MODERNIZING YOUR DATA INFRASTRUCTURE 8 Sponsor viewpoint Leveraging data as a strategic asset can help your organization meet customer expectations and remain competitive. But the insights and truths data offers must be accessible to every facet of your business. If you're committed to reinventing your organization to a data-driven one, you can empower everyone to unlock data's potential and innovate in new ways. The move from on-premises and self-managed data solu- tions to fully managed cloud data services is a critical first step. Teams that are now free from managing complex and expensive infrastructures can spend time innovating and building new applications. With the right cloud partner, you can make this initial move immediately. Organizations want to be confident their choice of technology will deliver value from their data while keeping it secure and compliant across a broad and ever-changing set of regulations. More organizations partner with AWS to do this than anyone else, with over 450,000 databases migrated from on-premises to the cloud using our database migration service. We've also completed this data modernization ourselves: Amazon.com migrated 75 petabytes of internal data stored in nearly 7,500 Or- acle databases to AWS databases and reduced costs by over 60%. AWS provides you with an easy path to increased data access for all, greater visibility of your data, and immediate peace of mind. Migration to fully managed databases, storage, and analytics services on AWS allows you to offload infrastructure management tasks to AWS and focus on building applications. Join the dynamic AWS community of customers and take the first step of your data modernization journey. Learn more Deploying a modern data infrastructure requires alignment between business and IT goals. As businesses look to reinvent themselves, CIOs have an opportunity to steer the journey with a data infrastructure that makes it easier to access, and act upon, the information that drives business growth and innovation. A cloud-based data infrastructure ultimately positions organizations to adapt more quickly to changing markets and customer needs. "This approach will endure because it's the right way to build things," says Pathak. "It's decou- pled. It lets you scale. It gives you option value for the future and lets you bring in new technology choices." In other words, a modern data foundation will accelerate your ability to capture value from ever-growing volumes of data, while keeping it secure, to help you focus on innovation, not infrastructure. Take the next step in your data modernization journey
