‘The Cloud’, a simple term with so many interpretations. PeopleSoft users considering a move to the cloud have many options. What cloud, what do I move and what value will I get by making the move? This session will provide an executive level view of what cloud options are available for PeopleSoft, things to consider when making the move and what you can expect once you make the move.
We will share perspectives from customers that have made the move, that are currently in the process of moving and that are evaluating if they should move. It is not a one-size-fits-all decision and having realistic expectations is an important first step.

This is not a technical presentation or a step by step guide to the cloud, but is designed to help managers and executives navigate the hype and options when considering a move to the cloud.

Objectives:
•There are several cloud vendors to choose from. This session will give you some things to consider to help you select the best one for your organization.
•In addition to selecting the right vendor, there are other factors to consider when making the move, do I move everything to the cloud or certain environments, and who does what once I am in the cloud? We will help with these questions and more.
