Acceleration Economy Cloud Wars Expo

June’s live Cloud Wars Expo event featured dozens of industry leaders allowing the Acceleration Economy team access to the inner workings of the greatest growth market the world has ever known.

If you missed the Expo or just want to catch up on sessions you were not able to attend, then you’re in luck. We recorded more than 40 hours of education sessions from the event, which are available for free to Acceleration Economy subscribers. We’re also previewing the content in this series of Moments, which feature highlights from each session.

In this Cloud Wars Expo Moment, excerpted from the “Removing Security Friction” education session, Acceleration Economy analyst Chris Hughes explains why every company is a technology company and how security protocols can cause unwelcome friction with users if businesses don’t implement them properly.

Highlights

00:01 — Nearly every organization uses technology to drive business growth.

00:33 — The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that 60% of global GDP will be tied to digital platforms by the end of 2022. “Every company is a technology company.”

01:07 — Organizations must strike a balance between secure digital footprints and a positive customer experience (including easily-accessible data). Security can introduce friction to the user experience.


Access more than 40 hours of cloud education content featuring 100-plus speakers at Cloud Wars Expo On-Demand. All content is free to Acceleration Economy subscribers with an on-demand pass.
