Cloud Pro is a site with a difference. Much of the material written about cloud computing has been aimed at the techie community as the decision making process has been left to the IT department, but one of the crucial elements about cloud computing is that much of the impetus comes from business buyers. We’ve therefore ensured that our articles come loaded with advice for both business buyers and the IT departments, prepared for people who are at home reading a balance sheet and those from the other side of the business, who are at ease with handling a router table. Among the contributors to Cloud Pro will be lawyers, accountants, marketers – as well as technologists, IT managers and cloud consultants. Over the next few months, we will be rolling out new features on the site, more sections and some richer content as Cloud Pro reflects the growing interest in cloud computing. As more companies offer more products and more users go down the cloud path, we’ll be reporting on and analysing the latest announcements and explaining how they’ll help companies make the most of the cloud. Cloud Pro comes from the same stable of products as PC Pro, IT Pro and Channel Pro. We have expertise in creating the type of articles that readers want and are geared up to keeping abreast of the latest industry trends. We aim to reflect some of the real world problems faced by businesses so if you’ve been exploring cloud computing, we’d love to hear from you. If you’ve looked at cloud and decided it wasn’t for you, we’d love to hear from you too. And if you have any comments or suggestions, we’d love to hear those as well.
