Get Future Forward with SUSE and Microsoft @SUSECON Digital 2022

Staying current with today’s technology innovations is the best way to prepare for your businesses future success. To that end, SUSECON Digital 2022 is providing a future forward look at our industry and technology trends, bringing together our diverse set of partners and technologies to help businesses prepare for their future success.

The need for rapid innovation has never been greater. To become more agile and accelerate innovation, organizations are embarking on journeys of digital transformation. These transformations require modernizing legacy infrastructure and applications, adopting cloud native technologies, and pushing organizational boundaries beyond the data center and cloud, all the way to the edge.

We are excited to share that Microsoft will be a Cornerstone sponsor and that Hiren Shah (Microsoft, Head of Products – SAP on Azure Platform) and Markus Noga (SUSE, General Manager -Linux Product and Marketing) will participate in a keynote discussion to help us provide our customer’s guidance on where the industry is headed with open-source technologies, in cloud native, edge and infrastructure.
