But sometimes it is difficult to get behind the hype.
The essence of Cloud is obtaining IT services or resources over the internet. You may already have looked at applications such as Google Apps, Office 365, CRM systems, or accountancy systems that can be used on a “pay as you go” basis via a web browser, often offering attractive opportunities for cost savings when compared to more “traditional” software packages.
But what are the realities of using the “Cloud” in a small/medium business, and what are the true benefits, risks and costs?
This one day Cloud training course will provide business owners, directors and managers with a better understanding of “The Cloud” and explore how you could benefit from using a range of Cloud services in your business.
