Forget the well-trodden path of technology implications, it’s time to consider the full extent of cloud computing on business.

Certainly it is transformational. Certainly it is pervasive. Certainly, it matters to entrepreneurs and business leaders. Gain valuable perspectives on the cloud and how you can get the most from it by attending a free event presented by Provoke and Microsoft.

Scheduled for 7 November, the event takes a strategic view, focusing on how the cloud is not just changing the IT function within businesses, but also the industries in which they operate.

A key topic for discussion is the cloud’s ability to ‘shrink’ the globe and make the creation of truly international businesses a reality for Kiwi entrepreneurs like Jason Kerr, CTO and founder of find.ly.

Flying somewhat below the radar so far in NZ, but making major inroads in the United States, find.ly is an innovative approach to the recruitment challenge faced by all companies: it seeks to cut 100% of recruiting costs and solve talent acquisition problems – for good.

Get along and see what Jason and the other panelists have to say about how the cloud can change your business. More information on the event can be found at hub.provoke.co.nz/events.
