Cloud Computing is usually an overused buzzword that leaves entrepreneurs scratching their heads as to its practical use. We know better though and we see the real value, which is why the MIT Enterprise Forum is dedicating an entire event to the topic. On March 25th, we will be exploring the real practical uses behind Cloud Computing such as:

How Cloud Computing reduces cost by making infrastructure a variable cost instead of a huge up front fixed cost. Example: Entrepreneurs can start technology companies for $20 in up front costs instead of needing to raise $2 million.
How cloud computing reduces IT overhead costs to almost nothing with on-demand delivery of software via the web browser? Example: Google Apps allow an organization to have on-demand office applications that are available immediately via the web browser and upgraded automatically without the need for expensive IT administration.
How cloud computing allows anyone to do business development deals with each other just by having an "open API". Example: Any company in the world can interface their startup's application with the data sources of major companies such as Twitter, Google, Facebook, Salesforce, and more for free by simply accessing their APIs.
