...or at least generally available, especially in the valley. It is said that the bay area is probably the highest concentration of PHD's in the world. Not sure it is an absolute, but it might be pretty close to reality.
What is really hard to find is - smarts and execution. Smart folks who can work with other focused passionate people all aligned in reaching a specific goal, not those seduced with just IQ and ideas. Smart folks that can wear many hats and don't need titles or a staff to get things done.
This is why we are so excited to welcome Scott Metzger to Sonoa. Scott was a founder of TrueCredit, CTO of Transunion Interactive and a Sonoa customer. Smarts and execution. Look forward to his continued impact on the industry and on Sonoa's future.
We're delighted to welcome Sam Ramji to the Sonoa team as VP of Strategy.
Sam joins us from Microsoft, where he drove many of Microsoft's contributions to open source and the company's shift to embrace open source technologies like PHP.
In honor of Sam's first day - Sam and Chet Kapoor, CEO of Sonoa, spent some time discussing the API economy, remixing services, and why the time is now to transform your business with Cloud APIs.
Sonoa's API management solutions ship not only as on-premise (hardware and software) but also as an on-demand service as well. Many of our customers appreciate the time-to-market benefits of getting started with an on-demand or fully managed service, with the added assurance that they can bring the solution on-premise as their needs change.
For our on-demand service, RightScale has helped us accelerate the time in which we can to provision a new Sonoa on-demand customer down to less than a day. It also provides an additional monitoring and management framework that is critical to customer satisfaction.
Another great business benefit - RightScale helps us provide flexibility for a customer to deploy on multiple clouds, such as Amazon EC2.
RightScale has a great product and a super team. Again here is the case study!
