Tremendous benefits exist for small and medium-sized businesses and multinational companies that leverage cloud applications in new ways. Understanding the challenges and rewards of adapting system as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is key to effectively evaluating and implementing cloud products across an organization. Although these products enable companies to lower costs, improve performance and drive revenue, successful integration remains a significant challenge. Join us, and discover both the long and short-term benefits cloud applications will have within large and small enterprises—where there is a shift away from antiquated business processes and a move towards businesses that are smarter, more efficient and capitalize the opportunities of technology.
Panel 1: Moving to the Cloud: Understanding and Evaluating Change
Cloud application adoption in China is low, but companies are now starting to see how they can balance the effects of an increase in labor and operational costs. Although cloud products are traditionally seen as cost-savers, their real value comes from their ability to analyze data and drive revenue across an organization. As a result, recently there has been remarkable growth amongst SaaS, PaaS and IaaS providers. How to implement cloud applications that benefit an organization, and evaluate both the long and short-term impacts of these services is sometimes a challenge. Our panelists will discuss the critical factors to better understand and accurately evaluate cloud products and providers and the change that it can bring to an organization.

Panel 2: Applying the Cloud: Optimize Organizational Scalability, Flexibility and Agility
Scalability, flexibility and agility are achieved by successfully implementing cloud applications across the organization. Implementation must then be reinforced through employee adoption and the adaptation of traditional business processes. Only through the complete integration of traditional and digital processes can businesses effectively leverage cloud products to maximize their returns on investment. Our panelists will examine and evaluate the key elements of effective cloud application implementation within an organization and how it can drive business goals.
