David Diamond faced a technology crossroads of sorts a year ago.

The president and co-founder of DeAngelis Diamond Construction was looking at a $90,000 bill to upgrade the aging and unreliable computer servers at the company's Naples headquarters. “There's got to be a better way,” Diamond recalls thinking.

Diamond, who also is an active angel investor in technology companies, turned to experts from Silicon Valley to help him move the company's information technology to the cloud. “We wanted to be able to work anywhere on any device at any time,” he says.
