Forrester's SaaS and Cloud Service and Sourcing Workshop

SaaS and cloud technologies continue to gain traction as firms seek to lower costs, improve deployment speed, reduce upgrade headaches, and gain flexibility. Many of these technologies are easily self-provisioned, empowering business users to own the technology selection, administration, and development life cycle in some cases. This creates new opportunities but also new risks for enterprises. Additionally, the landscape of SaaS and cloud providers and related technologies and services is still maturing and continues to evolve at a fast pace. This creates challenges for firms trying to evaluate solutions and plan a long-term strategy.

Who:

• Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals involved in SaaS and cloud technologies at their firms.
• CIOs and staff, directors of IT, project/program managers, and anyone else involved with selecting, approving, prioritizing, and communicating the value and risks of SaaS and cloud technology investments
