Vendors

As the global market for cloud technology and services grows exponentially due to a wide range of associated benefits, adopting cloud technology has become a key strategic focus for organizations across sectors and industries looking to increase and optimize their use of cloud.

Despite these trends, organizations and individuals are often not well-supported during the procurement phase of cloud adoption and lack guidance around how to optimize benefits, both from procurement and the technology itself.

This course provides a practical understanding of how cloud procurement and technology can integrate with and support broader business strategy and functions, regardless of sector, industry, or cloud maturity. It is intended to provide candidates with best practice guidance on how to use the capabilities offered by the cloud to identify and pursue opportunities, manage risks, and achieve desired business outcomes.
