Evolution and Innovation.. These two words are moving our world and economy forward and are giving us more opportunities, knowledge, and advantages. As these two words have great impact on the information technology industry, while we transition from the world of "classic computing" into the age of "cloud computing".

"Cloud Computing" as it is referred to is simply the concept of using the "service" of either software, hardware, or network infrastructure, without having to invest capital into the equipment or product producing the service. The "cloud" refers to the "service" being available on the public internet (Google Apps, Salesforce, etc). Makes sense right? Ultimately, businesses invest into equipment and service for returns that increase output, productivity, satisfaction, or function.

No longer is investing into computers, servers, firewalls, software necessarily the best use of your investment dollars.
