Highlights
00:20 — Bob shares some of the criteria used to determine the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies. Many are under the impression it’s determined by deep algorithms developed by thousands of data scientists, but it’s not quite that way.
00:34 — The big thing, explains Bob, is looking at the market from the point of view of customers.
00:50 — Another piece of the criteria is how much companies are growing. “There’s something about a company showing rapid growth in a very competitive market” which speaks to why customers select one company over another.
Each class segment is followed by the top takeaways for sellers and buyers of cloud technology, delivered by Acceleration Economy co-founder John Siefert.
