Next to hands-on IT service management practice he is consulting firms on restructuring and making IT operations turn in to a real business benefit, instead of a cost center.

Who Is The Cloud Challenge For? Cloud Challenge is available to everyone; however, it was designed to complement the Virtualization and Cloud Computing competence development portfolio created by ITpreneurs.
