LEF Client Forum: The Cloud rEvolution – Improving Agility, Cutting Costs, and Accelerating Business Innovation - 4-5 November 2009, Falls Church, Virginia, USA

While it is easy to dismiss the idea of Cloud Computing as just another IT industry buzzword, this would be unwise.  Just as previous generations of technology have triggered profound business changes, cloud computing enables new ways for organisations to operate faster and more creatively, and often at sharply lower costs.  Over the last year, the Leading Edge Forum has been researching both the business implications and technical evolution of the Cloud Computing phenomena.  In this event, LEF researchers, leading customers, and key suppliers will discuss how cloud computing is being used today within large organisations to make their operations more scalable, virtual, and collaborative, while simultaneously shifting to on-demand and variable cost models.  As more and more business activity moves to the Cloud, companies are adopting new management and security practices, while embracing ongoing cultural change.

This Client Forum will be held on 4-5 November 2009 in Falls Church, Virginia, USA.
