SUMMARY:Tech Connect: Innovation and Technology Council Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Tech Connect\n\nInnovation and Technology (IT) Council Meetup\n\n\n\nMove to the Cloud Without the Costly Mistakes\n\nThe cloud promises lower costs\, greater flexibility\, and a competitive edge  but for many businesses\, the reality looks more like surprise invoices\, security gaps\, and migrations that cost more than expected.\n\n\n\nThis month's Tech Connect brings experts from CloudNova Technologies to give you the straight talk. They will walk through the most common and often most expensive - mistakes businesses make when moving to the cloud. \n\n\n\nWhether your data is still on-premise\, mid-migration\, or already in the cloud and wondering why bills keep climbing\, this session is built for you.\n\n\n\nThey will cover:\n\n\n	"Lift and shift" trap that turns old problems into cloud-sized ones\n	Governance gaps that quietly drain budgets\n	Hidden data egress fees nobody warns you about\n	Misunderstanding of the Shared Responsibility Model\n\n\n\n\nNo jargon. No sales pitch. Just the insights you need to make smarter decisions.\n\nCome ready to ask questions. Leave ready to act.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\nBary Azmi is a serial entrepreneur and executive leader with more than 35 years of experience building and scaling innovative software solutions. He is the Founder and CEO of CloudNova Technologies\, a software development company delivering a no-code SaaS platform that helps organizations monitor\, secure\, and optimize their Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments.

With a track record of founding and leading multiple successful technology companies\, Bary brings practical insights and real-world experience to the challenges of cloud strategy\, migration\, and governance.\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe mission of the IT Council is to educate\, celebrate\, and connect around the local businesses who are leading advancements in innovation practices and services that enrich our local business community.
