"We’re looking forward to this exciting partnership with CloudFirst,” said Michael Strech, President and CEO of the North State BIA. “As technology continues to not only advance but also play a larger role in our industry, it is absolutely imperative that our members receive the training they need in order to stay ahead of the game.”

CIO Magazine reported last month that the majority of tech executives in organizations plan to foster a cloud-first strategy for enterprise in 2016 (according to a new survey from Bitglass.). The survey was conducted with 92 CIOs and IT leaders at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo in November of 2015, and the findings were released last month. It was clear many respondents reported cost savings in 2015 as a result of using cloud-based SaaS applications, such as Microsoft's Office 365.

Through its partnership with the North State BIA, CloudFirst hopes to assist builders to achieve similar benefits. The technology webinars are scheduled each month though out 2016, and will be open to both members and non-member of the North State BIA.
