About the Presentation
“The Cloud” has established itself as a powerful tool in the modern enterprise. But what exactly is the cloud? Why is it becoming so prevalent? Most importantly, how can the cloud impact my projects? For this presentation we will focus on a functional (non-technical) approach to the cloud, highlight a few key terms and concepts that are important to understand when discussing the cloud, and give attendees the opportunity to have a better understanding and insight into the relationship between cloud technologies and key project management elements.
