For the last year and a half, I’ve been acting as 2nd Wind’s outsourced CIO / CTO. I’ve been working closely with their CFO, Tom Kelly, and the rest of the management team to develop and implement an aggressive SaaS strategy. The plan was to identify and migrate applications and infrastructure to the cloud in an effort to raise functionality while lowering overall IT expenditures. Over time we began calling this Operation Serverless. We knew we’d never actually get all servers pushed into the cloud but the simplification plan was crucial to 2nd Wind’s continued success.
