Grant Sutherland, CEO of Valhalla Consulting Services, is a participant in the Kootenay i-Tech Trade Show being held May 25 and 26, 2011, and his company will have a booth in both the Nelson and Cranbrook shows.

Sutherland said his booth will highlight the leading software and hardware available through Valhalla Consulting. The company will also spotlight cloud technology from Microsoft and Rackforce. Sutherland said this technology is designed to run infrastructure in a "cloud"—meaning that businesses, instead of using physical infrastructure, will be able to log on and access their company's databases and information from anywhere.

“This will allow people to migrate off expensive infrastructures and direct information technology staff to align their business strategically,” Sutherland said. “All companies will have some percentage of cloud computing in the future. It can save businesses a lot of money; it should be part of an overall business plan.”

Valhalla Consulting Services has been in the area for 15 years, and Sutherland said the company has always had a close relationship with Microsoft. Sutherland's portfolio includes project management, software architecture, business analysis, and application and database development. Valhalla Consulting Services works both locally and further afield.

Sutherland is looking forward to the Kootenay i-Tech Trade Show.

“It is really an optimistic time for companies to look at technology refresh and move into the clouds with confidence,” said Sutherland.
