“As the concepts behind cloud computing have moved from an academic conversation to an economic reality, it is important to take a scientific approach and constantly refine this based on latest advances in technology and lessons learnt in the field. Trust-IT, through its continued efforts with Cloudscape, are renowned for bringing together the interested parties from all technical constituencies to work on advancing the common knowledge”.

I personally appreciate Trust-IT's skills at proposing innovative solutions with true professionalism, initiating and bringing value-add to co-operation between scientists and stakeholder communities. GRL2020, GRDI2020 and DL.org are excellent examples of this.

The SIENA roadmap has made a number of key recommendations on e-infrastructure to support research in Europe. It has been a great pleasure for me as chair of the roadmap editorial board to work with Trust-IT Services, the SIENA expert groups, and the numerous individuals who contributed to producing the roadmap document.

Advances in research are only one side of the coin. Areas that are rapidly evolving and topics of general interest need to be communicated, broadcast and co-ordinated effectively. BSC has found a very professional and active partner in Trust-IT. We are happy to embark on new projects and joint initiatives with them.

From our very first meeting, I knew Trust-IT was a savvy SME with an international network. This alone makes it an ideal partner. Our work together on cloud security and contractual issues not only calls for specialised knowledge but also excellent communication skills and access to the right audiences. I like the fact Trust-IT has all this and more.

The excellent work of Trust-IT enabled the VENUS-C project to publicise its work to the widest and diverse audience possible. Without their innovation, ideas and dedication, the project would have not achieved the widespread recognition and praise that it did. I look forward to future successful collaborations with them.

Trust-IT possesses a rich experience in dealing with ICT actors and institutions in Europe and Asia. Their range of skills in communication, dissemination and organisation of a broad range of thematic events have brought critical value to several EU-India international cooperation projects in ICT research. Understanding and assimilating a new environment or a new topic and getting operational with the right human resources and skillset, to my mind, are their core strengths.

Our successful synergy in the European VENUS-C project helped demonstrate the simplicity of adopting cloud computing solutions and advantages like cost-effectiveness, reliability, flexibility and ease of use. I would like to thank Trust-IT for its support in communicating results excellently to peers and successfully reaching target communities.

As head of the user community in the VENUS-C project, I would like to express my gratitude to Trust-IT. The team played a key role in the liaison with the user community and the success of the Open Call. The highly successful Open Call campaign, which received 60 proposals from across Europe, bears testimony to their dedication and professionalism.

I have found collaborating with Trust-IT to be an enjoyable and highly professional experience. Silvana's team have a thorough grasp of the complexities of the European Union ICT-related ecosystem and initiatives - they demonstrate a policy-driven approach unusual in such a small and nimble company. They are passionate about what they do, and have a knack of identifying and seeding discussion about future market trends within their extensive transatlantic network.

Trust-IT is a highly competent enterprise with an excellent proactive view on what is needed to keep EUDAT positively visible in the right places. I know I can count on Trust-IT's professional approach to market new services or organise large events with a new edge. I would highly recommend Trust-IT for similar services.

CERN is constantly striving to improve and expand its IT services and the support we provide to the research community. We work with TRUST-IT because of their expertise in communications and business relations to ensure we get the right message to the right audience at the right time.

Very clever, appropriate and correct questions and observations from the audience. Cloudscape VII is a perfect framework to obtain useful feedback about our work.

We were very happy with the participation at the workshop. They were all very interested in the MARKOS platform and its support for open source software developers. We had a lively and useful discussion in a familiar atmosphere. I felt like we've known each other for years

Having Trust-IT by our side has been extremely valuable: they have done a great job at the two integration meetings and have provided key on-line tools to help our large consortium work together.

I have collaborated with Trust-IT in five EC FP7 and H2020 projects, all of which they have co-ordinated. These projects have been well organized and even though they were complex in terms of numbers of partners, deliverables and milestones I felt that with the leadership Trust-IT showed the project was always being steered to a successful conclusion. I wouldn't hesitate in joining a consortium they are leading and on a number of occasions have given my personal recommendation to colleagues from other departments within Oxford to join projects Trust-IT were leading. Overall working with Silvana and her team is always rewarding and with projects already completed I feel we have made a difference in Europe, and in a number of cases globally, in a number of ICT related areas providing leadership to a community that would not have reached its full potential otherwise.
