The digital marketing space is always changing, and it takes someone in the trenches to make the strategic decisions that will influence a company’s trajectory. From OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015, John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, sat down with Lisa-Marie Namphy, HP Helion & OpenStack Solutions Marketing Manager at HP Enterprise, to ask what she is hearing from the inside.

What are people ready for?

One of the top trends is that people are ready to get into production and move their ideas into final form. As Namphy put it, “People are ready to move on; they are ready to do cool things with their infrastructure;, they are ready to go up the stack and that path layer is coming up more and more.”  HP is presenting its customers with the solutions they need to move their ideas into the next phases of development.

How does this affect development?

This shift applies to people at every level of development, and the shift changes the conversation from trying to figure out what the Cloud can do to how the Cloud will be used.  “I think that people are ready to talk to the application developers, to do the fun things with the Cloud: What are you going to do? What are you going to build? How is it going to help you? What fun apps are you going to build? I think that is definitely where the conversation is going,” said Namphy.
