Collaboration, Mobility, and above all Security are driving institutions like Florida State University and the University of West Georgia to migrate to the cloud for their communications requirements. In this session, leaders from these two universities will discuss how these three main factors impacted their decisions around cloud migration, and what you can learn from their experiences. They'll describe the challenges of continuing to support on-premises systems; the security issues that are left un-addressed in a legacy environment; the opportunity to provide true anytime/anywhere service with the cloud; and the cost considerations they've confronted. You'll come away with specific factors you must consider in your own cloud journey, and real-world advice on how best to leverage a cloud-based approach to deliver the service and collaboration that users expect.

Plus, stick around after this half-hour session concludes, and join the Post-Session Networking! The session room will remain open and the speaker will be on hand, along with other attendees, to continue the conversation about what's happening with collaboration in higher education and in your enterprise. Don't miss this opportunity to meet and engage with like-minded peers!
