We had a stellar turnout to our most recent cloud event in Sacramento.  Local CFOs and CTOs came to find out more about cloud technology from Bi101, along with our partners from NetSuite and Google.  We noticed that folks are interested in cloud technology and in finding ways they can run their businesses better and less expensively.

Serena Donovan from Google shared how the state of Wyoming just completed the migration of all 10,000 state government employees to Google Apps for Government. State employees now have a unified communications system that makes it easier for them to find & collaborate with one another. Wyoming is the first state in the country to make this transition.

Amede Hungerford from NetSuite shared how clients are using NetSuite to scale their businesses efficiently and quickly with very little need for IT management costs.  What surprised guests the most was the ability to customize NetSuite to the individual needs of the business while also staying on the front end of technology with free, automatic upgrades.

Jeremey  Evans, CEO of Sepialine and one of Bi101’s customers also spoke of his experience transitioning to NetSuite and Google Apps.  This sparked some of the most interesting dialog with our guests – they were able to ask questions that really matter to their business and got real time feedback from a Bi101 client who has just experienced the move to the cloud.  Interestingly, our seminar attracted businesses from a wide range of industries – government agencies, manufacturing, retail and software companies all looking for ways to improve the way their businesses are run.

Don’t worry if you missed this event, we are planning on hosting our next cloud education seminar on August 25, 2011.  Let us know at sales@bi101.com if you’re interested and we’ll send you an invitation!
