Indeed, SaaS technologies are now celebrated as providing new and inventive ways for organizations to perform what might have once seemed simple tasks in a changing international landscape. From fulfilling orders to arranging meetings, SaaS technologies are more important than ever."
"From the start, Metallic's focus has been on filling a gap in the market by delivering a true, enterprise-grade SaaS data protection experience, and this has never been more relevant than it is today in our current economic climate," said Manoj Nair, General Manager, Metallic.
