Work Shifting – Office in the Cloud… or not?

Work Shifting – Welcome to Your New Office in the Cloud

Ok, let me get this straight: only 29% of small business owners had ever heard of Cloud Computing!:-(
And of those, only 26% could describe what Cloud is?
If my math is good (29% x 26%) that means that only 7.5% of small business owners know what Cloud is!
One of the greatest equalizers of our time, and small business owners don’t know what it is. (IT, Edu & IP make 3)
One can assume that a lot of them aren’t using cloud either? Cloud, SaaS, ASP, etc…. These are a prerequisite for productivity and for successful telecommuting.
Wow? Gotta go think about this.
