CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Spaulding Ridge, global cloud advisory and implementation firm, announced today that it’s expanding its cloud advisory practice with the additions of cloud experts Ron Dimon, Partner, Head of the Spaulding Ridge Cloud Advisory Practice, and Rick Cadman, Associate Partner, Head of Strategy and Outcomes.

Under the leadership of Ron and Rick, the Spaulding Ridge Cloud Advisory Practice will help align organizational needs with best practices to maximize their cloud investments. The practice is centered on helping organizations accelerate growth rapidly through strategic and practical advancement of digital transformation. Using cloud road mapping strategies like value engineering and deep diagnostics, along with advanced data and analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), the pair brings decades of experience working with enterprise organizations on strategy transformation, innovation, and outcomes.

“We saw our clients accelerating their cloud application adoption in 2020 and 2021. Now leaders are stepping back, evaluating their investments and asking themselves how they can hyper automate their systems and processes for maximum growth and operational resiliency,” says Sarah Katz, President, Spaulding Ridge. “Rick and Ron have delivered cloud advisory to some of the world’s largest organizations and all have seen significant process and operational efficiency improvement. We can’t wait to offer these services to our clients.”

“It used to be that organizations adopted the cloud to move IT expense from capex to opex. Now many of them see the cloud as a competitive advantage for better growth and agility. Said another way, we’ve gone from bottom-line cloud to top-line cloud. We can’t wait to bring the full digital transformation capabilities of Spaulding Ridge and the cloud to our clients,” states Ron Dimon, Partner, Head of the Spaulding Ridge Cloud Advisory Practice.

“Organization have to move quickly in a digital-first economy. Our goal is to fast-track clients using the right tools, processes, and technologies – to have full value chain integration and optimization – so that our clients continue to be first in the marketplace,” says Rick Cadman, Associate Partner, Head of Strategy and Outcomes. “Our number one focus is to ensure our clients are future-ready.”
