Skills a commodity in
the new cloud economy
How cloud transformation is hindered by a skills gap
Cloud is becoming an increasingly important driver for economies .
A report from Deloitte has found organizations are both thriving and being challenged by the burgeoning prominence of cloud . Key drivers behind adoption of cloud services are delivering better customer service and keeping pace with innovative competitors . But a common challenge , which often hampers progress , is the lack of cloud education – the shortage of institutional cloud knowledge and lack of technical cloud skills within organizations . It ’ s a challenge for IT , but also for non-technical staff as they grapple business prerogatives in the new cloud paradigm .
Taking up the challenge
AWS has taken up this challenge , with organisations including NAB and Sportsbet rolling out the AWS Skills Guild partnership program . This large-scale cloud training program helps organizations build cloud skills in-house whilst delivering broad based understanding of cloud thinking . This enables staff to effectively adopt , participate in and lead digital transformation initiatives .
Creating the future together
NAB , for example , has created its own Cloud Guild , and incorporated the AWS program , with thousands of staff undergoing foundational training and hundreds more advancing to become AWS Certified – thereby growing a priceless skills base on which to build a more modern organization . NAB is now enjoying the economic benefits of cloud , with adoption continuously accelerating .
