Orange Business Services’ Franck Morales discusses the intricacies of orchestrating true digital transformation in which human and AI users perform all tasks in the cloud. Businesses need a defined infrastructure strategy that delivers a cloud platform capable of hyperscaling their federated resources. Can today’s service providers be the providers of all?

In this Executives at the Edge episode, host Pascal Menezes explores these topics and more with Franck Morales of Orange Business Services:

• The accelerated shift to doing everything in the cloud. 
• How infrastructure has become a critical element of business strategy. 
• Why service providers need to be able to think forward and completely differently about their services.  
• What does hyperscaling resources in the cloud require and who are the hyperscalers—competitors or collaborators? 
• And what does it ultimately take to be a provider of all?
