Don't get stuck in the cloud: Develop new high-margin offerings, pricing and service levels to get ahead. Wednesday January 18, 2012 TIME: 2:00pm ET/ 11:00am PT If you are like many mid-size and large service providers, you have addressed the first phase in your cloud computing strategy by developing a new service offering using virtualized infrastructure, with some elements of automation built in. While still executing on that objective, it's time to embark on the next phase and create a series of overlay services that will ultimately differentiate you from the competition. These new services will likely revolve around four core requirements: security, automation, orchestration and management. This webinar will focus on the monetization of these services, made possible by the dissolution of traditional constraints and new ways to introduce and manage services. It will feature interactive Q&A with Antonio Piraino and a MSP guest speaker who will describe how they were able to expand their cloud services catalog to drive business growth. Other topics that will be discussed include: How geeks are different from other employees Immediately applicable approaches to geek motivation Why traditional approaches to motivation don't work with geeks And more. Who should attend? Decision makers at mid-size and large MSPs and hosting providers who want to introduce high-margin Cloud or other value-added service offerings without creating management headaches.
