Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
AMAG Pharmaceuticals' five-person IT team should bottle its secret sauce for a scalable enterprise cloud model. The public company eliminated its data center in 2008 and has since encouraged employees to adopt cloud applications as they see fit and ramped up security to make this possible - resulting in a reduction of over 60% in IT costs and much more productive (and happy) staffers.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Nathan McBride, Vice President of IT and Chief Cloud Architect at AMAG Pharmaceuticals, will explain how enterprises can not only move to the cloud, but create a more productive workforce, sharing the security and infrastructure strategies necessary to do so successfully.
