When asked, why Crotty decided to pursue entrepreneurialism after a successful corporate careers he responds with a simple retort “to make our customers leaders in their segment and ensure that technology delivers on its potential”. When pushed further, he explained the “overselling, unfulfilled vendor promises that the IT industry is ripe with, has led to a global corporate sector believing that IT inhibits growth and is an impediment to success rather than an enabler of it”.
Early stage companies can face challenges and when asked about this Crotty said that whilst they are now in their 7th year with a demonstrable track record, life as an entrepreneur is not without challenge. “I underestimated how difficult it was going to be. There is no level playing field, there is a challenge around relevance and some IT decision makers would rather maintain status quo, despite their investments being in such a dire state, than work with a partner who will catalyse positive change.”
Despite these challenges, Crotty states that smart leaders understand the challenges legacy partnership have created and are embracing disruptive leaders like CloudFX to lead their transformation into the world of Cloud enablement. He summarises by saying, “our vision will be realised and our company’s ambition, capabilities, value’s and core areas of expertise have never been as compelling as they are today.”
