Cloud Computing Showplace

Welcome to the Cloud Computing Showplace!

Cloud Computing solutions -- including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) alternatives -- are radically changing the way organizations acquire and utilize business applications and other computing resources, and how hardware and software vendors develop, deliver, package, price, sell, and support these solutions. Click here to read our predictions for what lies ahead in 2012 for the Cloud marketplace, and here to read many more insights about the rapidly evolving Cloud movement.

 

The purpose of the Cloud Computing ShowplaceSM is to help:

 

  • IT/business decision-makers find the right Cloud Computing solutions to meet their corporate needs; 
  • Cloud Computing solution providers promote their offerings and succeed in this highly competitive industry;
  • Others better understand the realities of this rapidly evolving 'on-demand' services marketplace.

 

This Showplace is administered by THINKstrategies, an independent strategic consulting company committed to helping its clients capitalize on the unprecedented business opportunities created by today's exciting, new Cloud Computing capabilities. The Cloud Computing Showplace represents the merging of two previous online directories and best practice resource centers created by THINKstrategies in 2006 -- the SaaS and Managed Services Showplaces.

 

The Cloud Showplace includes the largest number of Cloud solutions listed across over ninety (90) Service and Industry categories. Check the real-time tally and list of the latest companies to add their names and solution information below. 

 

We are also proud to have over 15,000 subscribers on our newsletter mailing list and over 2000 more people following us on Twitter.
