Palo Alto, CA – June 11, 2013 – WSO2 today announced that WSO2 Vice President of Technology Evangelism Chris Haddad will lead a workshop at GigaOm Structure 2013, “Achieve Business Agility with Cloud APIs, Cloud-Aware Apps, and Cloud DevOps PaaS.

Achieving Business Agility with Cloud-Enabled Solutions

Increasingly, application development teams are seeking to change the business-IT dynamic by transforming software delivery into an agile, on-demand application environment. In this workshop, Chris will examine how organizations are taking advantage of flexible cloud-native architecture to compose APIs into business-driven, cloud-aware solutions. Additionally, he will explore how to optimize API-first practices, remix cloud services, and accelerate business agility using an enterprise DevOps platform as a service (PaaS).

• Time: 3:40-4:25 p.m. on Wednesday, June 19, 2013
• Location: Conference Room 4, Level 2, Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF

Many of the concepts that Chris will examine in the workshop are introduced in a white paper he recently developed, “The Path to Responsive IT.” The paper can be downloaded at https://wso2.com/whitepapers/the-path-to-responsive-it.
