Cloud for Public Sector Luncheon Briefing

Moving Mission Critical Applications to the Cloud

he Obama Administration's mandate for moving to the cloud is clear. But executing on that "Cloud First" strategy within agencies is less clear-cut. Many federal agencies are finding that integrating business processes and technology in new and better ways helps their organization provide new services, foster better relationships with constituents, manage costs, and increase performance.

Please join us at the Cloud for Public Sector Luncheon Briefing on August 11, 2011! Two federal cloud industry experts will tell you what you need to know to organize and enact your agency's cloud policy.
