CATS 531: Cloud 101  – This workshop is a primer for anyone trying to make sense of this next wave. While it contains some aspects of technology the workshop is first and foremost driven from a business perspective. Hence, we open with seven clear business models backed by numerous case studies. The course is designed for technology professionals with an interest in understanding economics as well as for the business professional that needs to develop a basic vocabulary. In that light we introduce a five-layer cloud services stack to educate you on many of the emerging cloud services.
