EVENT DETAILS AND INFORMATION ABOUT GUEST SPEAKERS
The conference will focus on our clients’ current concerns, addressing the topics of cloud adoption, the evolution of the role IT departments play as service consultants and brokers, as well as the steps involved in implementing a business cloud. The session will cover the architecture, components, and operation of a cloud in a hybrid environment. In addition to a demonstration of the foregoing, we will present a comprehensive proof-of-concept/proof-of-value approach that you can choose to use in your own business.
