Navatar Group Force.com Whitepaper “The Dos and Don’ts of the
Transition to Cloud Computing” Selected for CloudFutures
Software Vendor SaaS Migration Conference
NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Navatar Group, a global cloud
service provider and longtime salesforce.com partner, today announced that
their acclaimed whitepaper “The Dos and Don’ts of the Transition to Cloud
Computing” will be distributed to all attendees of CloudFutures Software
Vendor SaaS Migration Conference 2009.
The whitepaper author is top Cloud Computing expert Alok Misra, Navatar
Group Principal and Co-Founder. It provides a roadmap for On Premise
Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) looking to migrate to a public cloud
using Force.com, salesforce.com’s Platform as a Service (PaaS).
It establishes why ISVs, to be profitable, need to plan their cloud
migration as a business transformation, as opposed to a technical product
migration exercise. It highlights the challenges ISVs face and examines the
most common missteps during various stages and areas of this transformation.
The cloud computing whitepaper also outlines strategies for success,
including advice from companies such as Thomson Reuters and CODA. It is a
result of several years of success that Navatar Group has had building and
selling commercial products on the Force.com platform. The whitepaper can be
downloaded free at http://navatargroup.com/WhitePaper.html.
“The Cloud Computing whitepaper from Navatar Group is a must-read for
software vendors looking to migrate to Force.com,” said Ravi Virpal,
Director, CloudFutures. “We are delighted to make it available to all
attendees of CloudFutures.”
“It is easier to build a Cloud product than it is to make money on one.
Building a successful cloud business requires much more than just developing
an application,” said Alok Misra, Principal, Navatar Group.
“Our whitepaper and our services are designed to help you figure out the
intricacies of the cloud business model upfront so you can plan the best
migration approach that makes commercial sense.”
The CloudFutures Software Vendor SaaS Migration Conference is the only place
for traditional software vendors from a variety of verticals including CRM,
Accounting, Human Resource Software and more — come together to understand
how to get their products onto the cloud and compete with the rapidly
expanding Software-as-a-service market (SaaS).
