CLOUD COMPUTING
WORKSHOP
Cloud computing offers businesses the opportunity to minimise
capital and operational costs whilst maximising their ability to
focus on doing what they do best. The rate of global growth
in the cloud market exceeds total IT spend fourfold, yet many
organisations are unsure of how to apply these new technologies
to maximum advantage. Zsah Technology Group has put together
a series of workshops to help business leaders understand ‘The
Cloud Decision.’ Key considerations throughout our workshops are
security, total cost of ownership, procurement, business alignment
and the range of cloud service providers.
