- ‘Cordial Cloudburst 2009’ 6th-8th October, Putten, The Netherlands -

Cordys, a leading provider of software for business process innovation, is bringing together a selection of renowned thinkers, Cloud Computing strategists and customers for a three-day user conference aimed at business and IT leaders.

Now in its 6th year, Cordial 2009 is an exclusive forum for leading Cloud strategy thinkers, systems implementers and users from around the globe. This year’s conference will feature presentations, use cases, debates and interactive workshops from leading industry speakers as they explore how the Cloud enables true business agility, driving innovation through effective customer centric processes and revolutionising the way that organisations operate.

Jan Baan, Founder and CEO of Cordys said: “The flexibility and potential cost savings of using the Cloud is already fuelling adoption across the board.
