Cloud Expo NY: Calculating the True Value of Industry-Specific Clouds

Blue Mountain Labs CTO David S. Linthicum to discuss the value of industry-specific clouds

Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!

Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and PaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and health care. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.

The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.

So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI?

In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, David S. Linthicum, Founder and CTO of Blue Mountain Labs, will answer those questions, and others allowing you to make the right decisions around the use of this technology.
