Book Launch - how to become information conscious

So, after several months in the making and a few last minute hitches sorting out the layout and finding a printer (I can highly recommend Imprint Digital), my book 'Through The Cloud' is now ready and can be purchased directly from us at http://www.nuvola.co.uk/Book.

It is on the surface a book about cloud computing because I feel this is a paradigm that is transforming the way we use technology. It's actually much more than this though: I have shared my experience of implementing software in businesses of all sizes to create a step by step method for business owners to realise the benefits that the cloud can offer largely by themselves.

The major insight that I have taken from thirteen years in IT consulting is that technology projects which are seen as some sort of 'magic wand' to solve business problems on their own invariably fail to deliver to expectations; projects which are grounded in solving real, quantifiable business issues and improving information flow tend to be successful.

The flip side of this is that those businesses who understand the role that information plays in their business, and put in place systems and processes to make it flow properly and extract the management data they need tend to be more successful. These 'information conscious' organisations are scalable and get the best out of their staff by providing them with the information they need to do their job.

'Through The Cloud' is a step by step guide to becoming information conscious, getting the best from all the cloud technologies available and using that as a platform for business growth.
