May meeting–Cloud Computing: Demystify the Technology by Running the Return On Investment Numbers

Topic: Cloud Computing:  Demystify the Technology by Running the Return On Investment Numbers

Date: Tuesday, May 10, Networking 5:15 pm – Program – 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Location: Hilton Garden Inn at Innsbrook, 4050 Cox Road, Glen Allen, Virginia

Program Description

Cloud Computing is as much legend and hype as it is the next technological trend that will impact Information Technology.  While many of us still cannot put our fingers on a specific definition of the technology, others are performing an ROI Analysis to sell this technology to the Chief Executive Officers.  Join AITP as we explore Cloud Computing, by first demystifying the technology and then by determining the return on investment this technology promises.  Through this journey to technology clarity, we will touch on some of the harder to quantify aspects such as security, compliance, and risks to see how those components play into the overall promise of Cloud Computing and ultimately into the return this technology promises on our investment.

Seats are limited, so register now, and you won’t forget later.

You may also join the AITP LinkedIn group to keep informed about programs and other networking opportunities.
