ot unlike the Internet, email and the
cellphone before it, cloud computing
is well on its way to becoming a
dominant business technology. For
many engineering firms, recent
developments in mobile technology
and computing infrastructure make
the cloud an attractive and cost-effective solution.

the beginning of 2012 and 28 percent in 2011.
