Sharing my latest piece in Fast Company on why cloud migrations are back on the drawing board. As GenAI and agentic AI projects move from proof of concept to enterprise deployment, organizations are discovering they need another round of cloud migrations. AI is fundamentally changing the requirements. The latest AI capabilities are cloud-native by design, and agentic AI raises the bar even higher. When AI agents are making autonomous decisions, you can't afford even a 1% error rate. One global biopharmaceutical company migrated 96% of its data to the cloud and saw amazing results: faster clinical trials, reduced IT costs and 40% improvement in team productivity. More importantly, they laid the foundation for AI-powered drug development with accurate, well-governed data. The cloud isn't just about storage anymore; it's also about AI agility. Cloud-based tools for data quality, integration and governance can be accelerated with GenAI copilots and agents, empowering teams to build and deliver at the speed of business. All in all, as agentic AI accelerates, the business case for cloud migration is getting stronger. https://lnkd.in/g9CPmMbf #AI #CloudMigration #DataManagement #AgenticAI
