Just like video killed the radio star, cloud market forces are destroying the existing technology market.

While the IT outsourcing services market is barely keeping up with inflation, the cloud services market is growing by between 20 and 35 percent a year. Karl Marx called this “creative destruction.” One market goes away or stops growing while a new market comes into being. Industry research indicates that 50-60 percent of organizations will embrace cloud computing over the next five years. However, an immature market creates both opportunities and pitfalls. Right now it’s difficult for buyers to make sense of the cloud market. Like you, enterprise IT executives around the globe are seeking to understand how to approach Cloud Computing as part of their broader IT sourcing strategies.

Alsbridge Director, Marc Liebman, and Managing Director, Robert Joslin, present a market-defining methodology that IT executives are already using to make informed decisions on cloud sourcing. From describing the beginnings of the Cloud revolution through to advice on developing a Cloud roadmap and executing contractual terms, this presentation will help IT executives sift through the noise that is currently confusing the IT industry. This presentation will give ITO buyers a holistic view of the emerging cloud market and will provide important information for CIOs, CFOs, sourcing executives, IT consultants and business services executives.
