Moving data to the cloud is a trend that will continue to spread, and it’s not only a solution for large enterprises. Small and medium-sized businesses can also benefit from using the cloud to manage day-to-day functions. But many business owners don’t understand the cloud and how it can benefit them.

Calgary, Alberta -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/13/2012 -- "Cloud Means Business" is a seminar that will help Calgary business owners to understand the cloud, its benefits and how to use it to enhance their companies' day-to-day operations.

The seminar is offered with four different dates across Calgary: Mar. 1, 2012, at the Alastair Ross Technology Centre in NW Calgary; Mar. 8 at the CTECH boardroom downtown; Mar. 14 at the Glenmore Inn in SE Calgary; and Mar. 21 at the CTECH boardroom once again. It will be hosted by the Cloud Summit Alliance, which is a collaboration among Calgary-based CTECH Consulting Group, Assistus Corporation and Aqurus Solutions, Inc.

After a brief introduction, CTECH president Carl Fransen will get things started by discussing network and hardware infrastructure and explaining how technology and devices can be safely moved to the cloud.

Assistus president and CEO Ryan Mullaney will talk about using the cloud for day-to-day tasks such as email, document management and integrated workflow.

"Productivity means a lot to small and medium-sized business owners. We want them to know that they don't have to sacrifice productivity or efficiency by using the cloud," said Mullaney. "In fact, it could help them be even more productive and efficient over time."

All presentations by the Cloud Summit Alliance will be in plain English so everyone can easily understand the discussions. Attendance to this event is free, but seats are limited.

On December 8, 2011, from 1:00pm - 4:00pm MT, Assistus hosted a private hands-on Microsoft Customer Immersion Experience. Assistus invited a select group of professionals from various industries to come and learn about Microsoft Office 365, the newest generation of Microsoft’s Cloud-Based Collaboration Suite.

Calgary, Alberta -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/23/2012 -- What an amazing day! Roughly 7-8 attendees showed up for the three-hour event. They were treated to a lecture at Microsoft Canada's Calgary location where everything regarding Office 365 as a commercial software plus services offering was discussed. They learned what it was and what benefits could be derived from this powerful collaboration and communications tool.

According to Ryan Mullaney, President of Assistus Corporation, "The session itself was pretty intense; but we had a lot of fun. Everyone went away with satisfaction, knowing they had just received a wealth of information that resonated with the vision of Microsoft technology going forward. It demonstrated a full spectrum of technologies that can all work together."

Maintaining physical server hardware can be a costly and large IT burden. After the initial setup and configuration, IT professionals must perform daily maintenance, monitoring and server patching on a routine basis. A cloud-based solution like Office 365 relieves the stress and worry about potential disasters that goes along with using in-house servers.

Due to the success of the December event, Assistus will host another Office 365 Customer Immersion Experience on Feb. 16, courtesy of Microsoft. To register or more information, call (403) 717-1835.
