Please join the virtual March 2023 lunch and learn, organized by the Ottawa-Gatineau and Atlantics branch teams:

Get Your ITSM Head in the Cloud

In many organizations the ITSM function is operating in isolation of technology modernization efforts such as cloud technology initiatives, with seemingly very little in common between these teams with respect to their goals and objectives. In this session, John will describe that this does not have to be the case, and in fact, cloud platform implementations have many of the same objectives that are associated with traditional service management programs.
