More about the book

Interested in making your business more efficient? Cloud Computing might be the solution you need. It can help reduce IT costs and allow you to concentrate on your core business while saving energy.

Covering everything from software as a service (SaaP) to overhauling your entire IT infrastructure, the author provides insights as an educator, guide, and strategist to elevate your organization. You'll find valuable tips on selecting a Cloud Services provider as well. The author, Kevin T. McDonald, is a Senior Information Technology Analyst and Cloud Strategist at ICF International Inc.
