Economy, flexibility, agility and speed are some of the major benefits cloud computing can deliver to Federal Government agencies. Although the benefits of cloud computing are well documented, there are relatively few case studies in the public sector. Join this session to learn in more detail how cloud solutions have the potential to revolutionize business and IT operations, and how public sector organizations stand to benefit.  Experienced cloud technologists will discuss case examples of cloud computing deployment, recommendations for implementations, and post hoc lessons learned.

Attendees will learn how:

  • Many organizations begin their transition from cloud strategy to successful implementation
  • To select “must move” services that agencies can easily identify as “cloud ready”
  • To develop a successful roadmap for cloud adoption
  • To estimate realistic return on investment for enterprise-wide cloud initiatives
