Romneya Coulteri, how it relates to us.
Posted by Philippe Creytens at 20:51 on February 24, 2010
Some companies want to use a non-existing word as their company name and hope that eventually their name becomes a verb.
Examples? Think Google or Twitter and people using phrases like ‘… I googled him…’.
Although we are ambitious in our cloud computing endeavors, we are also quite realistic about the likeliness of a cloud solutions integrator becoming a household name.
Nevertheless we feel our company name does have a story to tell: Romneya Coulteri is a poppy plant that is very hard to grow, but when it does, it proliferates extremely well in the garden.
We feel that this characteristic of the Romneya plant is comparable to our experience with cloud computing adoption: it is not that easy to get traditional companies and organizations (and their IT people) to understand the concept and its possibilities, but when they do, new cloud based projects and ideas seem to proliferate very fast.
