In 2021, Bowie decided to adopt a "Cloud First" mantra: If the University can economically move a system, process, or infrastructure to the cloud without adversely impacting the quality of service, then it will. Learn how Bowie's "Cloud-First" approach transformed its business, IT Operations, and Data Analytics. Bowie began its Cloud Transformation by focusing on several critical, high-impact business areas such as Financial Aid, Finance, and Institutional Research. Bowie's efforts to improve each of these critical business areas have created positive impacts for many stakeholders across the University, and it is just the beginning. Join us to learn why Bowie moved forward with a Cloud-First approach, how the University planned its activities and timelines, the benefits the institution is realizing, and what Bowie plans to do next. We will reserve time to address questions.

This session is part of the Decision Making Pathway.
