MES18 Executive Session: The Great Midmarket Cloud Debate

joe-marianoSenior Research Analyst at Gartner, Joe Mariano will be sharing his thoughts on the transforming nature of the mid market cloud experience. According to Joe, although leaders in the midmarket space have begun to migrate some of their workloads and applications into the cloud, they're looking at a range of different ways to transform their business, including hybrid, private, and public cloud options.

This diversity has generated a debate among the mid-market IT community on how investments, security, and support should be managed in the cloud setting. IT leaders need to address these decisions with a focus on innovation, and long-term durability for their businesses and this speech hopes to help organizations to make a more informed choice.

Vennard-WrightFinally, budgeting might not be the most exciting part of preparing for the future of IT in the midmarket enterprise, but money will always be a crucial concern for any organization. The Chief Information Officer for Washington’s Suburban Sanitary Commission, Vennard Wright, provides the leadership and guidance that today's firms need when it comes to addressing budget concerns.

According to Wright, though every company has their own unique budgeting process to think about, recurring challenges around remaining within the right price boundaries often remain the same. Whether it's thinking about the expanding scope of project implementations in today's diverse world or dealing with annual maintenance, there are a lot of pitfalls that IT leaders must consider when monitoring an IT budget at scale. This panel discussion should help CIOs discover proven strategies and best practices that will help them to keep their expenses on track.  There will also be lessons on how to negotiate with industry partners and vendors.
