ShareGate is announcing that on May 7, 2020, it will host Deploy, a full-day, virtual event aimed at helping cloud professionals better understand and implement Microsoft Azure governance best practices. 

Led by nine of the industry’s top experts on managing Azure tools and services, each of Deploy’s sessions will explore different facets of Azure governance to help cloud professionals keep their Azure environment organized and efficient. Speakers will offer insights and advice based on their professional experiences with each talk to be capped with an interactive Q&A session where attendees can bring their questions directly to the experts.

“We know that when the Azure community is able to come together and exchange ideas, the more we benefit as a whole. We want Deploy to be a launchpad for collaboration and learning,” says Deploy organizer Frederic Marcoux. “Attendees will be able get advice from our expert speakers, ask them questions during the sessions, and then we expect we’ll see the conversations continue on social media.”

Expert-led anticipation

Registrants and speakers alike are looking forward to this opportunity to develop their Azure governance knowledge and connections.  

Jussi Roine, Azure Developer Audience Lead at Microsoft and a speaker at Deploy, is excited to be participating in the event. “Deploy is a unique new online event, in that it focuses on one of the often-overlooked aspects of the cloud, increasing the efficiency of your cloud investments through governance.”

“Being proactive and having the desire to continuously improve processes and the technology we use are marvelous instincts for individuals and organizations,” says Azure MVP and Deploy speaker Stephane Lapointe. “I think this event will help Azure users embrace modern control and deployment approaches to be successful with Microsoft Azure”
