Is your organisation’s infrastructure on par or out of bounds?

Read how The R&A have revolutionised infrastructure

Building the right digital foundations is increasingly vital to hitting par for modern organisations. To do this, it’s not just about the systems that power processes. Instead, it’s about getting the right people and transformation in place using effective infrastructure.

To uncover more about how to modernise infrastructure, ComputerWeekly.com recently interviewed Steve Otto, CTO at the R&A, golf’s organising body. The piece provides interesting, implementable insights into building an infrastructure for the modern age. By utilising the data it has, the R&A has reached new heights with organising the sport, enriching broadcasts with additional data sources, right through to helping players increase their performance using data.

The most effective transformation initiatives cut across how to get from A-to-B, and focus instead on a continuously evolving process of change. Building the infrastructure to support this is an ongoing process that requires a combination of technical expertise, business analysis, and effective project management. This fits into a core theme we have discussed before on The Cloud Community – that is putting the business at the centre of your strategy, and the notion that migrating to the cloud is a journey not a destination.
