In a trio of recent reports, Forrester Research laid out its predictions for the future of the cloud computing market and how enterprise clients will leverage it. In this two-part Webinar series, cloud playbook VP and Principal Analyst James Staten provides a summary overview of this vision, what it means for enterprise clients today, and how to best prepare to leverage cloud services in the future. Part 1 focuses on the growth of the market through 2020 and how the vendor landscape will evolve to provide these services and help enterprises handle the uneven handshake of cloud service responsibility. Part 2 focuses on enterprise corporate strategies and best practices for how organizations are preparing to evolve their application portfolios to maximize the benefits from cloud services and deliver cloud value themselves.
