Mitsloan Cio - Cloud Computing Panel

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hails technology as the gift that keeps on giving

. If technology is the gift, then Cloud Computing is the ribbon around it. Eric Schmidt, Chairman and Chief Executive for Google(R), calls cloud computing the 'defining technological shift of our generation', noting that its impact on technology and business may prove more significant than the PC revolution of the 1980s and it is likely to impact as wide a range of professional disciplines.

Join us on May 19, 2010 as our panel of industry experts discuss the implications of the Cloud across all industry segments. Harnessing this momentous shift in how businesses leverage IT services falls on the CIO. He or she must effectively communicate to business leaders and IT professionals Cloud Computing holistically, approaching it from the perspective of both technology and traditional business models.

The Cloud keynote panel addresses the practicality and applications necessary to ensure that Cloud applications and services fit seamlessly into existing processes. Strategically, this objective only can be achieved for enterprise level IT processes if applications running in the Cloud conform to established security and governance policies. Concurrently they must integrate with existing systems and operational procedures without disrupting existing budgets.

The panelists are an all-star cast of experts who have had a big dose of industry experience. Including:

* Ms. Kirsten Wolberg is Chief Information Officer at Salesforce.com, leading the Information Technology organization responsible for building and maintaining the global technology infrastructure and business applications for all Salesforce.com employees and business units.
