I’m looking forward to attending ITExpo January 20th – 22nd in Miami, Florida. The lineup of Keynote speakers for this conference is fantastic. I’ll be listening especially closely to Brian Higgins, Executive Director of Ecosystem Development for Verizon Wireless. It’s refreshing, if not surprising, to see one of the big boys at a conference all about innovation.
I have the pleasure of speaking on two panels at this event, one focusing on Cloud Communications and the other on CEBP implementations and fundamentals – two topics that are very near and dear to us at Jaduka. The Cloud Communications Summit will also draw a wide audience. Many enterprises can see the light at the end of the [...]

While investigating different methods of enabling enterprise developers with voice services, we examined the services already embedded within the enterprise and why.

Believe it or not, I like Wiki’s definition of Cloud Computing the best. Wiki defines Cloud Computing as a general concept that incorporates Software as a Service (SaaS), Data as a Service (DaaS), Web 2.0 & other recent, well-known technology trends, in which the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users.
