2 2 Data Center World – Certified Vendor Neutral Each presenter is required to certify that their presentation will be vendor-neutral. As an attendee you have a right to enforce this policy of having no sales pitch within a session by alerting the speaker if you feel the session is not being presented in a vendor neutral fashion. If the issue continues to be a problem, please alert Data Center World staff after the session is complete.

3 3 The Cloud is Now! After years of discussion, false starts, and challenges, the transition to cloud computing is happening now! Come learn how an organization serving more than 34,000 end users transitioned to the cloud--from moving calendars, email, and collaboration systems, to the more complex transition of the ERP and other mission critical applications. Topics will include security, access from anywhere, organizational considerations with ways to effectively manage them, change management needs, transition from a capital to expense budget model, and reduce the physical space needed to house traditional on-premise data centers. Q&A will follow.
