so with all that said we've reached the end of our core presentations here and i do want to open things up for questions from the audience again you can hit us on either the q a functionality or the chat functionality but i also wanted to open things up to our broader uh pool of presenters and and guests here today uh with just a few questions to get things rolling so you know one of the things i always like to ask up front is and this goes out to anyone on our host panel here uh is
were there any key takeaways that jumped out at you uh from today's conversation anything that kind of rung true or or is kind of rattling around in your mind after the conversation well i'll just jump in chris i i was excited to hear uh matt fields comments um about uh about ams obviously i mean i think that's that's just a huge validation of the our efforts there and and uh i'm just thrilled that uh that he sees it that way uh they're a happy customer and um it's really been a a journey for them as
well as us this year so uh thrilled by that that was my favorite part for sure absolutely i would say what i heard pretty clearly was that uh you know going into any uh new adoption cloud journey with a partner and a plan is going to be instrumental because you know it's trying to to figure out how to do that surgery yourself on yourself is is a daunting task right so um you know having the the the expertise day in and day out and a partner is definitely the right way to go absolutely anything else
if not i can move on to some of this poll conversa conversation all right so jennifer in the background on the marketing team put together an awesome slide with the poll results but i don't want to break away because we've got a few more slides i need to share but i will just kind of dust in to get things rolling here i'm looking at the that third question that you opened up around the balancing act of of quality cost and security and sort of how people stacked ranked and the clear winner here is securities mission
zero right uh followed by quality as second most important and then cost trailing and then uh secondary to that is security first and then cost and then quality but but the margin between those two is absolutely huge and in fact someone uh in the chat said i accidentally put the wrong order in there is no way i would sacrifice cost over quality i thought that was that was particularly interesting so i know you have some thoughts around that i'd love to hear you yeah you know i uh so i i could have i could have
almost guarantee i would have bet the farm that those were the results we would get um i you know like i said i've i've hosted uh two of these roundtables now with a third one coming up here in a couple weeks uh and it pretty much across the board almost without exception that is that is the uh the mark of it the thing that folks need to really think about is you know every every platform and application that you have in your stack is purpose-built right it serves a particular need and so there are some
areas and some applications where security may not be the concern for you right and that's okay um and there are others where you know if the internal user is affected i mean obviously you want quality to be job one but if it's an internal product as opposed to an external product where we put our emphasis and our our resources may change and i've seen that in conversations that i've had but pretty much to a t uh security is the last thing that most folks are are willing to sacrifice yeah makes perfect sense that's perfect yeah
so um you know our partners at aws obviously are are at the end ending up uh their their reinvent uh um program obviously a huge event for them and i know many of us are pay very close attention some of us attended the event um i was curious if across all the announcements so far uh with aws you know being you know the big player in the space for cloud did anything jump out at anyone i i certainly had some thoughts i could share but i'm curious if anyone else you know looking across the announcements
that reinvent or just the the messaging at re invent had any takeaways they wanted to share with the larger group here i think for me you know as folks maybe process it a little bit more one thing that's you know becoming very clear is that as this market matures and as aws you know no one spins up new services faster right no one innovates faster and it seems that they're just launching just dozens of very discreet services for very specific specific industries and to solve very specific problems right and it's really up to organizations like
intervision to interpret all those services and bundle them in ways that are digestible solutions right because i think we've talked a lot about almost like the puzzle pieces that that aws puts together and it's it's not often easy to understand how those puzzle pieces can fit together they're certainly leading the way in terms of the services but um you know i think that for me at least i see it as an opportunity for you know organizations like intervision and the smart folks we have here to kind of make sense of all those discrete services to
build more comprehensive solutions that again get to the the outcomes that we've talked about so much today yeah i'd add to that chris that uh one of the uh observations was around some of the announcements for ransomware partners are where they announced relationships with veeam and commvault and zerto and and services and techno or partners in technology that innervision has already built professional services and solutions around to bring those to market so it's it's not only validation that we're in the right direction from what we're how we're interpreting uh the market and bringing it to
our our customers but also that aws is investing heavily in those same areas which is a win for everybody in the end as they become more mature as they become more commodity and flexible in the way that they can be implemented absolutely thank you so much for that ben that's a big event i'm still digesting right there's so much that's announced at the at the reinvented i just thought i'd bring it up as a question for this audience jonathan let me let me add i was very fortunate enough to be in a session with like
today my biggest takeaways are the customer testimonials um i was i was in an executive session at re invent uh yesterday and i was very fortunate to hear the program leader from pfizer talk about the impact that cloud and specifically amazon has had in their reality challenge of taking an eight-month process to develop new vaccines into four weeks and how i think the dustin's earlier point right the challenge is to move from run thinking to innovation and to rethink process and people in real time as a result of what the cloud brings so they were
talking about moving a global approach of scientists in real time to update data sets every 40 seconds and we're talking you can imagine the volumes of traffic of data from geo location to hot zone 2 and they were they were able to do this with amazon's help but equally important was the mention around the partner community and how it was a group thing that that areas of amazon were superb but only came together and i think i just heard it mentioned right with the right advice around the right security the right dr underlining it the
right services and the right support and managed service to be able to actually achieve that now i know pfizer is a very very large company right with with immeasurable resources both financially and people but um you know they they face the same technology technical debt and they turn to the cloud and they turn to partnerships like like we have to be able to rethink and use moving from run thinking to innovation and they talked about ai and ml and how to apply advanced thinking to modern tools in a traditional challenge and reinvent process as a
