The recent article in Meeting & Conventions Magazine talks about "cloud computing". The word 'cloud' has been coined to describe using Software as a Service or SaaS. SaaS means using software applications over the Internet through your browser rather than purchasing and loading software onto your computer. This is the future of sharing information and technology. No longer are we constrained by specific hardware or operating systems. Information in the 'cloud' is available 24/7 and 365 days a year. It is accessible from any type of computer, on all mobile devices and it is accessible from anywhere.
Meetings & Conventions calls this change a "dynamic shift" in mindset. The major software developers are moving their software solutions to the 'cloud'. Companies are storing their information outside of their offices because the it is available with ease and real-time sharing of the data is more efficient than ever.
No wonder that Conference & Logistics Consultants chose to build its new mobile conference navigation app, meetsmart mobile 'in the cloud'. Every conference organizer wants to know that their meeting data can be accessed easily and won't be disrupted by programming or platform issues. Conference organizers work every day to avoid surprises. What planner would want to have their conference navigation app derailed by a phone manufacturer upgrade right before their event?
"Cloud computing" is the way of the future. Manage your costs, keep control of your data, minimize software issues and put your information into all the hands of your audience. meetsmart mobile: Meeting Technology by Meeting Planners.
