A session that goes step-by-step with the items a data professional needs to consider and include when migrating data solutions to the cloud.

So you’re the data person in your company and you need to look to the sky. Maybe you've been wanting to do it for a while, maybe it's a mandate coming from the top.

Companies don't just need the IDEA that they should move to cloud, but a guide on how-to-do it. This session will not only give you that guide to get you going, but a foundation to take to your bosses to show just how awesome you really are.
