About this Event
You made the smart decision. You moved to cloud.
Now here is the question nobody has sat down and answered for you: is the platform you chose still the smartest decision you can make today?
Most organisations that moved to cloud in Nigeria did it on the basis of what was available, what their IT team recommended at the time, or what a vendor made easiest. Very few did it after a formal, independent cost comparison. Even fewer have had one done since. The result is that thousands of Lagos businesses are paying cloud bills every month on platforms that may be costing them significantly more than they need to be spending, without any benchmarked data to confirm or challenge that assumption.
That assumption is the most expensive thing in your technology budget.
Here is what makes it worse: the FX exposure. If you are on Azure, Google Cloud, or any other platform billing in US dollars, every naira depreciation is a silent cost increase you did not approve, did not budget for, and cannot control. It is built into your invoice every single month. And most businesses running on cloud in Nigeria have simply accepted it as the cost of doing business in the cloud.
It does not have to be.
The Cloud Forward Executive Breakfast - Day 2 is a private, invitation-only session hosted by Cecure Intelligence Limited, one of a very small number of Cloud Platform Advanced Consulting Partners in Nigeria. It is a structured three-hour working breakfast for 25 senior technology and finance decision-makers whose organisations are on cloud and want an honest, expert-led look at whether they are getting the full value their spend should be delivering.
This is not a lecture. It is not a product demo. It is the conversation your current cloud provider has never been incentivised to have with you.
What the morning covers:
The real cost of your current cloud setup and what optimised infrastructure on AWS would look like for your specific organisation. Not a generic comparison. Your environment. Your numbers.
How AWS transformation funding programmes work, what organisations in Nigeria qualify for, and what supported onboarding looks like in practice. Most businesses switching to AWS have no idea this funding exists.
How NGN billing with CIL eliminates dollar FX exposure on cloud costs entirely. Your cloud bill, in naira, stable and predictable. For most Lagos businesses on dollar-billed platforms, this single factor reshapes the financial case completely.
What every attendee receives:
A guided walkthrough of the Optimisation and Licensing Assessment process with CIL's architects. A dedicated 1:1 Executive Briefing covering your specific licensing position and the AWS funding options available to your organisation. No cost to attend. No obligation.
You will leave the morning with a clear, expert-built picture of what your current environment is actually costing, what a better-structured alternative delivers, and what the path looks like. The decision of what to do with that picture remains entirely yours.
