VALLEY VIEW IS BACK THIS WEEK Join us on September 26 for Valley View, our exciting live video show. In addition to an exclusive chat with NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson, and an in-studio interview with CitiGroup CTO Yobie Benjamin, we'll feature our new Elevator Pitch session, a rapid-fire deluge of information about new technology approaches.

One company's elevator pitch we'll be highlighting: Cliqr Technologies.

Cliqr promises businesses a way to migrate enterprise applications to the cloud (with some possible within a day!), and manage those applications security. CEO Gaurav Manglik says that his company's approach doesn't require modifications to applications that tie them to a specific cloud provider, thus also making it easy to migrate applications between clouds, preventing lock in.

Other Elevator Pitches featured: Appthority (Mobile Security), Kontiki (Enterprise Video), Crowdstrike (Enterprise Security), Fusion-io (flash memory for the data center).
