Business across Shropshire can learn about the "big buzz in the technology world" with a 'Lunch n Learn' workshop being offered by a county IT specialist.

Chris Pallett, the Shropshire chairman of the Chartered Institute of IT who runs Bespoke Computing in Telford, is working with the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce to provide a number of workshops for businesses.

They are taking place throughout the first half of 2011 and the next session is on The Cloud on March 23rd, 2011, between 12pm and 2pm at the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce offices in Stafford Park, Telford.

Mr Pallett said: "The big buzz word in the technology world right now is The Cloud as it offers an exciting and flexible new approach to delivering technology solutions.

"Some providers are promising business revolution, increased sales and reduced technology costs. But what does it all really mean? In real terms, what could The Cloud do for your business?"

The workshop will teach participants about what The Cloud is, but more importantly, what The Cloud isn't, understand what it means to put your business in The Cloud and the advantages of doing so, learn the difference between the Public Cloud and a Private Cloud, understand the pitfalls of buying into The Cloud and how to avoid them and take away practical examples of how you can employ The Cloud within your own business.

The price to attend is just £25 plus VAT and includes a working lunch; places are limited to 15 people.
