It’s nearly impossible to turn a page in a business journal these days without seeing an article about the “cloud” or “software as a service (SaaS).” These topics are everywhere you look and a common reason is the impact they have on the bottom line: software as a service often provides a more cost-effective alternative for organizations to achieve their business objectives than traditional packaged applications. But the rising popularity of the cloud isn’t a sufficient reason to retool the underlying technology supporting your business. If you want to win more bids, increase your profitability and keep ahead of the competition, ignoring it isn’t the answer either.
Determining where cloud computing fits in your business and IT strategy is critical for ensuring you’re driving the most value possible out of both capital and operational expenditures and/or equipping your team with the best tools for the job. This whitepaper examines the business advantages of cloud computing, as well as practical barriers facing most organizations, and concludes with advice for implementing an effective solution. Our goal is to help you make pragmatic decisions about deploying a solution (or blend of solutions) that makes sense for your business—whether it’s in the cloud, on-premises or a little of both.

The eagles have been active for Ossining’s first graders at the Croton boat ramp this week. The first graders are getting an up-close and personal experience with the eagles, giving hands-on experience for their in-school curriculum. Teatown educators and volunteers assist the students in viewing the bald eagles through the spotting scope and instruct them in bald eagle ecology. The eagles, of all ages, are enjoying the cold weather and ice. They have been seen soaring over Eagle Bay, perching in tall trees near Croton Point Park, and feasting on fish on an ice shelf.
Presented by Sagefire Institute: The ancient practice of Sit Spot is a form of daily meditation that takes a person out of their head and into their senses. Unlike other forms of meditation, Sit Spot and its associated core routines of awareness, is done outside where you can experience the fullness of life and fall more deeply in love with the earth.
