Presented by Almudena Rodriguez Pardo, Blackmetric Business Solutions

 

What are OKRs? Is this some sort of improved KPIs? Are OKRs going to solve the problems of my organization?

Business Model Resiliency: Moving to Online Services for lowest Total Cost of Ownership

Presented by Mark Gamble Product and Solutions Marketing Director at Chouchbase  

 

The post-pandemic economy is accelerating digital transformation in almost every organization. There’s a rush to move everything online as new business models emerge to provide zero contact “touchless” services. At the same time, many businesses are struggling with fewer resources and slashed budgets, making them more cost conscious than ever. This brings equal parts opportunity and cost control pressure to IT. To stay competitive, maximize value, and minimize costs, organizations must adopt technology that can meet the demands of modern applications with the lowest total cost of ownership.

In this online webinar event we will examine how a database-as-a-service can provide the scale and efficiency your applications require, and how Couchbase Cloud - the DBaaS from Couchbase - delivers the best value and lowest TCO in the market through a combination of raw performance power and transparent policies.
