Today, software leaders at Calypso, Centric Group, Serena Software, and others are finding that cloud computing has revolutionized the way they build, test, and deploy software, with most users reporting benefits of 75% faster development cycles and 70% lower operating costs. This session will provide specifics on how to match a cloud computing model with a specific workload, and how the use of cloud computing supports agile development practices.
