Cloud Computing's potential doesn't begin and end with the personal computer's transformation into a thin client – this technology is also going to heavily impact the mobile platform.
So too will the way employees interact with one-another and with the customer. The collaborative nature of the cloud makes this all possible. The enterprise is fast becoming an extended system that reaches out to partners and customers. Those people may be in distant places. They can't access your desktop but they can interact with you in a social, collaborative environment that embraces the open Web, as delivered through the Cloud.
‘Cloud Connect’ examines the interaction with the Social Cloud, Enterprise 2.0, Mobile Cloud Computing and Apps.
