Wake Forest, N.C. – Cloud technology and its benefits will be the topic of a free, no-obligation webinar moderated by industry advisor Dr. Joe Webb. The event includes experts in technology, migration, and legal issues who will offer their perspectives about cloud technologies and print businesses. The event will be held on Wednesday, February 21 at 2:00pm Eastern US time. Registration is at http://bit.ly/cloud-2018.

Joining Dr. Webb will be cloud architect and data migration expert Scott Prince, industry technologist Slava Apel, and attorney Roger McClure. 

According to Mr. Apel, “Printers typically limit themselves to two or three cloud based processes instead of over 40 available cloud applications. With more than 500 vendors in the market, the choices can be bewildering.” Webinar participants will get a practical and actionable perspective of their cloud options.

Mr. Prince, seasoned expert in cloud migration and security processes believes that “the demands of the printing industry are relentless. The more flexible and scalable your support systems are, the better your productivity will be, and the sharper your competitive edge. Cloud technologies can have a positive impact on nearly every aspect of your business.”

“The legal issues of cloud computing are often unrecognized,” said Mr. McClure. “I have some important pointers about making wise cloud decisions.” Among Mr. McClure’s topics are the security of customer data – and that of the printer’s own business.

Participants are encouraged to pre-register to reserve a spot, as there is limited space. If attendees cannot attend for the live presentation, pre-registration will ensure access to the archived recording and video. Register at http://bit.ly/cloud-2018.

The webinar includes a question and answer session. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions to the event.
