It was the first in a series of complimentary executive briefings aimed at informing managers and business owners in the insurance sector about technology from a business perspective. The event was organised by SureSkills, an Irish-owned company that provides technology, knowledge and learning solutions to complex and challenging requirements, to help businesses achieve their potential.

By definition if we are surrounded by technology – pervading every aspect of our working and social lives. Then we should make every effort to maximise the value the organisation extracts from it. Effective service management is at the core of great organisations – delivering effective, efficient and economical use of “resources” in terms of People, Process and Technology.

Cloud has been a hot topic for many years now and everyone has heard about the benefits, but what are the benefits to you and your organisation? What are the challenges you face and what kind of service would help you run your business better? 

SureSkills, as the only accredited Education & Consulting Partner in Ireland for AWS, Microsoft, VMware and Google will take an independent look at how these global cloud giants can be tailored to help your business, because one size doesn’t fit all.

We know this because we surveyed our customers about what services would benefit from being migrated to a cloud platform, and what were the biggest business benefits of doing so. At 26.5% and 25.3% respectively, email and websites were the top candidates for cloud migration. Some 22% of our customers said moving IT infrastructure to the cloud would deliver business benefits. In our experience, as customers understand the general value of cloud, they then begin looking at how they manage and mine information. CRM is a classic example of this, and was next in our survey (16%).

Join others that are new to AWS at the AWSome day, a free one day training event delivered by AWS Technical Instructors. The day starts with a session highlighting how and why customers are using AWS to develop, deploy and operate secure applications and IT services. 

They will then cover AWS foundational services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3 and Amazon RDS before closing the day with an introduction to AWS deployment tools and techniques and the next steps that you can take to continue developing your knowledge. 

Note that they are now introducing a second track dedicated to a business audience. This track is suitable for business leaders who want to explore topics like cost optimisation, security and compliance and hear more about customers' best practices.
