Cloud Computing Popularity Leads to Google Docs Training Course

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 26, 2009 -- LOS ANGELES, Calif. March 26, 2009 -- Simon Sez IT (http://www.SimonSezIT.com) a leading online training company based in Los Angeles, has developed a new software training course for Google Docs. The 6-hour video course provides instruction on how to use and navigate through Google's online version of its popular business suite of applications, including Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentations - all part of Google's cloud computing strategy.

For those new to the term "cloud computing", imagine a warehouse filled with thousands of computers. And now imagine these warehouses strategically located throughout the world. All of these warehouses, or data warehouses, are intertwined leading to low cost, highly efficient and redundant computing storage. For example, your free e-mail service such as Gmail or Microsoft's Hotmail stores your e-mail messages on multiple computers in multiple data warehouses. Google Docs extends this by now including not only e-mail, but file storage as well.

“In as little as a few months time, we've witnessed the phenomenal growth of the cloud computing environment. In fact, SimonSezIT uses Google Docs internally to keep our organization efficient through its minimal cost and ease of collaboration," explains company president and founder Simon Calder. "With so many organizations searching for ways to minimize costs during this difficult economic climate, Google Docs offers an opportunity to avoid the expensive licensing costs associated with Microsoft Office,” says Calder.

When asked which features he values most with Google Docs, Calder listed "collaboration, disaster recovery, minimal cost and timely, unfettered access to documents, presentations and spreadsheets. I can share my document not only with internal staff, but I can easily collaborate with anyone who has an internet connection. Gone are the days when you collaborate by forwarding a file via e-mail!”

SimonSezIT.com is one of only a handful of professional training organizations offering full training courses on Google Docs. Unique to Calder's company is the value at which this training is offered: a 6-hour training DVD is currently on sale at their eBay store for $7.99, which includes free shipping to any location in the U.S. or Canada. The same course is also available through their online subscription service which provides access to all of SimonSezIT’s online training courses, including Google Docs.

During an economic slowdown, there will be losers and winners. Calder’s company is thriving despite this downturn and is no doubt among the latter.
