“NDSE has plans to offer additional complementary seminars in our local markets to help educate business owners and organization leaders about the facts and fiction around cloud computing and how it can work for them” said Paul O’Donnell, Network Data Security Experts, Inc. “There is a lot of ‘hype’ out there and we want to make sure our fellow professionals are making educated decisions before they jump into something that can dramatically affect their organization either positively or negatively”

The Talkin’ Cloud 50 report, available at http://www.talkincloud.com/biz-talk/talkin-cloud-50/, is based on data from Talkin’ Cloud’s online survey, completed in March 2011.

And they typical company on the list generated at least $6 million in cloud revenues — a healthy figure considering the market is just getting started.”
