This document compares using Google Docs and HighriseHQ as cloud solutions for a contact management system for a startup. Google Docs was used initially but was not well suited as it required scrolling across spreadsheets. HighriseHQ was then used which provided a proper customer relationship management application in the cloud without costs for development time or money. The document outlines creating, reading, updating and deleting contacts using REST calls and XML payloads with the HighriseHQ API. In conclusion, cloud computing is suitable for small-to-medium enterprises but not as much for large enterprises, and allows for fast development through code reuse and customization by building own solutions on top of the provided platforms and APIs.
