Shahzad will join executives from IBM, Intuit (News - Alert) and LevelCloud to discuss this hot topic in “Squeezing Dollars from the Cloud – What’s the ROI?” on Wednesday, October 3 from 11-11:45 a.m in Austin Texas. Cloud4SMB Expo is collocated with ITEXPO, a bi-annual event serving as the world’s largest and best-attended communications and technology tradeshow.

The subject of cloud ROI is critical in today’s industry, seeing how business applications and services are increasing being used on an “as-a-Service” basis from the cloud, which shapes the core of important business operations.

When it comes down to it, most decision makers require evidence of a real ROI model before officially making the move the cloud, even despite knowing the plentiful benefits which the cloud offers. Some of these widely known benefits include instant scalability, increased flexibility, and of course, cost-savings.

This is where CLOUD4SMB Expo comes in.

“To help executives and IT managers quantify the benefits of a cloud strategy, this season will provide real-world use cases that prove real ROI on cloud investments,” a statement explains.

“Today’s IT departments are faced with the dilemma of picking solutions with the least cost, but the highest level of benefits. As companies shift to the cloud in the post-PC era, they reap the benefits of scalability, higher availability, and lower cost,” Shahzad explains in said statement.

“The purpose of this panel is to help attendees understand the base assumption connected with a move to the cloud, how to determine if going virtual is right for their business, and how they can compete and succeed in their industry by utilizing the cloud.”

CLOUD4SMB Expo serves as the first event of its kind focused on the unique and challenging needs that small- to medium-sized businesses face. Additionally, the event offers invaluable industry insight and real-world business strategies for SMBs looking to further leverage the benefits of cloud computing solutions to grow business and gain a competitive advantage.
