On Tuesday, March 23rd, I will speak to a technology audience in Raleigh, NC at the Data4Decisions Conference about Cloud Monetization and how the next frontier in Cloud computing is not about infrastructure or even jumping on the Cloud, but really driving the home run when it comes to generating revenues over the Cloud.
