I'm purchasing digital resources - how does this certification help me?

Many companies have outsourced their IT infrastructure or have started to adopt Cloud infrastructure to either develop new products & services, migrate existing infrastructure, or drive a digital transformation of their business.

These processes involve purchasing what we refer to as 'digital resources' from external suppliers, which can come in various forms ('product variants') as illustrated in the visual below.
