Yesterday, Saugatuck announced its third annual Cloud Business Summit, which will be held this year on September 25, 2013 at the Westin Times Square in New York City.  

Hewlett Packard this week rolled out its first high-profile product in a “shot” meant to improve the company’s position and role in today’s Cloud-centric IT and business environments. In doing so, the company promised a significant disruption. What Saugatuck sees is recognition by HP that it cannot leave its legacy hardware business behind as it blazes a path toward a Cloud-enabled future.

HP’s Moonshot, formally announced Wednesday as “disruptive innovation” by HP, is a high-powered-yet-energy-efficient rack-style server that HP hopes will become must-have hardware for large data centers, especially those powering Cloud services like SaaS, social networks, analytics, and cloud-based infrastructure.

Saugatuck Technology is pleased to announce that our 2013 Cloud Business Summit will be held on September 25, 2013 at the Westin Times Square in New York City.

Now in its third year, our 2013 event will maintain our tradition of C-level discussion and guidance regarding how midsize and large enterprises in all industries are innovating with, and profiting from, the Cloud – whether it be new types of business, new ways of doing business, or new businesses entirely.

On November 9, 2012, Saugatuck held its 2^nd annual Cloud Business Summit at the Westin Times Square in New York City. As with our inaugural event, this year’s conference brought together large-enterprise CIOs, CTOs and senior business leaders to explore what is possible, what is real, and what is not in the Cloud today.

In Part II of this Featured CIO panel entitled “The Cloud and Business Innovation – Guiding IT and the Enterprise”, Saugatuck’s Bruce Guptill (SVP and Head of Research) leads a panel of distinguished CIOs focusing on key best practices that enterprises have adopted in their transition to the Cloud. The panel also explored what solutions they are and what they are not migrating to the Cloud. Joining Guptill on the panel are Rich Roseman, VP and Corporate CIO at News Corp, Yuvi Kochar, CTO at The Washington Post Company, Greg Buoncontri, EVP and CIO at Pitney Bowes.

In Part I of this Featured CIO panel entitled “The Cloud and Business Innovation – Guiding IT and the Enterprise”, Saugatuck’s Bruce Guptill (SVP and Head of Research) leads a panel of distinguished CIOs focusing on how they are using the Cloud and what is driving adoption – especially in light of the broader shift to the Boundary-free Enterprise™. The panel also talks about the move toward best-of-breed solutions and the trend toward loosely-coupled integration, all of which is changing the roles and responsibilities of enterprise IT and its leaders, and the operations teams that have historically supported IT. Part I of the panel concludes with a discussion about how the Cloud is delivering business results faster, with speed to market a key bellwether benefit. Joining Guptill on the panel are Rich Roseman, VP and Corporate CIO at News Corp, Yuvi Kochar, CTO at The Washington Post Company, Greg Buoncontri, EVP and CIO at Pitney Bowes.
