One-day technical workshops will offer proven approaches for evolving into a connected business using an open source strategy and cloud services leveraging IaaS and PaaS
Palo Alto, CA – March 20, 2014 – Enterprises that adopt today’s leading technologies and best practices gain a competitive advantage by attracting and serving their customers with greater reach, efficiency and insight.
