What is Cloud Advocates?

Cloud Advocates is an association of consultants who aim to demystify the Cloud and provide pragmatic help and advice for businesses, organizations and accounting practices

Why do we need Cloud Advocates?

Cloud Computing,  from web  based applications to on demand infrastructure, is just moving from being the next big trend to a mainstream technology choice.  There are a plethora of events and announcements around the topic, and every technology provider is redefining whatever offering they've got as a Cloud solution.  In the middle of all this noise, some of the technology enthusiasts feel we need some clarity on the topic.  

"Cloud Computing is definitely at a tipping point in the UK, but the providers and experts speak too much jargon and spend too much time on definitions, technical issues and highlighting the potential negatives.  We started Cloud Advocates to explain the benefits in plain English and focus on the practical steps for a business or practice to make use of the best cloud applications and tools."
                                                                                                  - Richard Messik, Co-Founder

"As well as a place to get expert help, we aim to make the Cloud Advocates website a destination for all things Cloud.  It has blog posts and guides, and highlights the best of the available Cloud resources and news sites.  It shows our Cloud Manifesto, which isn't just another definition of Cloud, but our roadmap for how you put this technology in to practice. "
