SoftCo to Host Joint Webcast with Amazon Web Services

On Wednesday 10th March, SoftCo will be hosting a joint webcast with the world’s leading cloud platform provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The webcast, Finance in the Cloud – What Every CFO Needs to Know, will be hosted by SoftCo’s SVP Pre-Sales, Garret Pearse, along with Director of AWS Enterprise Strategy, Mark Schwartz.

According to a recent report by EY, there is a growing awareness amongst CFOs that cloud computing is the environment in which digital transformation must take place. It is therefore imperative that all CFOs fully understand what cloud computing is, the benefits it can bring to the Finance function and key questions to ask in order to avoid any pitfalls.

During this webcast, Garret and Mark will discuss the rise in popularity of cloud technology and will also address the key questions relating to cloud adoption that every CFO should be asking around topics such as cost, security, integration and IT effort.
