One of the most important tools in achieving these goals is the use of cloud computing services to free organizations from old world resource constraints and allow them to operate with the agility they to need to compete with old peers and, more importantly, with young fast moving entries into their markets. In this presentation we'll dive into how enterprises are using cloud services, what the drivers are in each vertical, what the success stories teach us and what lies ahead for IT organizations.

  • The New API: Apps, Partners, Income

    by Adam DuVander

Your company wants to be on any new platform, but probably doesn't have a team that knows every last device. An API can help external development teams to bring your product to that new tablet, smart phone or TV. APIs can also speed up business development, even between startups and larger companies. With an API, partnerships become easier.
