Cloud Computing has the potential to fundamentally change the way organizations consume and pay for the technology solutions they utilize to sell to and service their customer base. In the past few months, federal and local governments have committed to moving over 250,000 technology users to Cloud Services, and that number is growing daily. In order to keep the Central Ohio community on the forefront of the Cloud Computing wave, TechColumbus will host a round-table discussion in our main conference room Thursday, January 27, 2011. The business breakfast series discussion: Alter the IT Atmosphere- will answer your questions regarding Cloud Computing. Panelists will cover the various Cloud solution providers, as well as the value proposition of an organization to consume Cloud Services.
Included on this roundtable will be technology leaders of Central Ohio organizations who have implemented Cloud Services for their organizations, Cloud Computing providers including TechColumbus Platform Lab, as well as Cloud Computing consultants who are advising Central Ohio organizations on the benefits and business cases for Cloud Services. Panelists will also include some of Central Ohio’s leading businesses which are using Cloud computing to optimize their business.
The goal of this roundtable discussion is for the audience to walk away with a better understanding of the various Cloud Computing solutions and solution providers, and the business and technology benefits of utilizing Cloud Computing solutions. With this knowledge, the audience can then be informed where and how Cloud Computing solutions can be of benefit to their organization as either a consumer of Cloud Computing solutions or a value-added aspect of the Cloud Computing provider value chain.
