The publication gives an impressive overview of twenty-five successful case studies covering the industrial sectors from Advanced Manufacturing, Media, Financial, Retail and Logistics, Environment and e-Science, Telecommunication, Tourism, and Agriculture to Health. The case studies from the different sectors show how businesses may profit from distributed computing - from Grid to Cloud solutions.

In an economy that often insists on proven business cases to innovate, the booklet offers just that: concrete examples of how and why Grid and Cloud solutions can benefit the described industrial sectors. Also included are post-project perspectives with IT-Tude.com, the Cloud momentum story, ten tips towards successful Grid-based business and much more.

As BEinGRID is the Platinum Sponsor of the major ICSOC/ServiceWave2009 Conference, copies of the booklet will be distributed at this event taking place on November 24-27 in Stockholm.
