SunGard Availability Services to Highlight the Transformative Benefits of Cloud Computing at the Cloud Leadership Forum
WAYNE, Pa., June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Most enterprises were not built on applications and systems designed to take advantage of the Web technologies that are driving cloud computing's rapid adoption. As a Conference Underwriter at Cloud Leadership Forum, SunGard Availability Services will lead multiple sessions and discussions focusing on using the cloud to help accomplish business goals without having to overhaul critical applications. The sessions will examine how and where enterprise IT can help lower costs and improve efficiency and performance of projects through the proper use of cloud services.
