March Meeting

Abstract
As cloud computing continues to enter the main stream development approaches for organizations, we want to take a focused look at the business, cultural, organizational, and long term IT implications of adoption of cloud computing.

We’ll cover 9 different cloud models to learn the diversity of impacts they have on the organization. Consider the diversity of existing solutions that exist in a large organization today, each are different in design, flexibility, criticality, and data sensitivity. How will an enterprise application portfolio evolve in the face of 9 and growing number of approaches? Lastly, this presentation will use visualization tools to help technical architects conduct managed conversations with business sponsors over the decisions that will have to be made in the coming years. The visualizations provide a way to objectify the conversation and can also create a historical perspective of investments and score carding.
