NEBBA Dinner Meeting

September 1, 2010

Has been CANCELED - it will
be rescheduled!!
 
"Moving Brokerage Information Technology to the Cloud"
A Case Study
 
Speakers - Michael F. Coyle, CenterPoint Business Advisors, Inc.
and
John D. Hamrick, Hamrick Consulting

The cloud.  What is all this talk about the cloud?  Simply put, the cloud is what businesses of all sizes have been patiently waiting for for years.  Facilitated by extremely powerful and inexpensive servers and the wide proliferation of inexpensive high speed internet, the cloud is providing incredible opportunities for those who have become slaves to the never ending cycle of obsolescence that technology platforms have become.

During this session, Michael describes his journey from a typical server based IT configuration to a 100% cloud based environment.  While the technologies will be discussed, the emphasis will be on some of the more strategic attributes of the conversation, including:

  • The differences between server based and cloud based applications
  • Moving to a world class CRM platform (Salesforce.com)
  • Integrating cloud based document processing, collaboration and file storage
  • Mobile computing and standardized access platforms
  • The scalability, portability, and flexibility of cloud-based platforms to improve the way brokerage and advisory firms operate
