Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) July 18, 2014 -- CloudOne (http://www.oncloudone.com), an IBM Premier Business Partner and the world leader in cloud delivery of IBM Software-as-a-Service, is one of 27 companies from 12 Indiana counties that have earned a place in Indiana’s seventh annual class of ‘Companies to Watch’ program.
“We are honored to be included in such a stellar group of high-performing companies in our state. When a small company such as CloudOne can bring a major enterprise software company like IBM into the SaaS era, and simultaneously be entrusted by some of the world’s best companies to deliver critical business functions from the cloud it is due in large part to the support and guidance we have received from Indiana’s technology community and business sector as a whole,” said John McDonald, CEO of CloudOne.
Presented by the Indiana Office of Small Business and Entrepreneurship (OSBE), its Indiana Small Business Development Center, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), and endorsed by the Edward Lowe Foundation, ‘Indiana Companies to Watch’ recognizes privately held Indiana businesses that have experienced exceptional growth and well positioned for future growth.
