Cloud Expo New York Preview: CIO of the NRO to Present June 6

Jill Tummler Singer continues her advocacy and exegesis of Enterprise Cloud Computing

Cloud Expo 2011 New York $500 Savings here!

In the Fall of 2009, while she was Deputy CIO of the Central Intelligence Agency, Jill Tummler Singer shared with attending conference delegates her view that Enterprise Cloud Computing was "The Infrastructure's Ultimate Revenge" - noting it was a faster, better, cheaper, and safer computing environment for the enterprise. Then she wrote about Enterprise Cloud Computing for Cloud Computing Journal, defining it as "a behind-the-firewalls use of commercial, Internet-based cloud technologies specifically focused on one company’s or one business environment’s computing needs."


Jill Tummler Singer speaking at 4th Cloud Expo in Santa Clara, CA - November, 2009.


Now, one year into her promotion to CIO of the National Reconnaissance Office, Singer is coming back to speak for the second time in the International Cloud Expo series. She will be addressing the audience at New York's Jacob Javits Convention Center on whether government organizations and corporations are truly riding a real wave of IT change to the future...or is GovIT caught up in a water spout so far off the shore that no one will feel its impact?

Her session, "Is Enterprise Cloud Computing a Tidal Wave of Change?" will explore the intervening two years since first she spoke and discuss how Enterprise Cloud Computing has responded to mission/business needs by demonstrating IT is faster, better, cheaper, and safer because of Enterprise Cloud Computing.
