And now, over 80% of firms with 1000 workers or more are using multiple cloud platforms at a time. By 2024, this percentage is expected to jump up to 90%. Moreover, during the next year, the global market spending on public platforms is going to hit the staggering US$277 billion, which is 73% more than in 2018.Many companies rushed into cloud computing because it enables them to be agile and competitive in a fast-paced and ever-changing customer landscape.

The value of effective global supply chain management is increasing each year, as nearly 10-12% of global GDP comprises logistics activities.

Thus, 30% of businesses worldwide stated that their primary objective is to satisfy the rapidly changing customer requirements, which can result in the company’s success. Indeed, companies with high-performing supply chains get more revenues, than the average logistics performers.With this in mind, leaders have to find out the ways to transform their global supply chain management and to adapt to growing customer mandates.

It is crucial to learn the privileges of different types of cloud computing, common pitfalls, and possible risks.

For non-emergency dermatology issues, a new patient from Boston has to wait over 70 days for an appointment with a doctor. People with heart disorders and obstetrics-gynecology requests in Washington and Boston accordingly have to expect for more than 30 days.Even though the wait time to see a primary care physician (PCPs) can be less than 20 minutes, getting an appointment turns out to be a real challenge. 60% of people expect over two weeks only to arrange a visit to a PCP.The wait time grows each year, making it impossible for people to get the necessary medical assistance in due time. The doctors’ rating and patients satisfaction drop down because of this.
