Presented by Rod Saffin & Ashwani Chandhok - Oracle
Tuesday, 28th July 2015
Today Cloud is something which is getting enormous amounts of time in private and public discussions. Companies and Governments are announcing Cloud First Strategies. However when you scratch the surface and look behind the use of the word ?cloud? it can quickly get confusing as to what is meant (eg. SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, DaaS, public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud) and what value can be gained.
Making Cloud Real will cover what analysts are predicting about cloud, what cloud can do for you, different cloud models, integration approaches so business processes work and migration considerations. The changes to IT job roles in a cloudy future will also be discussed.
AFTER the conclusion of Rod and Ashwani's presentation at 1.30pm, there will be an opportunity for you to network with your industry colleagues over tea and coffee until 2.00pm.
