About

Over the last few years most organisations have adopted a ‘cloud-first’ strategy for their compute and storage needs.

The assumptions driving such a strategy have included responsiveness and scalability, improved customer experience and cost efficiency. But reality is now setting in as digital leaders analyse the real cost and feasibility of migrating to a multi-cloud environment. Factors such as security and compliance, workload balancing and data integration are muddying the cloud waters.

To initiate the debate we have invited:

• Dirk Deridder, Operations Director IT Infrastructure, Systems, Services and Support at Smals
• Janne Leppanen, CIO at ADITRO (SD Worx)
• Glenn Fitzgerald, Principal CSA at Fujitsu

Issues that we will discuss during this exclusive lunch include:

• How effectively does public cloud address governance and regulatory compliance
• What is the optimal allocation of workloads between cloud and on-premise?
• Will your IT vendors co-invest in the migration of applications to cloud?
• What is the right balance between cloud and on-premise for the long term?

To boost your active participation, a lovely lunch will be delivered at your doorstep in the morning.
