Tony Berlingeri, Business Development Manager, has been with Cisco Systems for almost 12 years, recently moving to the Cisco State/Local government and Education team to drive Cisco's Cloud Computing Strategy. His charter is to understand customer business requirements to develop best a Cloud Computing roadmap determining why Cloud, why now, as well as what Cloud services and in what order as we see State and Local government entities moving to a Cloud model--both to achieve operational efficiencies as well as to deliver business value and new services to their internal constituencies. This includes the development and alignment of Private, Public, and Hybrid Cloud Solutions.
 
Mr. Berlingeri brings 5-6 years of experience and best practices working with Cisco's Worldwide Service Provider customers from all segments, who have transformed to Cloud Providers. He takes a pragmatic approach to creating Cloud solutions, which includes the internal messaging and marketing, as well as current budget changes as States and Local government agencies move to this model.
