But the multicloud approach also introduces enormous complexity. Organizations need to select and implement the right cloud infrastructure, security protocols, and data management systems. A lack of consistency in infrastructure and operations across a multicloud deployment translates to fragmented, disconnected processes and tools. The result is incompatible silos of infrastructure and higher operational expenses, as IT teams must commit more hours and resources to manage this complicated mix of Cloud solutions.

The success of such a multicloud implementation requires careful planning and execution of the elements related to not just the technology, but the associated people and processes too. The people aspect involves identifying the right team members and ensuring that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of a multicloud environment. The process aspect involves defining and standardizing workflows, policies, and procedures to ensure that all stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities.

The panel discussed how to address the complexity of multicloud architecture, providing consistent, simplified operations for public Clouds, private Clouds and edge locations. Plus, we discussed how to best manage your healthcare cloud including costs associated with it.
