Speaker: Per Dahlberg, CEO, Asia Cloud Computing Association, Hong Kong

12.00     Cloud Computing in Asia Pacific – Architecting For The Future

This presentation will explore key adoption metrics for cloud computing in Asia Pacific. This will give delegates a sense of how other organizations in the region are approaching cloud computing. However, a consistent challenge that Gartner has observed is the challenge of moving from today's largely tactical and opportunistic approach to cloud computing towards a model where it is integrated into the core fabric of the IT operations, if not the organization as a whole. We will explore some of the key issues that need to be considered on this important journey.
