This was the 3rd Executive Cloud Forum organised by
CCSIG, being held in Cyberport, the Arcade, Ocean View
Court. The Forum consists of two sessions (morning &
afternoon), being separated by the Executive luncheon
held in the Le-Meridien Hotel for about 70 VIP guests.
The forum was kick-started by the Chairman of Cloud
Computing SIG–Mr. Dennis Lee and the co-organiser Mr.
Herman Lam (CEO of Hong Kong Cyberport Management
Co. Ltd.) welcomed the audience and honourable guests
& speakers. Mr. Lee began with an explanation about
the theme – Value Creation & Business Transformation,
and elaborated many companies nowadays after
migrating the core-systems onto the Cloud, chained-
up the partners to provide IT Services on the Cloud,
gradually becoming an IT Vendor, and making business
values to their own organisation. It was expanded or
transformed to other kinds of businesses. One example
is the Amazon originated from online bookstore & now
the Cloud Service Provider; whose Head of Asia Pacific
Operations has also come to be a panellist in the forum.
On the other hand, Mr. Lam claimed that Cyberport is
the first one to build a community Cloud platform to
support all the tenants of Cyberport to work closely
with CSPs such as AWS & MS Azure. He added some
incubates of Cyberport like GogoVAN & EventXtra –
who have adopted the SaaS solution, also expanding
business to Asia as well. Because of the Cloud solutions,
most start-ups could have leveraged themselves to
create disruptive ideas in the market.
Followed the welcome speeches, the honourable guests

Mr. Daniel Lai, BBS, JP (Government Chief Information
Officer, the Government of the HKSAR), Mr. Michael
