Cloud computing underpins most of the digital tools organisations rely on, from AI platforms to everyday business software. Yet many managers have never had a clear, non-technical explanation of what it is, how it is secured, what it costs, or how to evaluate it. That makes it hard to question a vendor, challenge a budget, or judge whether a project’s foundations are sound.
This five-day course builds practical digital infrastructure literacy for business professionals. It covers cloud fundamentals, deployment models, data storage and resilience, security and data protection basics, how infrastructure enables AI, cost management through FinOps, and how to evaluate providers and proposals. It is anchored in South African conditions: POPIA’s rules on cross-border transfers, the 2024 National Policy on Data and Cloud, sector rules on outsourcing and data location, and local cloud options.
The course uses plain-language explanation, business examples, and practical exercises on sample proposals and cost breakdowns, rather than technical systems training. No coding or IT background is required.
This course equips you to understand, question, and evaluate cloud and digital infrastructure decisions with informed, business-relevant judgement. By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Our diverse instructional approaches ensure effective learning:
