Today we are excited to launch our end-to-end hybrid and public cloud offering, Vodafone Cloud Services, aimed at bringing a leading cloud experience to help launch New Zealand businesses into the future. Vodafone Cloud Services help tackle New Zealand’s underinvestment in ICT infrastructure and outdated legacy systems.

Lindsay Zwart, Chief Enterprise Officer, is focused on delivering better digital outcomes for New Zealand. “Our businesses are lagging the rest of the world when it comes to cloud adoption and missing out on the innovation opportunities that come from cloud services. These missed opportunities include wasting money on infrastructure that could be reinvested in businesses, through to lack of accessibility, to ground-breaking services and apps. Vodafone Cloud Services will help bring our customers into the future, to work more efficiently and increase productivity.”

Vodafone Cloud Services is broken down into four key steps.

• Advise on Cloud: We look at a business’s current tech stack, cataloguing cloud opportunities.
• Build for Cloud: Craft a cloud strategy in consultation with the business.
• Modernise on Cloud: Migrate the business to the cloud and optimise applications through an iterative process
• Care for Cloud: Maintain the cloud applications and continue to build as businesses evolve.

A move to the cloud is backed by international research which shows cloud services create IT simplification, agility, scalability & flexibility, and cost reduction. It is also predicted that 75% of ANZ enterprises will use AI-assisted, cloud-linked governance services to manage, optimise, and secure dispersed resources and data by 2023 so businesses should be making investments now so as not to be left behind.
