This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting in on Michael Collier’s presentation, “Migrating Enterprise Applications to the Cloud”, at Cloud Expo West.
The National Architect for Neudesic, Michael had some interesting guidance on how to decide which application to move to the cloud and how to prioritize their migration.
At the 2011 HIMSS show in Orlando, I spent the first day getting the feel for the show and into a rhythm with our team at INetU’s booth. Finally on the second day I was able to attend a session. The session I chose to attend was: Securing Health Information on the Cloud.
The speaker, Feisal Nanji (Executive Director for Techuman), did a great job of outlining cloud terminology basics for the purpose of framing his discussion. While a highly technical audience may have found much of it to be a review, there were a lot of useful takeaways to help the less technically-minded attendees unravel the data security confusion that’s compounded by the “fuzzy” nature of cloud discussions.
In my opinion, this is where a lot of other thought leaders “miss”: they spew facts and statistics, but often don’t guide the audience to put their own problems in the correct context so they learn to ask the right questions.
