Cloud can be the catalyst for capital starved entrepreneurs to come up with innovative business ideas disrupting not only entire industries but also the way we live, consume and procure information, goods and services. Cloud is cost effective, offers high scalability and eliminates the need for expensive technology infrastructure.
