capex expenses, and overall budget by about 30%, according to Vanzini.

This was made possible because the Cloud Right approach helps organizations understand “what exactly to move in, which timeframe and what to leave behind, because in many instances, customers don’t have an exit strategy,” Vanzini stated.
