Organizations need to address their sustainability goals. I&O Leaders can contribute achieving these sustainability goals through the adoption of cloud technology. The session will help I&O leaders identifying the main topics and questions to ask their cloud providers in order to achieve their environmental sustainability goals.

In this session you will have an opportunity to ask a Gartner analyst about the top 10 mistakes Gartner saw most often while reviewing hundreds of cloud strategy documents.
