Cloud computing is turning out to be a huge disruptive force. We know at high level that among the Cloud offerings, infrastructure is a commodity. And, when it comes to SaaS, it’s un-differentiated offering in the sense that you may end up sharing the same Application capabilities with your competitors. Through this webcast, we hope to help understand why ‘Platform as a Service’ is that competitive leverage for your enterprise. We will also point out how “Platforms in the cloud” are changing everything in IT landscape. Sophisticated Visual PaaS offerings provide a unified environment that empowers both "hard-core programmers" as well as "citizen developers" to develop business applications. CIOs are seeing PaaS as a viable option to embrace "citizen developers" thereby empowering business to innovate and make the transition from Information Technology to Business Technology. Visual PaaS is going to change everything, again!
