     Are you curious about what "Cloud Computing" is and wonder how you can benefit by using it?    Would you like to have a solid grounding, as a business professional, in what “Cloud” really means, what its implication are and most importantly what completely new things it makes
possible?  As a job candidate who is required to conduct business in multiple and diverse settings it can be a game changer, reduce expenses and save time.  Peter will give the three minute history on the major paradigm shifts in technology that have led up to Cloud, discuss what Cloud is and isn’t, why it’s happening now and how embracing it can improve your productivity while reducing your expenses. Join us to learn about the possibilities. 

  
With nearly 25 years in leading technology firms like Accenture and Oracle, Peter has been involved in building, delivering and communicating about "Cloud" since predicting its emergence as "Pervasive Computing," in a white paper authored in 2001 when he was Director of
Technology R&D at Fidelity Investments Center for Applied Technology.  Since then he's been VP -Solution
 Delivery for Blacksmith Applications, a leading Cloud model solution for Trade Promotion Management and led development of Oracle's initial Cloud solution for their Supply Chain Planning Applications portfolio.  He is
