Recently I attended the Cloud Partners Conference in Boston. I was there with two interests: one as a solution provider focused on understanding how to capture more business and identify key providers; the other was as a newly appointed board member to Channel Partners, the conference provider. It was at this conference that I locked horns with some cloud application providers, distribution and other solution providers over a question that I asked.
My question, I thought, was an easy one.Who owns the client in the cloud? I asked the question because there appears to be more people engaged with the client to provide them the solution than there ever has been before.
