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.
