Cloud computing has revolutionized
data sharing and storage, setting
a new standard for collaboration
around the world
This game-changing technology has enabled the storage
and sharing of huge volumes of data, the birth of entirely
new business models and the ability to work collaboratively
from any location around the globe. At our third annual
Cloud Computing Conference, Goldman Sachs brought
together a range of leaders — including technology
innovators in cloud computing, executives from some
of the most interesting companies driving this shift and
venture capitalists. This group shared ideas on an array
of critical cloud innovations and topics that are creating
opportunity in the technology space and beyond.

MASSACHUSETTS-BASED HOLOGIC
has become a driving force in early
detection, ranging from cancer to
infectious diseases. The company’s
3-D mammographic technology, for
example, allows doctors to spot very
small cancers that might have previously
gone undetected, an advance with a
profound impact on outcomes. As
Hologic has evolved, Goldman Sachs
has maintained a close relationship,
helping to assess potential acquisitions
and arranging access to capital that
supported the company’s growth into
an $8.5 billion enterprise.

As e-commerce soars and the first real digital
generation comes into its own, online shopping
platforms will grow, adapt and compete for
market share. In 2013, Goldman Sachs helped
both established e-commerce sites and new
innovators take significant steps, serving as
lead underwriter for zulily’s $291 million IPO and
RetailMeNot’s $187 million follow-on, as well
as advisor to travel aggregator Priceline on its
$1.8 billion acquisition of Kayak, enabling the
company to add leading-edge apps for comparing
hundreds of travel sites at once.
According to Goldman Sachs research, digital
commerce adoption and expansion is anticipated
to further accelerate, with annual growth reaching
nearly 17 percent within the next three years.
