About me
Just so you’re not thinking that some young pup (with gray hair highlights) is not pretending to be an experienced programmer…
According to an NTT Com Security study, cloud-adoption rates in North America are up: 28 percent of Canadian and U.S. companies surveyed reported that they have already deployed cloud products. Forty percent of those companies call the cloud “critical” to their business.
Providers come and go as the landscape evolves, but Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps are driving adoption. The two appear on the surface to offer nearly identical feature sets.
