  Conference Details:

Cloud Computing is the latest disruptive technology. Enterprises, large and small, are looking to cloud computing providers for savings, flexibility and scalability. However, potential adopters of all sizes are concerned about security, data management, privacy, performance and control. Separating the hype, even the overhype, from the reality has been a challenge for every enterprise.

This is not a vendor-hawking tradeshow, rather a forum where executives share their experiences making this crucial business decision. If you are in the decision-making or the deployment stage this conference will provide a roadmap for your organization. Two content streams will examine cloud computing from the boardroom down and from within the IT department: 1) The Executive Track will provide a roadmap for an organizational leader to decide if cloud computing makes good business sense for the overall enterprise and 2) The Deployment Track will outline how to implement cloud services in your enterprise to ensure your organization captures the savings, flexibility, scalability and security that your organization needs.
