When the Wall Street Journal ran an article in April, 2010 on the Cloud, all over the country CIOs got immediate calls from their CEOs saying: “We need one of those….” However, no one was entirely sure what “one of those” was. The technology is one aspect, but everyone understands that the focus must be on strategies that deliver business results, rather than on a particular system or “solution.”

Join like-minded executives of consulting firms to learn about what the Cloud is really about and where the benefits are for both small and large consulting companies, whether you are part of the CIO or CTO office or a senior manager or partner.
