This group will work on the strategy we need to have in order to enable:

• Recruiting and working with cloud computing companies so they can provide the software services manufacturing software companies need to best take advantage of the cloud.  As we enable MTConnect on the factory floor, we are going to see an increasing need to have this data analyzed and integrated.  The cloud offers tremendous opportunities that we simply must take advantage of
