AvePoint: Living in a Hybrid World: Compliance and Governance Meet Cloud
Cloud computing today is enterprise software’s version of the buffet: With so many options, where should you begin? Should you go for the whole smorgasbord at once, or pick and choose the menu items that are best for you through offerings such as Office 365? With the ability to use Azure to host SharePoint for infrastructure-as-a-service, organizations have more options than ever at their fingertips. Each option has its advantages – as well as risks. No matter where your SharePoint environment and content resides – governance and compliance concerns such as privacy and information security must be addressed. In this presentation, we’ll provide a blueprint for successfully navigating which deployment option is best suited to house your Microsoft SharePoint infrastructure based on governance and compliance considerations – whether “all in”, hybrid, or on premises, including:
•Review of the Business Case: Why does the cloud make sense?
•Governance Considerations: When does the cloud make sense?
•Information Management Considerations: Which content is cloud appropriate?
•Change Management: How can we alter today’s plans to realize tomorrow’s opportunities?
•Real World Implementations: How large, financial institutions have implemented compliance and governance across their enterprise
