Upcoming ebusiness Club Event: Cloud Computing Conference, Nottingham

If it's good enough for the likes of Google and IBM, then I am guessing Cloud Computing is good enough for me! But what is it and what can it offer to small businesses such as mine? The East Midlands ebusiness Club is hoping to quell some of the fears by answering these and many other questions at their free one-day conference on Friday 15th April (see http://tinyurl.com/3ce54bh for more details).

The conference will include a series presentations explaining the business benefits of employing cloud computing, including discussing the risks and security considerations. In addition the conferences promises to provide case studies and practical demonstrations of how a small business can set up and fully integration cloud technology.

As a freelance technical author I am particularly interested in understanding how cloud computing can help the exchange of information between client and remote author, an issue that often rears its ugly head during the review process.
