Keynote Presentation
Now that cloud's initial phase of investigation and evaluation is behind us, we have entered into a new era of more aggressive implementation. In this second wave, much of the focus will be on moving traditional enterprise IT applications to cloud-based services. Partner selection and technical evaluation will be key components of success during this next wave.
In this session, Forrester Research principal analyst Bill Martorelli will illustrate how mid-sized enterprises are migrating to the cloud, review key selection criteria when moving traditional IT production workload to cloud services, and illustrate potential performance and financial benefits of cloud-based IT delivery. Specific topics that will be covered include:
- How cloud computing solutions have evolved since 2008 and now deliver greater maturity, stability and performance
- How traditional applications can be successfully migrated to cloud platforms
- Mastering the challenges of sourcing in the cloud
- How to activate cloud economics for outsized financial gains
Whether your company is just getting started with cloud or is ready to take the next step, you will be able to directly apply the lessons learned in this session.
Speaker:
Bill Martorelli, Principle Analyst, Forrester Research
