IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS — what does it all mean? In this primer, participants will gain valuable insight on how the cloud changes everything, from operationalizing services, hosting applications, architecting solutions, and coding software to financing expenditures. Innovation expert Bruce Umpstead will walk up the "stack" and explain how shifting to "as-a-service" models revolutionize school IT. Cloud architect Michael Coats will share his hard-won experience and technical considerations garnered from building the Midwest’s largest K-12 cloud footprint. Gain understanding and start building the business case for cloud adoption so you, too, can capitalize on the cloud. (This workshop is designed to complement the deep-dive, AWS, and Microsoft Azure technical workshops included in the IT workshop track.)
