There are few things more critical in creating an effective, innovative workplace than fostering employee engagement. An engaged employee views his or her position as more than just a means to earn money--they feel a sense of duty to make your organization greater than the sum of its parts. Their actions will motivate their colleagues, like a committed athlete inspiring the other members of the team, or a musician in an orchestra setting the tone for a symphony. Employee engagement elevates the atmosphere of your workplace to one in which every contributor is focused on the long-term success of the enterprise as a whole. While it may seem obvious that engagement should be a crucial aspect of any business environment, the reality is that fewer than 1 in 3 employees are actively engaged. Taking steps to combat this lack of engagement will lead to real, tangible improvements in every facet of your organization.

A multi-cloud world is quickly becoming the new normal for many enterprises. But embarking on a cloud journey and managing cloud-based services across multiple providers can seem overwhelming. Even the term multi-cloud can be confusing. Multi-cloud is not the same as hybrid cloud. The technical definition of hybrid cloud is an environment that includes traditional data centers with physical servers, private cloud with virtualized servers as well as public cloud provisioned by service providers. Quite often, multi-cloud simply means that an organization uses multiple public clouds from many vendors to deliver its IT services. In other words, organizations can have a multi-cloud without having a hybrid cloud, or they can have a multi-cloud as part of a hybrid cloud.
