Summary

This is a morning workshop for IT practitioners and IT decision makers that want to get an in-depth understanding of the capabilities available in Microsoft Azure and how they could be used to run some or all of your production systems.
The session will be introduced by Paul Bolt, SMB Director at Microsoft, who has a lot of direct experience of both Azure and competitor solutions and gives a good perspective. Richard Ellis, CEO of InsightNow, will give a customer view. InsightNow migrated their entire production workload onto Azure more than a year ago, and Richard will talk about the experience and the new opportunities it has given them. The workshop content will be delivered by an Azure architect, and will feature live demonstrations as well as the opportunity to ask questions specific to your environment.
