About
Join Rich Gibbons from The ITAM Review, Cyndi Tackett & Brian Adler from Flexera on Thursday 27th May at 4pm UK time where they will discuss how IaaS (aka Public Cloud) is an integral element for modern IT Asset Management.
Being involved with IaaS strategy and management within your organisation can help ITAM better align with corporate values and strategic direction whilst also offering an opportunity to raise the profile of ITAM and gain executive buy-in.

- The importance of managing IaaS cloud
- Cloud spend v business value
- Using cloud to align to executive focus
