Cloud Computing is all the buzz on Wall Street. While it looks to be a major focus and area of spend for financial institutions this year, it comes with some uncertainty. Firms are still unsure of what Cloud Computing is exactly and how it differs from SaaS. Also in question are other issues such as security, regulation, and who is using it already and in what business areas. Better understanding these issues, however, can pave the way for seeing how Cloud Computing can positively affect your firm including reduced costs and improved overall efficiencies.

Attend Financial Technologies Forum’s Cloud Computing on Wall Street Breakfast Briefing to hear industry experts discuss the current concerns and questions around Cloud Computing. Come find out if Cloud Computing is the right direction for your firm.
