The level of collaboration between people involved in the chain of providing healthcare is enhanced by the cloud in ways that have only recently become possible.Choose based on value. The price tag for moving to the cloud is real, but the benefits are too substantial to pass up - and there are hacks  to adapt your strategy to align with your budget.Be brave. The ROI for innovation pays back with interest, but you need the courage to make a case for all your various stakeholders.More About Jon:Jon Osborn is a Software Technology Executive and the former SVP, Chief Technical and Data Officer at Ensemble Health Partners, with a proven ability at the executive level to build technical organizations, direct and manage technical projects and architecture, manage agile software development teams, and work with business owners to deliver value and modernize technology.More About Todd:Todd Crosslin is the Global Head of Healthcare and Life Sciences at Snowflake, with a history of success in start-up and high-growth/complex environments.
