It’s getting Cloudy out there

Cloud Computing for Accountants was held on the 24th September at Chartered Accountants Hall, London.  It didn’t seem worthwhile travelling down to London for a morning session on something we like to think we already know a lot about.  However, there was one interesting point worthy of mention from Dennis Howlett’s presentation which summarised the growth in SaaS Apps (Software as a Service Applications).  Major SaaS service providers are experiencing double-digit growth in the take-up of their services and expect this to continue for the foreseeable future.

If you’re a small business and are concerned with your ongoing investment in on-premise software and exposure in the event of a disaster, then you should consider SaaS.  As a Xero partner, we obviously recommend Xero and you can try it for free.
