The collaboration between North Bridge and Gigom involved an industry-leading analysis of cloud computing trends. First-ever comparison of leading-edge and mainstream cloud adoption. Conference and Gigaom Research content creation. Gigaom Research branding.   Gigaom has collaborated as a partner with North Bridge Venture Partners on the Future of Cloud Computing for several years now, deepening the partnership with Jackie’s help each successive year. When I came on board, Jackie helped navigate some significant fine-tuning of the research methodology across the partners. She was our communications hub, and chief project manager, and we would not have been able to improve the project each year without her. The project began as a relatively simple, smaller scale survey written up and presented at a Gigaom event. It has since evolved into a multi-part survey, with live polling, and an extended scope of coverage and detail. Jackie coordinated different partners over time, and kept us on schedule. She also helped ensure rich collaboration and give-and-take among sizeable egos and varying objectives.
