Cloud Leadership Forum 2012

Cloud today is the foundation of the agile enterprise. As it reshapes the way organizations design, consume and manage IT resources, it opens the window of innovation – for more efficient business processes, new products, new lines of business and greater revenue opportunities. The result is a dynamic enterprise where change is a constant, due diligence a requirement and entrepreneurial vision a must. Getting there, of course, is easier said than done.

Enter Cloud Leadership Forum 2012, the only national conference that illuminates cloud’s power, and puts it in your hands. With IT and business executives, market-leading IDC analysts and the seasoned journalists of IDG Enterprise, the program will take a holistic look at all the dimensions of cloud computing – from the latest technologies to transformative strategies – and how you can harness those dimensions to your advantage. Hear how organizations are using clouds to invigorate their businesses, accelerate results and drive profits. We’ll examine and debate how the cultural, process, people and business aspects of cloud come together to drive success. It’s no small task: Change is hard. But in 2012, the question is not if but when and how.
