A network's value to a business adds up to more than the cost of the individual components that comprise it. Similarly, the perspectives that inform a company's decisions about the future of its network infrastructure are far more valuable when they reflect financial, technical, and operational considerations in combination, rather than in isolation. 

During this Webcast, we discussed how finance leaders can collaborate with their counterparts in IT to establish and sustain a fast, secure, reliable network infrastructure that will optimize performance and reduce lag when working with cloud-based applications.

Hear from Rick Reuth, Principal, Finance Transformation, The Hackett Group & Mike Spires, Principal, Technology Transformation Practice Leader, The Hackett Group as they navigate the most pressing topics on the cloud, with more than 50 years of combined experience!

Discussion topics include:

• Why companies are looking to transition from on-premise to cloud-based applications, and the kind of network infrastructure best suited for that work
• How to determine which types of processes make the most sense to move to the cloud
• How finance and IT executives can work together to mitigate risks, while evaluating scalability and total cost of ownership, over the short and longer term
• What a CFO can learn from a CIO -- and vice versa -- about what investments and resources are necessary to maintain the reliability and security of a cloud-based business
