Shared Services in the Cloud Webcast

According to several recent surveys, the top two priorities for CIOs are cloud computing and shared services. Private sector organizations including Ford, GE, Pfizer and Rolls Royce have been successfully implementing shared services since 1980. However, failed implementations in the US public sector have been widely publicized leading to misconceptions about the role of shared services.

In this session you will learn what shared services are and how they can be successfully deployed to provide efficiency through industrialization, and cost avoidance by leveraging common resources.We will discuss how shared services and cloud computing are a perfect match. We will highlight the newest developments by FedRAMP and NIST on cloud standards and show you how community cloud is the perfect model for Shared Services.
