Organised by the well-known firm of international accountants, KPMG, a breakfast seminar was held at the Sheraton Hotel in Bahrain in the Middle East.

It could be said that if you aren’t using the internet for your business you will eventually get left behind. While, say, ten years ago, that was probably far-fetched, today, however, I think it is very apt. More and more people are shopping online at the detriment of high street shops.

South America in general – and Brazil in particular – is considered to be lagging behind the West and Asia in developing cloud solutions. However, that could be about to change with the announcement of a conference to discuss the benefits of web-based solutions to businesses and organisations. The conference itself will actually take place [...]

Personally, if my own experience is anything to go by it is online software (SaaS) and website development that is taking the lead rather than other aspects such as Infrastructure as a Service.
