Blog Part 1: Why InsightCloud Care? The Experts’ Perspective

When we think about the cloud, it’s important to frame it correctly: It’s an operational model, rather than simply a product or location. It is an enabler to digital transformation. It empowers model solutions such as generative AI using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) approach.

Driving IT and business transformation with a cloud model

Cloud is not a product or location.

Coming at cloud from this perspective also reframes the role of your service providers. Delivering InsightCloud Care (ICC), Insight becomes more than just your technical partner. We help you move beyond keep-the-lights-on IT and tailor cloud solutions to align to strategic business outcomes.

ICC for Microsoft Azure empowers Insight to become your strategic guide to operationalizing industry-leading cloud solutions in a way that matches your business. More importantly, it empowers your team to establish a stronger digital transformation foundation, and to plan for the future with the confidence that you’re getting the best results possible from your Microsoft investments.

Understanding consumption is key.

While ICC provides Insight clients with a host of benefits, visibility is one of its top value drivers. As the IT department’s role has become that of a strategic partner, our role at Insight is helping IT transform and become a better partner to the business to drive transformation. We do this through helping create clarity around consumption in a few key ways:

• Understanding what’s being consumed today
• Aligning existing workloads to business outcomes
• Identifying future business needs, and aligning people, process, and technology to prepare

By doing so, we’re helping clients optimize and iterate to realize their next transformative workload. When you can act on insights, you take IT from a cost center to a crucial partner in moving the business forward.

Moving beyond the transaction with Microsoft

Microsoft Azure is the leading platform supporting digital transformation with its approach to identity management (security), workload capabilities in IaaS and PaaS, and data and AI. With Microsoft solutions at the heart of digital transformation, clients can move beyond the transaction by truly using the platform to empower real tangible value for their business. And with ICC to help monitor and manage Microsoft Azure, clients gain the confidence that their cloud strategy is on track.

Microsoft Azure has always been a solid choice for organizations seeking digital transformation. Our goal with ICC is to elevate your cloud platform approach, helping you accelerate digital transformation with Azure with expert guidance and insights you won’t find anywhere else.
