The document discusses cloud computing and provides examples of how planners can use cloud services. Some key benefits of cloud computing mentioned are lower costs since users only pay for resources used, flexibility since files can be accessed from anywhere, and reliability since files are backed up in the cloud. Specific cloud services highlighted that planners commonly use include Google Drive, Evernote, Eventbrite, MailChimp, and Basecamp. The presentation concludes with contact information for the speaker.

2. Cloud Computing Defined
• Cloud computing refers to the delivery of
computing and storage capacity as a service
to a heterogeneous community of end-
recipients. The name comes from the use of
clouds as an abstraction for the complex
infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.
Cloud computing entrusts services with a
user's data, software and computation over a
network. It has considerable overlap with
software as a service (SaaS).
