Among them was M2M Systems, which received the small and mid-market cloud solutions award for getting firms to take up cloud computing, a technology concept that has picked up steam in the last few years. In its simplest terms, cloud computing is the storing and accessing of all sorts of data over the Internet, rather than on a computer hard drive. Co-managers Clare Mungai and Rasto Kiplangat set up M2M to offer consultancy on cloud services and resell Microsoft products. M2M started out providing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), which helps organisations collect, store, manage and interpret data from its business activities. It then moved into cloud computing because of its potential.
