Closing the Cloud Skills Gap with Engineering Talent that Flexes with You

Carl Ramkarran
Senior Product Manager - Public Cloud
IT leaders are under growing pressure to drive digital transformation and leverage the cloud to unlock new revenue streams, enhance customer experiences, and drive continuous innovation. Yet, according to a recent study, more than three in five have difficulty finding and hiring the necessary candidates to support organizational cloud initiatives. The impact includes stalled business transformation programs, delays to critical projects, and inhibited operational efficiency.
If organizations are fortunate enough to secure skilled resources, it’s often at a higher cost than budgeted. And there may still be project bottlenecks as new recruits wait out their notice periods and undergo onboarding.
Sometimes IT leaders need cloud engineering talent at short notice for a particular transformation project, or to supplement an existing team for a set period of time. In these circumstances, contracting out to unknown individuals can be risky.
