Abstract | You are warmly invited to attend a FREE evening talk at The Park Inn, Bedford (opposite Bedford College) on Wednesday 27 January 2016. "How to select your new cloud provider: A rigorous, effective and proven approach" is the topic of a talk by Martin Tate. Most organisations under-estimate the risks when selecting IT solutions such as cloud provision. They use conventional product procurement approaches, or the informal "I’ll know it when I see it". Martin Tate’s presentation explains why ordinary approaches pretty much guarantee the best candidate will withdraw or be de-listed. He illustrates his methodical approach using an actual cloud selection - his first was in 2002, before it was even termed cloud - the winner was provably a better fit, but less than one-tenth the cost of the runner up. | ||||||||||
