Honolulu, HI, May 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The CIO Government Summit team announced today that Microsoft will be represented at the upcoming government IT event and plans to participate in the panel discussion, “Head in the Cloud?” The CIO Government Summit is a premiere educational event for CIOs and Senior IT executives in the government sector. In addition to panel discussions, the event also includes case studies sessions, keynote presentations and executive thought-leadership sessions on the latest technology trends.

Stan Freck, Director of Cloud Computing for the U.S. Public Sector at Microsoft, will be attending the upcoming event, which will be held May 23-26, 2010. Freck will participate in the “Head in the Cloud?” panel discussion, which will explore various aspects of cloud computing and SaaS: the economic and operational advantages, the differences between internal and client facing applications, security considerations, IT infrastructure elements and processes, and management best practices.

“Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing technology trends that we’ve seen in the government sector in a long time. However, IT executives have to weigh the cost benefits along with the possible security concerns. Stan Freck is sure to bring a lot of insight and innovative ideas to the panel discussion as Microsoft is a leader in cloud computing technology,” said Mark Southam, Event Director, CIO Government Summit.

The CIO Government Summit will be held at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale, AZ, a business-oriented but relaxed atmosphere that will allow attending CIOs and IT executives to have pertinent discussions on the technology issues that they are currently facing within their city, state and local governments.
