Intelligent Business Cloud is an integrated hybrid model for managing multiple platforms and vendors. It provides the ability to move workloads between private and public clouds.

1. Realizing the potential of the
Intelligent Business Cloud

2. It's so much more than the cloud you know

Companies have leveraged the cloud
to become agile, digital businesses,
but few get everything they need—
or should be getting—from the cloud.
Now that’s about to change.
The next iteration of hybrid
cloud—what Accenture calls the
Intelligent Business Cloud—
is an open, scalable and
integrated approach to
managing the hybrid cloud
landscape from a single point.

3. Today every business
is a digital business
Under pressure
to innovate faster

…in less time
…with fewer resources
…and with greater flexibility

4. In the digital world, success comes from…
Finding entirely new ways to increase the value of
every customer experience and business interaction,
not just doing things differently.
Digital businesses will exhibit some combination of
three factors that are enabled by cloud:

Speed and
agility
Consuming
everything
as a service
Integration

5. But the history of cloud has been one of discrete
offerings that solve only parts of the problem

This is like running a parcel service where the warehouse-to-
door truck delivery and air-freight operations are exemplary, but
the hand-off from truck to airport distribution center is
haphazard.
What’s needed is cohesion.
Where the entire operation is seamless and automated.
To experiment, adapt, analyze and collaborate at speed,
organizations need the next evolution of hybrid cloud.

Cloud technology
isn’t a trend – it’s
the basis for your
company’s whole
intelligent digital
business stance.
Design for
“cloud first”
The default must
be about
consuming
services rather
than building
them.
Invest with
business
outcomes in
mind
Cloud spending
should tie directly
to measurable
business results.
Secure best-
in-class talent
The most valuable
talent will think in
terms of digitally
enabled platforms
that span
