The "Down with Barney Press Releases" Episode (Ep. 21)

Turns out there's a lot more to building a strong partner ecosystem that delivers real value to customers than just putting out joint press releases with lovey-dovey language, a.k.a. Barney press releases. Luckily, that's the type of work Pivotal is putting in with partners across the Cloud Foundry ecosystem. In this episode of Pivotal Insights, Dormain and Jeff talk about what it means to put customers first and the importance of a vibrant ecosystem. They also discuss enterprises making the transition to software-driven. As an added bonus, Dormain shares some insights on ancient Roman festivals.
