The Year of Cloud Computing Launches at NY Show [VIDEO]

With the focus of the profession shifting, CPA Trendlines is officially declaring 2010 as The Year of the Cloud for CPAs.

Forget the recession. Never mind client defections or the staffing crisis. The talk of the New York Accounting Technology conference is all about cloud computing.

The central news event of the conference was the disclosure that the AICPA’s CPA2Biz unit is adding XCM workflow solutions to its stable of marketing and distribution offerings, joining Intacct, Bill.com, Paychex and Copanion.

Watch and listen as XCM executives Mark Albrecht, CEO, and Glenn Keenan, president, explain what it means for the profession and AICPA members:

Hi Rick,

I just wanted to reach out and personally thank you for taking the time to talk with us yesterday. The recordings of Mark and Glen you had posted to your blog were not only a great opportunity for us to talk about the significance of the CPA2Biz relationship for us, but your blog has already generated interest in XCM among your readers. In fact, one Illinois-based firm contacted us first thing this morning to request a demonstration – noting that she learned of us through your blog. So thank you!
