Integrating the cloud into your web operations

Case: John Carroll University

Higher education, Conference Day #1, Wednesday May 5th, 10.30 am - 12.00 am

In these days of reduced budgets, staffing and resources, now more than ever web teams need to accomplish more with less. After all, the demands for our services from our on-campus constituents as well as our core audiences (prospective students, alumni, etc) are surely not diminishing.  Services like inexpensive cloud storage, backups, cloud-based survey and form tools are compelling tools that developers can add to their web development toolbox. They not only let us get more out of our available resources (staffing and budget), they make our lives as web developers and managers a little bit easier, and that is always a nice benefit.
