Springboard Series Virtual RoundtableWednesday, June 22, 2011 - 9:00 AM Pacific TimeWhy Desktop IT Pros Should Care About the CloudAs an IT pro, you typically look at a three- to five-year cycle when deciding what equipment and technologies will be essential to helping your company continue to grow. Making the right choices can be challenging, especially when you consider the technology on the horizon. The next Springboard Series Virtual Roundtable will look at the relationship between cloud technologies and the desktop. Hosted by Windows IT Pro Community Manager Stephen Rose, who will be joined by Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich and other desktop subject matter experts and customers, this Virtual Roundtable will cover Windows IntuneTM, Windows AzureTM, Microsoft Office 365®, and desktop virtualization. How will these technologies impact the desktop? What is possible between the cloud and the desktop today? What are the steps you can take to quickly scale and manage users and devices without having to invest in a large infrastructure? The panel will tackle these questions and dig into PC management best practices, the challenges of protecting and supporting remote users, and how to provide the latest productivity services to businesses.
