CloudBlue Innovators Virtual Forum invites companies to gain valuable cloud industry insights

SaaS companies around the world are invited to attend the CloudBlue Innovators Virtual Forum, a conference of cloud industry experts. 

CloudBlue, a leading cloud digital technology and services company, will hold its annual Innovators Forum fully virtual for the first time in its 15-year history, opening up insightful sessions with cloud industry experts to the global public for the first time. 

Experts from companies like Microsoft, Travelocity and Kayak, Forrester and CloudBlue’s parent company, Ingram Micro Cloud, will present during the three day event which begins on 12 October.

With the Indian cloud-based software market growing 1.5 times faster than its global counterparts, the country’s SaaS market is projected to hit $3.5 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2020. Boosted by COVID-19 restrictions that have forced companies to move employees and operations to fully remote, cloud software companies around the world have seen their stock prices shoot up 48% from February to September. 

The rapid digital transformation of business that COVID-19 forced will be discussed during sessions at the event, along with next steps companies must take to prepare for the future of the cloud industry. 

“Innovation is driven by discovering solutions in the face of great challenges, and this year’s Innovators Virtual Forum is an ideal way to reimagine and reshape the concept of an industry event,” said Tarik Faouzi, vice president of CloudBlue. “As the leading cloud digital technology and services company, CloudBlue is excited to once again bring together business leaders and technology innovators to identify the transformative technologies that will help businesses win in the as-a-service economy.”
