Artificial intelligence software firm C3.ai has hired 35-year technology sector veteran Tod Weber as senior vice president and general manager of its federal systems unit.
Weber will lead the group’s effort to advance enterprise AI offerings in the U.S. federal government and associated markets, C3.ai said Tuesday.
Most recently, Weber was CEO and chairman of Software AG’s subsidiary focused on the federal government and joined through its acquisition of WebMethods in 2007.
C3.ai is founded and led by longtime technology executive Tom Siebel, the CEO. He held the same role at customer relationship management software firm Siebel Systems before its acquisition by Oracle in 2006.
Debunking the myth of cloud repatriation
SHARE
Cloud repatriation is a term often used by technology companies that don’t operate a public cloud. The marketing narrative most typically implies that customers have moved work to the public cloud and, for a variety of reasons – expense, performance, security – are disillusioned with the cloud and as a result are “repatriating” workloads back to their safe, comfy and cost-effective on-premises data center.
Although we have no doubt this does sometimes happen, the data suggest that this is a minor, single-digit phenomenon.
Some have written about the repatriation myth, but in this Breaking Analysis, we’ll share hard data from ETR and other sources that we feel debunks the repatriation narrative as it’s currently being promoted. We’ll also take this opportunity to do our quarterly cloud update and share our latest figures for the Big 4 cloud providers.
