There is a lot of hype in the media and talk at industry conferences about 
cloud computing and its impact on traditional IT operations. 
Many private and public sector organizations have announced that they are 
“going to the cloud” to host their business applications and store 
mission-critical data.  And while there is great optimism that cloud-based 
solutions and technologies can lower IT costs and improve technology 
deployments, the outsourcing of electronic records creation, access and 
storage deserves close scrutiny and due diligence. 
If you are interested in learning about cloud computing trends and gain 
practical advice on how to address records management requirements when 
buying cloud-based services, mark your calendar and plan to attend the 
ARMA-Madison Spring Seminar, "2011 Forecast: Cloudy With a Chance of 
Clearing" is scheduled for Tuesday, April 19 in the Fluno Center on the 
campus of the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Featured speakers are: Brent Gatewood, PelliGroup, and Alan Pelz-Sharpe, 
The Real Story Group.  For more information see the Seminar brochure:
