2. 11:00 - 11:45AM Identifying your own position in the ecosystem: How you address the market challenges depends on whether you are a customer (large or mid-market), systems integrator/service provider or independent software vendor?  Get a deep understanding to the capabilities of different players and how they address rapidly changing market demands. 

3. 11:50AM - 12:20PM  Open standards and open source: Do you take the toll or the toll-free road?  Does it make a difference if solutions are measured by Service Level Agreements between consumers and providers of cloud solutions? The role of open standards is important preventing vendor lock-in while picking a solution.

4. 2:35 - 3:20PM  Economic and budgeting dynamics brought about by cloud computing: Information technology use in the new era will require change in how initiatives are funded and charged back to business units. Cloud delivery of services will require IT financing to review executive considerations while measuring subscription, usage or ad supported business models.  Service providers need to consider to sales commissions, renewals and billing models.

5. 5:40 - 6:25PM Connecting the dots: Connecting the dots in developing your cloud computing strategy: How do you connect your requirements to solution providers?  How do you determine a road map to take advantage of this very nascent technology?
