When most people think of the cloud, they generally look at is as means of building and hosting highly-scalable, highly-available applications to their customers and partners. However, many forward looking companies see the cloud as a way to enable and empower their mobile workforces, giving people the ability to work on-the-go wherever and whenever they need.

This is what Accenture has done using Windows Azure. In this episode of ARCast, Denny Boynton sits down with Joseph Paradi, Innovation Lead for Internal IT at Accenture to discuss why they chose the cloud to keep their dynamic and mobile workforce connected to their business.
