At the NWA Tech Fest, attending the Cloud track presentations. Most of them are Microsoft-centric, focusing on their Office 365 and Azure product lines, which is disappointingly homogeneous, but still of interest.
The Azure platform's definitely got some power behind it, which I'm hoping will become available to me at my day job soon. Our current cloud solution is woefully underpowered for our needs, and it's starting to negatively impact our performance.

Hi Jason,
What cloud system are you guys using at Wal Mart right now? We're using Xerox's Codendi, but it's starting to become a bit of a headache for me to administer.

Hey Tom,
We're using Intuit QuickBase at the moment, which has been great up until recently. We've started to outgrow its capabilities and the demands of our division just keep increasing. It's unfortunately fairly limited in the amount of data it's able to store and process, and we keep running into those limits.
I don't think we'll ever get rid of QuickBase, it's great at what it's intended to do, but we'll soon need a supplementary cloud solution to fill the high performance niche.
