Presentation:
Cloud Applications give organizations the capabilities to work from anywhere. In the current environment, businesses are rethinking their IT strategy to allow for increased flexibility and enhanced support from their on-premise applications. In this session, Elire will help walk through the lifecycle of moving onto Oracle cloud, showcasing critical milestones required and key considerations for a successful transition. We’ll focus on finding ways to promote global ownership, collaboration, and communication from your organization while learning how to utilize the advantages a cloud solution can bring.

While this presentation looks as a specific ERP (Oracle) the information provided does translate well to other platforms.
