CloudApps, a provider of sustainability and carbon management solutions,
announced on Thursday that Stephen Kelly has joined its board. A senior
industry figure, Kelly is one of the most successful CEOs in the European
technology industry. Kelly's appointment further bolsters CloudApps
management team as it rapidly expands its sales and strategic partnerships.
Most recently, Kelly was CEO of Micro Focus, a UK FTSE-quoted software
company whose fortunes he transformed through both organic growth and seven
acquisitions resulting in a tripling of revenues, a tripling in profits and a

At some point in the past few years SOA apparently became a four-letter word
(as opposed to just a TLA that leaves a bad taste in your mouth) or folks are
simply unwilling – or unable – to recognize the parallels between SOA and
cloud computing .
This is mildly amusing given the heavy emphasis of services in all things now

PaaS after an experience playing around with some data from CrunchBase. He

Confronted with the shock of the new, it’s only natural for large
