London's premier enterprise cloud computing conference

This one-day conference enabled senior IT professionals with experience of migrating to the Cloud to sit alongside those who are currently evaluating or using the large range of services on offer. Presentations from practitioners who had introduced cloud computing in the enterprise and industry experts, to discuss the challenges that this significant shift in IT's business model brings.

"Cloud computing" is a term that has expanded to cover a wide range of services, from basic platform capacity to sophisticated business process support, delivered over the network scalably, flexibly and in many cases on-demand.

There's increasing agreement that Cloud services can play a key role in business growth and bring value to the enterprise. For many large organisations it is not a question of whether to "move to the Cloud", but when and how? Yet there are a wide range of concerns, and Cloud suppliers have a significant responsibility to build trust with their customers.

Concerns focus on reliability and performance (often stated to be better than can be achieved internally); the merging of consumer and enterprise service models; supplier lock-in due to lack of appropriate standards, and consequent issues for changing suppliers; and risk and compliance issues including those surrounding data protection.
