Infosys, in partnership with UBM TechWeb, unveils Cloud Ecosystem, a global community to ease enterprise cloud adoption
BANGALORE, India and NEW YORK, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys, a global leader in consulting and technology, recently unveiled cloudecosystem.com, a worldwide community for enterprise leaders to accelerate successful cloud adoption. Bringing together thought leaders from cloud, application, and service providers, along with experts from enterprises, this site offers a forum to facilitate discussions around industry issues and share best-practices for cloud adoption. Blogs, expert chat, and interactive polls on cloudecosystem.com are making the community the preferred virtual destination for enterprises to validate their cloud journeys.
Weekly polls on cloudecosystem.com are guiding decision-makers with insights to leverage their cloud investments. A recent poll on big-data revealed that over 46 percent of respondents find the best use of big-data in the cloud for "social networking analysis".
According toVishnu Bhat, Vice-President and Global Head - Cloud, Infosys: "As organizations navigate their cloud journey, they are challenged to manage its enormous complexities and yet leverage the cloud's true potential to drive efficiencies and growth. A forum like cloudecosystem.com, rich with insights-on-demand, is our endeavor to demystify what it takes for businesses to build their cloud-enabled enterprises of tomorrow."
Cloudecosystem.com is set up in collaboration with UBM TechWeb, a global leader in technology media and professional business information. Editor-in-Chief Rodney Brown states, "The launch of cloudecosystem.com has been enthusiastically received by the IT community, and we are very pleased with how engaged our community members are. Our goal is to become the definitive must-visit site for cloud computing information and analysis. This wonderful early traction confirms that we are progressing on the right path."
