Description:

The first wave of cloud services already provide benefits to self-contained enterprises. The second wave of clouds will primarily address outsourced IT infrastructures. However, outsourcing providers perceive cloud services as a threat to their business. Join us as Forrester introduces an alternative approach around how outsourcing providers and their customers can benefit from cloud computing and even SaaS application vendors.

Agenda:

• Initial cloud adoption is driven by Tech Populism.
• Cloud and traditional outsourcing conflict
• Turn the thread into an opportunity.
• The win-win-win situation for outsourcing providers, customers, and SaaS ISVs

Vendors mentioned: Amazon, Apprenda, BT, Cordys, EDS, IBM, Longjump, Microsoft, Netsuite, T-Systems, Workday
