Date of Event: Tuesday, May 12th
Time: 1:00 PM EST

TIG's Paul Cooper is hosting a "virtual Meetup" - live panel discussion in coordination with Insight as a Service and contributors (Joe Belinsky, Paul Brugen and Nabeel Yousif ) to the upcoming Whitepaper also being released. You are invited – encouraged, even – to join the session!

Last month, 14 Canadian and US-based thought leaders came together in three Best Practice review calls to contribute to a new report – also entitled When Your Hybrid Cloud Network is Secondary to Your Cloud-First Strategy – that provides unique, valuable guidance to IT and network management professionals who are grapping with ever-expanding demands, options and requirements – issues that have accelerated, tremendously, as organizations of all types become even more network-dependent in response to the Pandemic.

The Virtual Meetup will explore key findings from the report: investment drivers that connect hybrid cloud objectives, hybrid cloud network objectives and business outcomes; key considerations in hybrid cloud network rollouts; six “best practice vectors” that organizations can use to optimize hybrid cloud network benefits; and a set of metrics that network, IT and C-suite executives can use to align hybrid cloud network performance with IT service delivery and organizational business objectives.

The When Your Hybrid Cloud Network is Secondary to Your Cloud-First Strategy is scheduled for May 12th, 1:00-2:00 (EST). The agenda includes:

• 1:00-1:05 Welcome and introduction
• 1:05-1:20 Spotlight presentation - expert perspective on hybrid cloud networks provided by Paul Cooper (Technology Integration Group) 
• 1:20-1:50 Panel discussion on the hybrid cloud network: defining the core of IT service delivery: panelists will include Nabeel Yousif (CISO, goeasy Ltd.), Joe Belinsky (former VP, Technical Services at Moneris) and Paul Brugan (Technical Channel Manager, Riverbed Technology) – all of whom were key contributors to the research report 
• 1:50-2:00 Q&A (note - questions may be included in the panel discussion at any time)

All webinar registrants will be sent a complementary copy of the 26-page When Your Hybrid Cloud Network is Secondary to Your Cloud-First Strategy report prior to the webinar, and will be encouraged to contribute questions which can be added to the discussion as it evolves.
