In less than two weeks – on Tuesday, 31 October – ITWeb will be hosting its annual Cloud & Data Centre Summit, the must-attend gathering of IT infrastructure and cloud technology experts, practitioners, and solution providers.
Attendance is free of charge for IT professionals and decision-makers from end-user organisations that have deployed data centre and cloud solutions, products and services.
Under the theme 'Optimisation as a catalyst to business success', the ITWeb Cloud and Data Summit 2023 has been curated for the African audience, to provide delegates with the latest knowledge, insights and solutions, covering both strategic and technical topics.
ITWeb conference producer Nomvuyo Tena says the economic downturn has forced all organisations to be more cost-conscious, with optimisation being the keyword around IT teams and decision makers. The question is: how can organisations adopt the best technology solutions while prioritising cost, reliability, flexibility, and remaining environmentally conscious?
“The content of this event highlights how optimisation, even in the face of budget constraints, can drive business success,” says Tena.
