I believe the cloud is an engine for liberating businesses from constraints, and that it is only just beginning to show its power, and we are focused on delivering services that our customers aren’t even dreaming of, yet, from new technologies and communications to UK-based platforms.

“We are keen to be a leading figure in CIF and are starting with a bang by unveiling a cloud forum and networking event featuring James Woudhuysen, futurologist and former professor of forecasting and innovation at De Montfort University; Alex Hilton, CEO, Cloud Industry Forum; Clare Barclay, GM (Small, Medium Solutions and Partner Group), Microsoft UK; Jay Epton, director, Symantec; Tim Holman, president, ISSA; and Andy Cotgreave, tech evangelist, Tableau Software – taking place at Level39, Canary Wharf on 26th February.”

With a focus on reliability, security and support, Cobweb is a prime candidate for CIF membership, and we look forward to working with them towards a trusted, accountable and sustainable Cloud ecosystem for the UK.”
