With news this week of growth of SaaS among financial institutions, a wave of new money coming into cloud and hosting, especially for the US, and booming datacentre investment, no-one can ignore managed services any longer.
The latest agenda for the Managed Services & Hosting Summit 2014 in two week's time shows a diverse group of experts aiming to answer questions for those attending. Registrations are now well over 300 at this strategic-level event in London. At the event, the latest research will be presented, which shows cautious optimism in the industry, but both customers and channel still have plenty of questions, about who to work with, compliance and SLAs, skills, integration with existing systems, and how fast to transition.
Those attending the Managed Services & Hosting Summit 2014 will have the opportunity to learn more about the issues facing Managed Service Providers, other channels and their suppliers as they evolve new business models and relationships to address the customer challenges and opportunities of the 'post-product' era. A strong line-up of speakers is headed by Tiffani Bova (below), VP and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner Research, who will provide the opening keynote. Tiffani's presentation will examine how both technology changes (cloud, consumption and managed services) and new customer demands are forcing technology providers and the broader channel ecosystem to re-examine their sales models.
The sponsors supporting the event now include platinum sponsors: AVG, Datto, GFI Max, Kaseya, NaviSite; gold sponsors Asigra, Avnet, Claranet, CommVault, Dot Hill, Drop Box, GCI, Modern Office, Seagate, Qlogic, Virtual Instruments, Webroot; silver sponsors AppRiver, Aurora Kendrick James, Autotask, eG Innovations, Huawei, Opengear, Riverbed, SolidFire, Techgate, Tintri and Zycko.
