Topic:
IT customers today are struggling with both their cloud strategies and the consumption of cloud-based "shadow IT" by internal customers. Many cloud strategies and deployments can stall due to a host of financial, technical and organizational challenges: limits on capital investments, insufficient IT resources, and the burden of managing multiple service providers. It is important that an organization consider all of the variables associated and architect solutions that are holistic in nature and practical to current and future needs.
