Cloud CIO Strategy Author Introduces New Cloud Computing Workshops

Building on the success of his book “Cloud CIO Strategy [1]” published in June 2011, Bruce D’Sena, President of Innogist Holdings, has launched a series of workshops and webinars [2] along the same theme. According to D’Sena, what makes these workshops unique is that they are designed primarily for business leaders and practitioners. Strategic planning, organizational design for the Cloud & other management components are blended with essential technology/architectural elements and case studies to provide an end-to-end view of the current state of the Cloud ecosystem.

“What’s exciting about the Cloud is that it puts full control into the hands of the business stakeholders – so it’s important that we understand it and know how to use it properly. There has been much earlier hype about business driven IT models, but in reality the limitations of in-house IT asset and resources often got in the way. The Cloud removes these constraints and levels the playing field.” says D’Sena.Bruce D'Sena [3]

 “Current economic pressures will accelerate the adoption of Cloud solutions because their value proposition is simply too attractive to ignore. In turn, business output will accelerate and capabilities improve to the point where the shift itself will drive tremendous innovation and a period of revolutionary change.” he continues.“The traditional IT organization is a dying function. The average customer and business user are much savvier than a decade ago and the irony is that many IT teams today survive artificially, structured in ways that conflict with this natural evolution to the Cloud. Our goal at these workshops is to help our audience move away from a culture of self-sustenance to one of progress – which is what the essence of using technology should be all about.”

Special focus tracks on topics such as Mobile Applications and Electronic Payments are available as part of each business workshop to suit specific needs. Despite the breadth of the material covered, each topic is delivered in a concise, cohesive and easy to understand format so that participating managers and working teams alike can take away ideas on which to act on right away.
