Confused about cloud computing? Not surprising when one expert praises its low cost and ease of implementation while another condemns its lack of reliability and security.

Unwilling to participate in something that sounds so ... airy? It may sound airy but it's solid technology that you may already be using without realizing it. Do you have a Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail account? Then you're in the cloud ... and you already know some of the benefits of cloud computing.

Working in the cloud has some very practical benefits for small businesses and nonprofits. In this free, one-hour webinar, you'll find out: 

  • What cloud computing is;
  • Benefits of cloud computing for small businesses and nonprofits;
  • Drawbacks to working "in the cloud;"
  • How you can use the cloud for everything from document storage to managing customer relationships, from email to finance;
  • Who provides cloud services (from start-ups to the big boys);
  • Costs (free to hidden).

In plain talk, you'll learn how to determine if the rewards of the cloud are worth the risks.
