These benefits are available in a self-service model, or one that is actively managed by CenturyLink team members.
“When we launched Cloud Application Manager, our goal was to align operations, development and finance inside enterprise IT without obscuring the differentiating features that make certain cloud environments the best execution venue for a particular business workload,” said David Shacochis, vice president of hybrid IT product management, CenturyLink. “Since then, our customers have achieved significant operational benefits, and become more cloud-enabled across their development, operations and finance groups.
