a16z Podcast: Mapping the Information Economy -- Where’s the Cloud Going Next?
a16z Board Partner Steven Sinofsky and Box CEO and co-founder Aaron Levie discuss findings from a study of the information economy that has been built on cloud and mobile. The findings were based on workflow data collected anonymously from a subset of 25 million users, 225,000 businesses, and five industries (you can see the report here: http://blog.box.com/2014/06/mapping-the-information-economy-a-tale-of-five-industries/). It all amounts to big shifts in enterprise IT. But what are the implications of these findings for everyone’s business ... beyond Silicon Valley and the software industry? And finally -- shared in a live brainstorm at the end -- what’s the future of the cloud?
