Turning Shadow IT Into Competitive Advantage

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Robert Cathey

What if you could deploy public cloud capabilities behind the firewall and transform shadow IT from a governance headache into an IT innovation driver? 

That’s the subject of a webinar that Cloudscaling and RedMonk will deliver on March 7.   
Elastic cloud infrastructure delivers a practical solution to the challenges faced by both CIOs and line of business users in today’s social-mobile-big-data world.

Matt Asay, writing for Read Write Cloud, cites research showing that 88% of the 300 IT professionals surveyed believe that some of their data hosted in the cloud could be lost, corrupted or accessed by unauthorized individuals. So, giving internal users the agility of elastic cloud with the security of on-premise infrastructure is critical.

On March 7, RedMonk Analyst Stephen O’Grady and Cloudscaling CEO Michael Grant will discuss what’s driving shadow IT and how to harness it for competitive advantage. 

Join this one hour webinar to gain insight into: 

• The business and technical drivers behind shadow IT 
• Strategies and approaches to transform shadow IT into managed innovation
• What Cloudscaling’s elastic cloud infrastructure can do for your business
