Abstract
> Governance, COBIT and the Cloud a match made in the sky!
As IT professionals it is not enough to align with the business
we must integrate IT with the business whilst predicting
demand and then balancing the scarce resources to ensure
that we deliver to correct level of service and at the correct
time and the appropriate cost and meeting all government
regulations. As IT professionals we much balance the
emerging technological advances in virtualization, SaaS and
Cloud computing, the proliferation of network connected
devices and the ever increasing rate of IT enabled business
change. Robert Stroud, ISACA International Vice President
and internationally recognized Governance and Service
Management evangelist will share his thoughts on the
requirements for the future of Governance and COBIT in the
Cloud to empower you and your business.
