Cloud computing has been hailed for its ability to shift expense from capital to operational budgets. Yet operational decisions are complex and involve many organizational, operational and financial trade-offs.

To help IT organizations better understand the potentially complex issues inherent in transitioning a workload from a traditional IT platform to a private or public cloud environment, IDC is introducing its Cloud Decision Framework Tool - designed to help IT organizations identify the issues and trade-offs inherent in the various IT platform choices.

This webinar will introduce IDC's Cloud Decision Framework, a complimentary service available on IDC.com that is designed to help IT and business executives evaluate the opportunities and constraints associated with hosting a specific workload on a tradition IT platform, in a private cloud or via a public IT cloud provider.

Participants will be encouraged to access the tool after the webinar and will be able to load their own specific projects for subsequent evaluation

Session Speakers:

• Aimee Bartlett - Senior Analyst, IDC Business Value Practice
• Randy Perry - Vice President, IDC Business Value Strategy Practice
• Joe Pucciarelli - Vice President and IT Executive Advisor

Audio replays of this Web conference are available to all registered participants starting the day after the event.
