Thought Leaders in Cloud Computing: Steve Singh, CEO of Concur (Part 5)
SM: Interesting vision. Besides these kinds of convergences that you’re predicting, the mobile phone, the wallet and the security key, where else do you point young entrepreneurs or early stage entrepreneurs to look for opportunities?
