Cloud Computing for Small Business Webinar Video & Notes
Thursday, 14 April 2011
On April 12, 2011, we conducted a 1 hour webinar on Cloud Computing geared towards small businesses.  We had a great turn out and the feedback has been positive.  We are planning our next webinar on IT security with a focus on cloud deployment and best practices.  We look forward to announcing the date soon.

Besides a recording of the webinar, you'll find links to the presentation we used for the webinar.  We used a tool called Prezi instead of the typical PowerPoint slide deck to keep things interesting.   Prezi is a great presentation tool (we have a review in our Sandbox Blog) and we encourage everyone to give it a try.  We are also including links to the products and companies we mentioned in the webinar.  Not every solution we mentioned is right for every business, so feel free to contact us if you would like to consider a cloud solution designed for your business.  Thanks again to all those who attended and we look forward to seeing you at the next webinar event!
