About the Seminar

Continuing economic uncertainty and unforeseen business conditions require operational flexibility to support growth, whether organic or via acquisition, while enabling innovation. The cloud provides the infrastructure and pay-as-you-go consumption model to contend with — and thrive under — today’s fast-changing business environment.

Cloud Computing is a key model that could change the way people access services and computing resources. Cloud computing enables rapid provisioning with minimal management efforts of measured, monitored and metered services.

Cloud-powered wearable technology will form an integral part of the ‘Internet of Things’ – a growing network of devices – from wearable tech and smartphones to road traffic sensors – that connect to the Internet to share data in real time.
