Software vendors got to the point that as-a-service is not just hype but new opportunities for their businesses. That’s why currently we increasingly frequently hear about launching Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS). The transition is in active phase but many ISVs are struggling with technical blockers or lack of expertise on their way to the desired outcome. In this presentation, you'll find out how cloud hosting service providers can ease the transformation for software vendors, thus attracting ISVs as potential clients, building value in own services, and ultimately customer retention.

Service Providers have a hard time preventing
customers from moving to top clouds:

propositions and it’s difficult to overcome
them
● OpenStack and Open Source are too
complex and require time on platform
development instead of focusing on
business

Resizing of the same container on the fly is easier, cheaper and faster
