With the ITWeb Cloud Summit 2017 just days away, ITWeb is ready to welcome Lonely Planet's cloud manager Darragh Kennedy from Melbourne Australia, a veteran speaker and early adopter of all things technology.

Moving your IT to a cloud-based ecosystem and focusing on digital transformation requires a holistic view of all aspects to ensure a solution is the right fit and data is secure.

Companies can now access and analyse data and move quickly to respond to opportunities to grow audiences, identify key influencers and move people to action with the help of cloud.

Cloud allows for a dynamic environment by being flexible, scalable and agile.

Gartner predicts that in 2015, 80% of successful hacks will succeed by using known exploits.

With the cloud, you can ensure your business keeps pace with today's digital disrupters and benefit from paying just for what you use when you need it, says Oracle's Itayi WP Mandonga.

Motivated by cost efficiencies, aggressive time-to-market timelines and flexible architecture that looks to the future, the adoption of cloud models in the IT environment is becoming the standard.

Accounting for compliance by design will help minimise unnecessary development costs and possible legal issues that may crop up as a result of non-compliance.

The company's Darragh Kennedy will? discuss how this has led to a dynamic product pipeline.
