Your cloud provides a lofty anywhere, any device, view of you and your corporate's connected services. We need to humanize its interaction reflecting our expertise and connections to reality. We all need to talk about how we plan to meet and interact in the cloud. Our combined expertise in getting data ready is the value we bring the cold heartless data cloud. We need to customize and humanize our corner of the cloud for our purposes, bonding our fragmented industry into a presentation model the world can use.

Interface and interaction must be simple, powerful, and app like, tuned closely to our individual requirements. Think like the early days of internet when we were all trying to get our head around a virtual projection of ourselves and our companies on a web site. Many say the cloud and its mobile connections with - bring your own device - have created a rebirth of the internet. What will your new cloud child look like?

I just returned from a very successful AHR Expo in Dallas where much of the focus of most products on the exhibition floor was leveraged on the cloud. Apps were everywhere, and new products built on web services where challenging traditional thinking and hard devices. The "New ERA" we welcomed you to last month was well depicted. This is going to be a year of exciting change. A lot of what we have been talking about in our magazine for the last 14 years has actually happened in the last few years and even months. Please read our quick review of this event.

This February issue contains lots of great articles, columns, reviews, new products, interviews and even a few predictions. Our steady stream of news depicts our rapid evolution and the journey through the "New ERA" to the task of Humanizing the cloud.
