In cooperation with Microsoft and the Microsoft Regional Directors program (www.msrd.io) I'm going to be hosting & presenting a "Road to the Cloud" session and networking event October 28th (1:00pm-6:30pm) at the Raleigh / Durham Microsoft offices.
Event Overview
The Road to the Cloud is a series of global events led by Microsoft Regional Directors. The event focuses on the tremendous opportunity the new cloud market presents for the business leaders of established ISVs.
Business leaders of independent software vendor organizations (ISVs) face increasing challenges in today’s software market: many companies are now evaluating software as a service to replace their legacy software. The technical challenges are significant, but the business changes are arguably far more challenging.
Join this event to hear about best business practices and lessons learned about the cloud opportunity for a software business. This event is focused on business strategy, and is not a technical learning event.
These events will be held all over the world. Here is a link to the Raleigh event: http://bit.ly/1vv0bl0.

Who Should Attend
You should attend this event (or recommend someone else attend) if you are interested in learning how to capture the strategic opportunity that the new cloud market presents. This opportunity brings not just technical changes, but fundamental shifts to your company’s business model and a platform decision is a key component of that shift.
I look forward to seeing you there!
