Chief Technology Officer Sagi Brody to Speak on Managing Remote Operations Teams November 5 in Santa Clara, CA
NEW YORK, NY, October 20, 2015 – Opti9, a leading provider of Cloud Hosting, Colocation and Managed solutions, today announces that its Chief Technology Officer, Sagi Brody, will speak at Cloud Expo 2015 Silicon Valley, to be held November 3-5, 2015 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. Cloud Expo 2015 Silicon Valley is a world-class conference that brings together thought-leaders and cutting edge practitioners in the cloud / utility computing, Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), DevOps and Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) space, which, in addition to prestigious industry keynotes and informative general sessions and panels, features an exhibition floor of 100-plus vendors.
Mr. Brody will give a presentation titled “Managing Remote Operations Teams” on November 5 at 8:30 AM, which will illuminate the strategies and best practices of effective corporate leadership of virtual operations teams. Organizations, especially enterprises, opt to use virtual teams in dispersed geographic locations because business is taking on a more global focus. As collaborative platforms continuously become more technologically advanced and ubiquitous connectivity has become the norm, utilization of remote teams has become increasingly accepted across diverse industry sectors.
A recent survey of business leaders at the Global Leadership Summit 2015 in London found that 34% reported that more than half their company’s full-time workforce would be working remotely by 2020, and 25% said more than three-quarters would not work in a traditional office by 2020. Brody’s presentation, by leveraging real-world examples and case studies, will elucidate successful strategies and management principles that will assist senior executives to effectively deploy virtualized teams, including training and integration of these teams into the overall corporate structure, screening of remote personnel candidates, and customer relations.
“As global business expansion, augmented by technology, subverts the traditional limitations of international borders, corporate culture, physical space and time zones, Opti9 has become expert in managing virtualized teams from a centralized headquarters,” states Sagi Brody, Chief Technology Officer at Opti9. “From our own experience of managing remote teams in four cities across three continents, we know that employing remote workers increases productivity and broadens the specialized talent pool that companies can access, while saving money that would otherwise be spent on office space and travel. Cloud Expo 2015 is an exceptional opportunity for organizational leaders that are interested in launching or expanding virtual teams to benefit from our knowledge base and lay the foundation for successful business outcomes of remote teams while mitigating the inherent challenges.”
