one of those big disruptors that allows you to develop applications and update your business processes in a way that you did not have the capabilities of doing before .” For Harper , this move to the cloud represents one of the biggest changes in infrastructure he has encountered in his career . “ Everything that we ’ ve developed in the past two years has been completely public cloud based ,” he explains .
Harper says PGi ’ s data load is currently split 60 / 40 between traditional stood-up infrastructure and public cloud respectively , with the entirety of its software-driven products and services having been fully migrated to the cloud . “ Public cloud does a lot for us in terms of speed , rapidity , time-to-market , iteration of features and cost-effectiveness , as wel as global ubiquity in a way that had not been the case prior to when I joined the organisation ,” he continues . PGi ’ s success with cloud adoption has been the result of Harper ’ s significant focus on establishing a methodology that enables the firm to leverage the benefits of public cloud technologies to the fullest . Where others may fall short in direct transfers from traditional infrastructures to the cloud , failing to remodel that infrastructure to become cloud-specific , PGi ensures its software is optimised for the new platform .
