Presentation: The Impact of the Cloud on Programming Models

Cloud computing promises a path to higher efficiency, agility, quality, security, governance, standardization and time to value in the delivery, consumption and operation of IT services, all at reduced capital and operational expense. The massive potential of Cloud computing is, however, easily matched by the challenge and effort to transform traditional IT over to a Cloud model.

However, there is no one-size-fits-all Cloud, and it is up to each business to decide how much change is tolerable and decide how far into the Cloud to step. Adoption of Cloud is a personal journey that no two businesses will undertake in exactly the same way. Wherever a business may land on the Cloud spectrum, there are benefits to be had.
