Many advisors are still trying to define cloud computing. The good news is that you are using cloud computing everyday and probably don't even know it.

Everyone is familiar with YouTube. It is an application that allows users to post videos for other users to view. Before YouTube, you needed to have a video saved on your computer to be able to watch it. Now these videos live in the ”the cloud” or online for other people to access them.

Advisors can use cloud computing for their applications, too. A great example of this is Advisor Portals™. It provides your clients with document storage, task/project management, and unique communication tools while allowing the flexibility to access it anywhere with an internet connection. Be on the lookout for upcoming product releases from MIAGD to help you get your head INTO the cloud.
