About this title

Synopsis

Cloud Computing is evolving at a great pace.  Some would say maturing.  Cloud Computing is driving business transformation in corporations, in a way that mirrors the changes in behavior that we’ve already seen in consumers. The era of "any place, any time, anywhere" is being ushered in by stunning, innovative web based applications running on highly scalable infrastructure powered by the IT heavyweights.

However this shift has created a myriad of new options, which has in turn altered the focus of discussions and negotiations both internally and externally.  This book provides you with questions to illuminate the path to the right solutions for you. 

About the Authors

CEO and founder of Elements.cloud based in Salesforce Tower, San Francisco, but can be found speaking at User Groups, World Tours and Dreamforce - or in an airport lounge practicing his bass guitar. Prior to Elements.cloud he was co-founder and CEO of Nimbus - a Salesforce customer from 2001 - which was acquired by TIBCO in 2011. The Nimbus business analysis app was used by 1000+ clients including Nestle, HSBC, SAP, Barclays, Toyota, Sara Lee, AstraZeneca, non-profits and Government. Prior to that he was CIO of the largest UK Government agency, and an Associate Partner at Accenture where he led the Program Management practice. He is an author of 10 books, a prolific blogger with a rare ability to make the complex seem simple which makes him a sought after and entertaining conference speaker. And he is powered by Duracell.

A translator between Directors, CxO's and IT Pros, connecting Digital Transformation to Business Transformation. With over 30 years of business transformation experience, Stephen provides creative and challenging thinking that aligns essential business needs with innovative technology. He has gained experience in executive leadership roles (from startups to multinationals), working closely with leading software vendors on their global cloud strategy, providing associate services to industry analysts, sharing knowledge as a keynote speaker and university lecturer, offering independent consulting services and writing a variety of books covering the technology space.
