Cloud4 Computers sponsors local cloud computing event
10th November 2011
Wigan Borough Business Club’s latest free event was on Cloud Computing and how it can benefit your business.
The business club is led by a number of leading businesses in the Wigan and surrounding areas, including Stephensons Solicitors LLP, PA Hull & Co chartered accountants, PaulDesigns and NatWest.
The group meets monthly and is supported by Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Phil Donoghue from Cloud4 Computers provided a detailed insight into Cloud Computing, and how it can aid small businesses.
Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, where shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over the internet.
Claire Jady from PA Hull & Co also spoke about Cloud Accounting for small businesses. After the presentations, there was also a time spot of networking with other businesses, which can help find new customers and suppliers.
Louise Hebborn, an Associate Solicitor in Stephensons’ Commercial department, said: “The Wigan Borough Business Club is a chance for local businesses of any size to get together and learn about issues which are likely to affect them. “Topics in the past have covered debt recovery, employment law issues, tax advice and much more. Our next event will be a great chance to find out more about what is quite a new phenomenon, cloud computing, with the opportunity for networking afterwards and a free buffet as well.
“We are keen to welcome new members to our group so would urge people to come along and see how the group can add value to their business activities.”
