Some Farewell Thoughts

Back to sunny Pisa (far better running weather) with some final thoughts on the engagement of enterprises in the drive towards standards.

Siada El Ramly, Secretary General of the European Software Association, highlighted how cloud computing has the potential to bring major benefits to ISVs, especially in Europe.
