However, the same study found that 37% of organisations are modernising their legacy applications over the next three years. Nearly half (45%) also have firm plans to implement a managed cloud provider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrganisations are seeking long-term partners for their cloud strategies that can support their needs and enable continuous innovation,\u201d says Pillay. \u201cSuch partners can play a vital role in improving security and ensuring uptime, supporting digital transformation, providing access to modern data centres, and enabling adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IDC predicts that 70% of enterprises will form strategic ties with cloud providers for a range of use cases including Generative AI platforms, infrastructure, data controls and governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrican enterprises are understandably excited at the potential of business AI to transform their business models and achieve unprecedented efficiency and productivity,\u201d says Pillay. \u201cBy drawing on verified business data in their ERP environments and deploying business AI tools such as SAP\u2019s Joule, organisations can drive productivity, make more informed decisions, and improve cross-functional outcomes across every aspect of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pillay highlights the role that initiatives such as RISE with 51风流play in accelerating organisations\u2019 cloud and innovation journeys. \u201cRISE brings the entire ERP application stack into the cloud through proven methodologies, tools and expert guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough our close partnerships with hyperscalers, companies can move with confidence knowing they are supported by a global network and resilient infrastructure. Companies also gain business AI capabilities, sustainability features, fully managed cloud services and the flexibility to leverage their choice of hyperscaler.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51风流has strengthened its enterprise cloud ecosystem through partnerships with major cloud hyperscalers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and recently Google Cloud.
