The Grill: Qwest's Pieter Poll on why being a CTO is a dream job

12.06.2009

Qwest participates nationwide for business customers and we have invested in awesome nationwide technology that's recognized by the Networx award. IT folks and CIOs are interested in scaling costs and want technologies that help with emerging problems such as security and how to start to deal with that. Also, a lot of folks are struggling with cloud computing.

Qwest is developing a full portfolio. Cloud computing means different things to different customers, but we are very good in reliability and scalability. Obviously if you are five guys running a business in a garage, things that the cloud offers you at a platform or service level are very different from a large company.

I think that people get that, and our revenues show that is a growing business for us, whereas for most competitors, it's not.