result it was it was compelling and i'll add another right it was balanced by formula one the the cio for formula one gets up after pfizer speaks and says my organization's 400 people but what i do is i globally engineer fan experience every minute and i'll do it with a modern younger audience that expects a consumer relationship like their iphone in the relic so it was a fascinating chance to see how not just big companies but really small companies who are are really poised to move to innovation and to competitive differentiation and to innovate more
effectively with modern thinking and process in addition to great tools and i think it's all about partnership it's mine it was my takeaway from uh from that executive session and i thought i'd add that on because it was to me it was very powerful and and like i started with the most value i get is to hear the application of the technology around business channel and to really see what the measurable benefits are whether it's in time or dollars or innovative or competitive leapfrog they're all very measurable taxes anyway thanks absolutely yeah no absolutely that's
it that's a great point you know and i think that uh not too much pressure on folks like dustin and ben and and matt on our team and and david but you know being able to elevate the conversation around what's the business outcome you're you're really trying to achieve here because you know again you know we've said it several times but the cloud is an unprecedented tool but it is still just a tool and the cloud alone is not going to get you there right you really got to know what the strategy is and i
think having really bright people like dustin and ben and and david and matt really you know allow us to kind of have those conversations and drive those outcomes so thanks for that uh that input jonathan i i really appreciate it so um i want to keep things moving you know we're right we're pretty much right around time here but i will throw one more question out here i'm looking um what was something from the audience so you know taking that first step to cloud how how do you identify that maybe there's challenges before they become
a larger problem like any thoughts you have around a team around you know what what what can you look for that maybe things aren't going the way they need to before it becomes like a major security issue or a problem down the line yeah i my experience is that you you you hope for the best but you plan for the worst right so in many areas it's sort of like we all take a security posture today that assumes we're compromised and you behave in a way that um that you you have a zero trust approach
and i think the same thing is true relative to cloud adoption right you you you assume that each step could go potentially wrong which is why you want to automate as much as you possibly can to remove that human element of uh not not to remove the people component of it but the the the possibility for mistakes to be made and so and and i think that you know you iterate and you and the other thing i would say is you know i've seen a lot of success from a software engineering approach and this is
why people go to more agile methodologies break the work down into its smallest digestible chunks and really plan your approach that way and we take that approach in our methodology as we build out cla whether it's for migration or optimization you know it's take an item address it measure it and then move on to the next one but we always go back and part of that integration is is verifying that you didn't break anything else along the way so you know a really methodical approach that is also predicated on what are what are we going
to measure to determine our success criteria along the way and don't have too many measures of success pick two or three because if you're measuring everything and you then something changes you're not sure what it was right so keep it simple break it down into the smallest digestible chunks and and just assume that everything is at risk very point dustin yeah all right well if there isn't anything else i think that was a good conversation and thank you again to everyone for attending here and um and uh and uh joining us you know we've had
a couple hundred folks on for this entire call and it's it's been a great conversation and definitely appreciate you uh joining us i have just a couple of uh slides with dustin just some things to talk through but at the end of the day guys you know i hope that this conversation has helped illuminate uh this concept of driving driving outcomes right and that's really what innervision is here to do and if you go and look at our website there are several examples of us helping organizations accelerate and their cloud migration and adoption right not
only the migration but the actual adoption of the cloud platform helping them secure and modernize their operations control and predict cost cost is a big concern in cloud right as as several folks touched on things can get awry pretty quickly with how quickly you can scale cloud and so you know it's really about driving those transformational outcomes for for our clients and and i hope that the conversations today has helped make that a little bit more real for you those of you who are already clients and maybe you only know a sliver of what we
do or those of you who are maybe new to univision and haven't haven't worked with us you know that really was trying to illustrate that at the end of the day we're here to help drive those transformational outcomes and finally you know you've heard you've heard over over again but it's really about coupling that deep experience we have across cloud platforms and the data center and combining that together to help bridge that gap right where you are today with where you need to be and combining all of our expertise our experience our certifications across both
aws and azure and even private cloud right there are some instances where that's still a very valid choice especially when security and compliance is a big factor and really integrating all that into a a single a single strategic service provider platform and delivering it through our cloud lifecycle assurance program that really i think separates us in the market dustin anything else you want to add on that before i move on to the the raffle yeah i think the other piece is really remember that you know the cloud is not just somebody else's data center right
we're really making a shift to the consumption model so that we can take advantage not only of some of the efficiencies that we can gain uh by you know from whether it be from cost or quality or or security but also that the other offerings that the cloud providers bring to bear right you now have a more robust approach to data analysis and you now have access to ai and ml without having to have necessarily data scientists on board and if you don't know how to get started in that entire approach that's what we're here
for right we not only our job is not just to do what you tell us to do but our job is also to tell you kind of the the art of the possible and um and you know that's a term that um that aws uses a lot we go through a lot of sessions with them on this and the art of the possible is what we bring to bear so that you not only know you can get to the cloud with fidelity but also what the other advantages are that you can take and learn and
grow and expand your your use case so uh just keep all that in mind that's our job we're here to help you know for the last 30 years i've been trying to perfect this this is why we call it a practice uh you know and we we learn every single day but um i think that the the combined knowledge and strength that our engineers have that the people on this call have and that we we have by working with you our customers it makes us all better um and so thank you for that yeah absolutely
