Cloud Computing: The IT Technology Solution of the Future Presented by: Chris Tryon

Key Considerations When Making IT Investments What does my business need and how can technology help me meet my goals? How long will the solution take to be deployed? What are the steps to deploy successfully? How much will the solution cost? What about deployment and maintenance? Will my organization need more IT resources to support this solution? How quickly will our people be able to learn and use the solution? Who stands behind the technology to protect our investment? Can the solution easily scale to meet the changing requirements of my business?
