AB InBev Turns To The Cloud And AI For Digital Transformation

Companies of all sizes are embracing cloud computing services to reduce infrastructure costs, increase agility and build new services. Over a third of the companies Lopez Research interviewed are using public cloud infrastructure services but what's impressive now is the range of services companies are adopting. Advanced analytics using cognitive functions is an excellent example of the cloud computing market's expansion beyond infrastructure. Many companies have the issue of legacy infrastructure, but few can say their business goes back hundreds of years. As Tassilo Festetics, the Vice President, Global Solutions at AB InBev, said in a telephone interview, "The world changed around us. At one point, sales were dictated by how fast a salesperson could drive a motorcycle between locations. Today, AB InBev needs to digitize all aspects of its business to be successful."
