Final Report from SMB Nation Fall 2012.

Our final interview from SMB Nation's Fall conference is with Tom Poole, Founder and CEO of Cloud Nation. Cloud Nation is an SMB Nation family brand.

Cloud Nation has created a three-pronged program for helping MSPs make it to the cloud. Their goal is to provide a system so that SMB Consultants can jump into cloud offerings very quickly — confident that they're selling top-notch, reliable services. The program is good for both existing MSPs without a cloud offering and folks who are knew to the business altogether.
