In the News: Coca-Cola CIO Reveals the Recipe for an AWS Transformation

We stumbled upon this article this week and we are glad that we did. Miriam McLemore, the CIO at Coca-Cola, discusses the business’s AWS migration from their previous legacy on-premise servers. Obviously the cloud is an amazing resource thanks to its advantages over on premise servers. As well as, it is the technical direction that businesses need to adopt to stay relevant in this age of ever increasing technology. Having a dependable infrastructure, that is made to support your business’ goals could be the difference between successful and unsuccessful businesses. It doesn’t matter if whether you are a large enterprise, a small business, or a startup.

One of our favorite highlights from Miriam is discussing how Coca-Cola replaced an SAP HR Software & 92 other workplace legacy systems to AWS:  “You’ve got to organize as smaller independent teams. My Workday team started out with 150 people. To accomplish this goal, we broke it down into the functions. We had a learning management team and we had a coordinating team and we had a competence team. Once you broke it down to its core components, we began to pick up momentum.”
