Session Details

Session description

Minimal entry barriers have enabled many companies to play an active role as cloud services provider, often providing small but niche services. This makes it difficult for end users to keep track of various cloud providers, thereby paving the way for Cloud Brokers (also called as Cloud Service Brokers). While many established systems integrators and internal government organizations can play this role, there exists an opportunity to bring in uniformity by adopting centralized solutions.

JP will elaborate on this strategy, discuss the pros and cons of this approach, identify necessary components to create an effective solution, and outline optimal engagement and execution model to realize measurable benefits.
