Companies seek the potential benefits of cloud-based computing, but IT sourcing pros know that “the devil’s always in the details.” Converting from a traditional technology to a cloud-based product-as-a-service model requires a dramatic departure from how most companies operate today. Whether it’s Microsoft, Oracle, SAP or IBM offering hosted versions of productivity suites, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Human Capital Management (HCM), an effective move to the cloud requires an understanding of the user and licensing implications of the migration. This session was targeted to senior sourcing leadership and IT sourcing specialists.

Topics covered in this session included:

• How to understand the business model
• How to structure the financial and contractual model
• How best to align the subscription offerings with use cases
• How to prepare for change management implications
