How The Cloud Kept Me Sane
(or Drove Me Crazy)
During Phenomenal Growth
*You can’t stop the Cloud, you can only hope to contain it!
Rob Hiltbrand, MS, CISSP
Director of Technology
The Liberty Group
When you talk, you are only
repeating what you already
know. But if you listen, you
may learn something new.
The Dalai Lama
What’s It All About?
• What happens when Management says Yes?
• Workflow
• Continuity of Operations
• Are you a good boss?
Who Am I?
• Not a vendor or industry consultant
• I’m a Technologist working at a traditional
business
• Perspective of a Customer  User of Services
Oh, its not that Liberty?
• What is The Liberty Group?
• What does Liberty do?
• Why has Liberty grown so fast?
