The Cloud Buyer’s Guide, from the TechAmerica Foundation

Join us on Wednesday, June 25th at 10:30am for a review and analysis of TechAmerica Foundation’s Cloud Buyer’s Guide. Providing their thoughts and insights will be two very special guests, Keith Trippie and Yogesh Khanna. Together, Keith and Yogesh bring significant industry and federal cloud experience, so participants will enjoy this interactive dialogue and have a chance to ask their own questions.

Federal participants will earn 1 CLP for attending this event. We will also provide information that will assist anyone planning to attend the acquisition hackathon session on June 26th at Amazon Web Service’s Government, Education, and Nonprofits Symposium.

The Open Risk Registry

Our goal is to create a Risk Registry of pitfalls and issues that impact a cloud acquisition. Building a risk registry is pretty simple, but populating it with useful information requires the power of the crowd and input from practitioners who have navigated the acquisition channels.

Check it out and add your contributions – CLPs are available (see the Activity Tracker in the Google Drive).
