Converting to The Cloud

OK, I’ve recently accepted a position to move an businesses IT platform to “the cloud” using Salesforce.com and decided to blog about it. And what is the first software program I use to take notes to start this blog? That’s right….Word. I’m so used to Microsoft products that it just comes natural to open them when I need to do anything with the computer. How am I going to sale cloud software solutions to replace computer software and servers with these habits?

I’m starting this blog about a month after I started my new position, so I’m going to try and back track my challenges and accomplishments I’ve encountered so far with converting a logistics business of around 10 employees to an IT platform in the cloud with Salesforce. I hope I can provide helpful information to others in the same position as myself and payback the bloggers that have helped me with my achievements so far.

Now I have started my first step to converting to the cloud, I started this blog post with Google in less than 5 minutes, they had to send a verification code to my cell phone which was weird, but it didn't take long.
