Not “Cloud First” But Don’t Want to be “Cloud Last”?

Monday, March 13, 2017 | 10:00AM–11:00AM | Oregon Ballroom CD, Ballroom Level
Session Type: Breakout Session
Some schools have embraced a Cloud First strategy, shifting enterprise applications and infrastructure to the cloud. Some are still getting their bearings in the cloud world. If your institution is not all in with the cloud, what do the next few years look like? How do you position policy, security, legal, procurement, governance, and technology staff to make the best use of this new technical “cloudscape”? This session will use the ECAR Cloud’s Preparing the IT Organization for the Cloud series as a roadmap to plot your cloud course regardless of your starting point or ultimate destination.


OUTCOMES: Explain the stages of cloud adoption strategy * Identify important operational steps, strategic trade-offs, and key players involved in a cloud transition * Describe the roles and responsibilities of a cloud-ready organization
