The universe of cloud computing is rapidly
growing. CPAs and accounting professionals are looking at cloud
computing to increase productivity and reduce their reliance on
in-house systems. Cloud computing also reduces the requirement for
firms to continually upgrade internal accounting and business
applications. Cloud computing is changing the way businesses are
using their computers systems. Amazon and Google, for instance, are
changing mainstream thinking with offsite computing and storage.
They are changing the way corporation applications run and where
their data resides. This session will provide both an overview and
details on how this cloud computing works, and how it will impact on
your business.
Topics to be covered include:
What is cloud computing?
How can the web be a computing platform?
Where is the data and how safe is it?
Impact on software vendors and users
Business continuity, disaster recovery in the cloud
