WPS203: You've Decided to Buy Cloud Services, Now What?

In this session, we look at cloud-ready contracts from around the world. We compare and contrast these contracts through scope identification, end-user eligibility, and primary service offerings (i.e., MSP vs. IaaS resale) to help you determine a contract pathway that meets your mission needs. We discuss considerations for buying cloud services so that end users and organizations can extract the full benefits and power of AWS. Join us and gain an understanding of how to approach shared security, utility pricing, data location, innovative services, governance, and terms and conditions for a successful procurement effort.
