Despite the worldwide cloud computing momentum, however, best practices are still in their infancy. Improving the understanding of which assets and applications to host as a service in the cloud -- versus on-site -- is a critical first step to taking control of the cloud for your enterprise. In this session, learn about the process one CIO has followed in determining which IT applications can be outsourced to the cloud. He will share the factors he examined and give examples of how outsourcing to the cloud enables him to achieve a stronger business value from his IT department.
