  Topics:

  • When & How to Choose the Cloud for your Data Strategy
    • Almost every company - SMB, Enterprise, Global - is trying to better understand how to
      accelerate value for their customers and associates. The public cloud has been at the center of
      digital transformation & value acceleration, but many companies are struggling to make sense
      of the complexities that come with deploying a data strategy built in the cloud. We will provide
      guidance and tips on when and how to assess the correct cloud(s) for your data strategy.
  • Best Practices for Cloud Adoption & Migration
    • So now that you are on your data cloud journey, how do you accelerate the adoption and
      migration of your data cloud strategy? What personnel need to be in place, who can help, what
      tools can help?
  • Securing & Governing Data in the Cloud
    • Development, access, & time to market all accelerate when businesses are no longer
      landlocked by infrastructure capacity, but cloud adopters must understand how to secure and
      govern their data in the cloud. We will review how cloud native tools have built a shared
      security model to accelerate security & governance of your company’s data.
  • How the Cloud can accelerate Data Collaboration
    • Data & application ecosystems are forming in the cloud. We will explore how companies can
      connect to their data ecosystem across multiple clouds.
