For episode 16 of the 2024 season of our weekly show, TWF! (Tech Wave Forum), we focused on the primary research from Cloud Industry Forum (published 13th May). This is our annual “state of the cloud” report. This year it’s called “Tough times, but innovation springs internal” with the subtitle of “How cloud is the key technology enabler helping businesses innovate in a turbulent period”. Instead of the usual interview, our host and CIF CEO David Terrar summarises the report and its themes, which highlight cloud’s ubiquity, the amazing rate of adoption of GenAI, and the importance of cloud supporting this new era.

For episode 15 of the 2024 season of our weekly show, TWF! (Tech Wave Forum), we are getting the Cloud customer perspective. We’ve talked to someone with in depth experience of enterprise level public cloud adoption and management, from his time at some major well-known brands. Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar interviewed Jay Patel, Head of Public Clouds at Citi, and before that Senior Engineering Manager at Maersk. We’ll be understanding his strategy with cloud, how he selects suppliers, how important people and process is over technology, and getting his 2.0 approach to digital transformation.
