By TIFCA News

Client to Cloud Ecosystem
Computing is heading towards a world of any place, any time, and any device user experiences made possible by seamless client-cloud infrastructure and a write-once reach-many device ecosystem for application and content creators alike.

TIFCA has been laying down the groundwork through conferences (e.g. The International Future Computing Summit), lead-up meetings, data collection, vision documents, and more. Our latest step is the Client to Cloud portal which spells out why this next era of computing is so important, why organizations should join the revolution, and some of what the industry told us in our recent year-end ecosystem survey.  Valuable support materials are included as well!
