Industry Leaders to Deliver Free Web Cast on Best Cloud Computing Practices

As cloud services are transforming to critical applications delivery model, industry experts are keen to develop strategies that will best utilize the benefits of the technology. 

A team of industry leaders, including those from Intel (News - Alert), Univa UD and Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, announced they are hosting a free Web cast to provide insights and best practices on cloud-based IT service delivery.

 

The Web cast titled “Cloud as a Service Delivery Platform: Best Practices and Practical Insights,” will take place on Thursday, October 8 at 2:00 p.m. ET.

 

“Taking the concept of cloud and applying it to technology is best done by leveraging experience from teams working with IT providers and end users in the field,” Billy Cox (News - Alert), director, Cloud Strategy and Planning, Software and Services Group, Intel Corporation, said. “These sessions apply that experience and provide a recipe for success.”

 

Through this initiative, the experts will address key questions concerning the delivery of cloud-based application services. Speakers will address lessons learned in both strategic planning and execution phases of cloud service delivery, presenting valuable tips and discussing experiences in a highly interactive forum.

 

The Web cast is crafted for directors or executives responsible for application delivery and other services at leading service providers, telecommunications companies, hosting providers, or web ISVs looking to offer applications in a SaaS (News - Alert) model. It will also present the latest requirements in cloud computing that end users are demanding.

 

According to Jason Liu, service providers already know why cloud is a critical application delivery strategy; what they really want to learn is ‘how’ to leverage cloud technology to differentiate themselves and bring new offerings to market.

 

The Web cast, according to Liu, will present fresh and valuable insights into the top offerings that providers can bring to market, and the technologies required to make it happen.

 

“Any organization considering, planning, or executing a cloud strategy for service delivery can benefit from actionable market intelligence,” Chris Curran, partner and CTO, Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, said. “There are significant opportunities in the cloud marketplace today, but also significant competition that can’t be ignored.”
