On-Demand Webinar: Your Cloud Vision — Is It 2020?

Most businesses have shifted their thinking about cloud from “if” to “when.” This presents a great opportunity for channels, especially since IT may know why they need cloud, but they don’t know how to migrate from their legacy infrastructure. More than ever, IT needs a trusted partner for this journey, and channel partners are in a great position — provided they are prepared. New skill sets will be needed, not just for the underlying technologies, but for assessing the right deployment model for end customers.

This webinar will provide valuable insights for channels looking to capitalize on the cloud opportunity and bring 2020 vision to your customers. Aside from showing how to build the business case for customers to adopt cloud, our panelists will address the right use cases for public, private and hybrid deployment models. For many businesses, hybrid cloud is the model of choice, and attendees will come away with a clear sense for getting their customers along that path.
