CMA

Pressures on businesses to manage TCO and produce greater returns from existing ICT assets continue to be challenges for the ICT professional. The cloud offers a widening variety of options for businesses. These include services such as Productivity and Revenue Generating applications; Conferencing, Video and Voice, Collaborative working, Business Assurance; storage and disaster recovery, Customer Management: Virtual Call Centres. Assessing the impact in taking on these services will inevitably bring up compromises in requirements and trade offs in business benefits. SLA’s, security, personal data protection, network availability and bandwidth, location, accessibility, application depth, deployment scope, fit to organisation size and the reality of financial impact are some of the factors that must be assessed. This CMA event looks into the opportunities and pitfalls of investing in software as a service and virtualisation.
