ELANCO to the table . The sheer scale of the work over the past few years is beyond anything I have experienced in my career . There was a huge amount we needed to learn , and frankly , it would ' ve been unrealistic for our teams to succeed within the aggressively defined timelines .
“ We brought in WinWire , and they came with the cloud , application and data expertise we needed .
“ The uniqueness of that relationship was WinWire engaged as a partner , focused on the Elanco business outcome , which goes above and beyond a traditional clientvendor relationship .
“ WinWire ' s team operated on the ground , as an embedded part of our product and project teams . They brought specific expertise , right-sized for the job - expertise that Elanco simply didn ' t have access to at the time .
“ They also brought horsepower and an ability to scale up where needed , to drive towards our outcomes and deadlines .”
He says the other piece WinWire brought was helping Elanco implement and buildout the automation stack .
“ A big part of our automation stack was the creation of predefined patterns that align with the workloads that we most commonly use across Elanco ,” he says . “ WinWire completed an application and data dependency exercise to ensure the goal was clearly defined . They then supported the design and delivery of the patterns , treating them as products of their own . Our product and project teams use these patterns as the consistent starting point for all digital / data workloads .”

“ The advantage of Terraform is that it directly enables our Hybrid Multi-Cloud strategy .
“ We believe the future is Hybrid Multi- Cloud , providing a flexible foundation to meet our regulatory and compliance requirements alongside our innovation expectations .
“ The challenge , of course , is how do you support and scale Hybrid Multi-Cloud effectively ? cybermagazine . com 139
