Cloud computing - you can't get away from it at the moment - all the business organisations are talking about it and all the IT vendors are saying their products are about Cloud in some way.
What should small and medium-sized companies make of cloud? Is it for you or only the bigger players with IT directors and consultants to advise them?
Broadly Cloud divides into:
Cloud Infrastructure - databases and services that would otherwise run on your own office server
Software as a Service - (SaaS) - software that you would otherwise install or download to your desktop or laptop computer
If you would like to join our National Suppliers Register for Cloud Computing, join the UK IT Association as a full-member and tick 'Cloud Computing' in the Technology Map Icon section of your profile(up to a maximum of 6 technology groups) or CONTACT our membership office for more information.
