Service providers look to play the cloud game

The Economic Times
Appirio, a specialist player who helps enterprises implement cloud-based solutions, was co-founded by Narinder Singh, who quit his position with enterprise software leader SAP to start the firm. “All our founders came from traditional enterprise software backgrounds from companies such as Borland, WebMethods, SAP and Accenture. Four years ago, we saw a shift happening in the marketplace and felt there was a need for a new type of partner to help enterprises move to the cloud. That’s why we founded Appirio,” said Balakrishna Narasimhan, senior director, marketing and strategy, Appirio.
