Frost & Sullivan analysts now took this opportunity to discuss this timely subject on cloud computing, particularly SaaS/BSaaS with him.
Frost & Sullivan Analyst: For the benefit of those who are not familiar with CommGate, could you tell us more about this company?
Moonshi: CommGate started its operations in 2005 after my previous IT venture turned into a failure with many learning experiences. CommGate is a company I started with the remaining $3000 left in my bank account. I have a vision of "creating prosperity for humanity through thriving businesses globally". With these in mind, through CommGate I delivered this vision wheremy team helps SMBs to be successful, sustainable and profitable using a four-prong strategy based on People, Processes, Systems and Technologies. With a sustainable business model, I am able to create a systematic growth with regional expansion plans, which in turn would create more jobs, and by helping more SMBs to succeed, my team can directly contribute in helping to reduce and possibly eliminate poverty.
