My presentation on behalf of the Cloud Industry Forum at Cloud Expo Europe 2014 - setting the scene on why service providers need CIF certification, and how it helps buyers pick and choose between a good provider and a bad provider. The intro explains that we are at the most exciting but disruptive time in IT for over 50 years with the shift to cloud, social and mobile happening simultaneously - we've never had 3 shifts at once before!

From a business point of view, achieving certification is a case of us practicing what we preach. You can’t go out in the marketplace and encourage best practice, if you’re not adhering to industry standards yourself,” Piers Linney, co-CEO of Outsourcery.
