TMC, Light and Electric Partner To Produce Cloud Communications Training Series

NORWALK, Conn., Nov 11, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
TMKT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC(R)), a leading global
media company, today announced a partnership with Light and Electric for
joint participation in a series of Webinars, screencasts and in-show
sessions covering the benefits of cloud communications. The initial
workshops and sessions are scheduled to be collocated with TMC's ITEXPO East
2010 in Miami Beach, FL this coming January.

Combining TMC's powerhouse media with the award winning and practical
experience of Light and Electric will deliver a truly rich and valuable
experience for all attendees and participants.

The series of Webinars, screencasts and live sessions will address a
growing need of businesses to integrate and leverage cloud based
communications applications, process enhancement techniques, and network
based communications interfaces and architectures.

Business professionals will learn the fundamentals of cloud based
communications business models, market trends and current large efforts
and deployments. Sales teams can benefit by learning real life cloud
communications success stories and interacting with other ecosystem
members. This series of educational sessions online and at ITEXPO will
explore how communications as a service drastically lowers capital
expenditures, reduces project risks and increases service agility and
value.

Thomas Howe, CEO, Light and Electric, will be moderating the sessions
both online and at the training session at ITEXPO.

"Thomas is a foremost expert on cloud communications and there is no one
better suited to deliver the content than he," said Rich
Tehrani, TMC President. "As with the rest of the technology landscape,
there is a definite need to have more cost-effective and powerful
deployments of communications technology in the cloud. We are excited to
offer educational opportunities that help businesses become increasingly
efficient through the use of emerging technologies like cloud
communications."

"Partnering with TMC was a strategic decision based on their massive
outreach across multiple platforms. TMC is perhaps the
most respected media outlet covering communications and technology, and
provides the best outlet to reach the professionals who will benefit the
most from this exciting and fast growing area," said Howe.

The Cloud Communications Show will take place January 20-22, 2010
collocated with the ITEXPO East at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Registration for the Cloud Communications Training sessions will be
