Cloud Computing - Implications for Associations

by Brett Wangman — last modified Jul 01, 2009 11:40 AM

OK. Everyone is talking about Cloud Computing. So here are a couple resources I thought were helpful.

These days, everyone is talking about the impact and importance of Cloud Computing.  We've been thinking a lot about it here at TCAG because our OPENAssociations platform takes advantage of a lot of Cloud-supported applications.

I found a few resources that help explain Cloud Computing - and its significance to associations.

Cloud Computing 101 - Garry Polmateer from VanDamme Associates does a good job summarizing the concept in this blog post.

Avectra has also put together a series of Cloud Computing educational efforts. A recent webinar provided a comprehensive overview

I also appreciated this mini-commercial from Avectra. Might not win any Oscars, but shows their commitment to the concept.
