Data and AI integration: Richer and more personal experiences are created by the organization by gathering new sources of the data on the public cloud-like weather, CRM, IoT, ERP, and social with present data analytics, AI capabilities, and machine learning.

Enhancing legacy apps: On-premises, it has 80 percent of applications however most of the firms are using the public cloud services to improve the user experience and organize the new devices globally, even they modernize the core systems of business.
