“Thinking Forward.” Cloud Computing is a now a reality for every business function. It began with the sales function and is now pervasive throughout the whole organisation. This Oracle hosted event is to learn how CIMA are transforming their business, but more importantly how they are driving the process of operational and strategic planning and budgeting forward.

This evening networking event will be an opportunity to meet with forward- thinking organisations from across industries and learn, discuss and question the below key themes:

Decision criteria – why did CIMA decide to adopt the cloud to transform their business
Delivery - how has Frontera Consulting supported CIMA and other organisations move to and adopt cloud computing technology
Technology – why is Oracle leading the industry in the adoption of cloud computing
