    So what is Cloud Computing?
Technically speaking:

                   Delivery of hosted services and
                                    applications such as
                       software, storage and servers over
                       the internet as needed by a utility
                                service provider
ARDA World 2012, Annual Convention

 No really, what is Cloud Computing?
Non-technically speaking:

                       It’s about delivering computer
                      hardware and software over the
                       Internet as a scalable resource
                       that can be turned on or off as
                         needed just like any service
ARDA World 2012, Annual Convention

       Focus on SaaS

                 Software as a Service (SaaS)
                         Definition:
               Rather than relying on desktop
               software or traditional servers,
                software is hosted by a third
              party and available via the Cloud
            through a browser on your computer
