You’ll learn how to: · Assess the opportunities, benefits, and risks of cloud services in your environment · Use the cloud to improve processes, accelerate system/product delivery, or create entirely new products and businesses · Approach the cloud strategically (and learn why you should) · Understand cloud infrastructure, operations, and standards from the decision-maker’s point of view · Build on existing solution architecture, design practices, and SOA investments · Ensure appropriate control, monitoring, compliance, and security · Use IT process standardization to simplify cloud services management · Define a flexible roadmap that enables multiple projects to move forward in parallel, and can change as the marketplace evolves Cover illustration by RapidEye /iStockphoto.com
