One of the hottest topics right now in the IT industry is Cloud computing. Cloud computing is a technology model in which any and all resources (hardware and software) are delivered as a set of services via the Internet. As part of this model you are not managing hardware and software. Instead you pay for those services you use. For example, as sales grow and you add more employees, you pay for the additional computing resources in the cloud as needed. The goal of taking advantage of cloud computing is to have your computing costs align with the activity level of your organization. The future of Cloud computing brings new ways to collaborate everywhere through mobile devices.
