Announcing event on “Emerging Cloud Trends & Leveraging the Cloud API Economy”
TiE Bangalore is hosting an event on emerging Cloud Trends and Leveraging the Cloud API on the February of 8th. YourStory.in is the media partner for the event that will explore how cloud infrastructure has changed the way products and services are delivered to enterprises and consumers alike.
Cloud infrastructure is allowing smart startups to leapfrog their competition by dramatically lowering startup launch costs while it allows high growth organizations effortlessly scale up. Developers/founders are leveraging existing cloud platforms by using simple yet powerful APIs to leverage the platform capability to solve specific customer problems. The benefits of a true cloud based business model (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS) and the API ecosystem will be discussed and the panelists will outline how the world’s leading product teams are leveraging this new model for maximum benefit and for very efficient global distribution. The discussion panel will feature visiting executives from globally successful cloud platform companies who are here to engage with the Indian tech ecosystem and entrepreneurs.
The panel includes:
