Northeast Indiana Chief Information Officer Forum

3Q15 Meeting - Get your head in the clouds...  



The Northeast Indiana Chief Information Officer (CIO) Forum is comprised of Information Technology leaders (CIOs, IT Directors, and IT Strategists). We meet quarterly, generally from 7:30 – 9:30 AM in various locations, sponsored by the group or other strategic partners, to discuss IT issues, trends, and best practices. This conversational series of sessions are designed to allow the free and confidential exchange of ideas so that CIOs and IT leaders can optimize their Information Technology operation.

 

Get your head in the clouds... 

 cloud-6

 

Details:

Most of our lives, having our heads in the clouds was a bad thing,


but increasingly life is the clouds. Is it a good thing? Do you remember your first cloud application or service?

Join your peers, as we discuss life in the clouds. Our conversation will span from how to select which of your services or applications are ripe for the cloud and migrating to the cloud, to managing and auditing cloud services.

  • Hear how your peers have answered these and other cloud related questions.
  • Have you considering software as a service (SAAS) or infrastructure as a service (IAAS)?
  • Have you seen the returns on investment since moving to the cloud?
  • Have you tried to bring some services back in house?

CIO Forum at a Glance

Educational Value: 

Connecting with peers is great. It provides us all with invaluable insights; but based on comments from the advisory committee we will now feature a technology briefing. This quarters meeting will feature a demonstration of Microsoft's cloud communication / collaboration tool Microsoft Lync.

 

Relationship Value: 

The forum members have enjoyed the predictability of our format; however the packed meeting did not optimize the potential for building of strong relationship. At the request of the advisory committee we will extend the meeting to 9:30 AM. This will respect your time and give opportunities to build strong relationships.
