Electrical Industry Canada and the Electrician Forum Need Your Expert Knowledge
As industry experts you know the products you use everyday better than anyone and should have input on what information you receive about products and what could improve them.
Therefore, we want your insight on the biggest challenges or issues you face when installing loadcentres, breakers (CAFI, GFI's…) and other surge protection devices.

What You Need to Know About Cloud, SaaS, and Lighting Systems
There has been a lot of talk about cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models these days but both are relatively new to the lighting industry. Let’s take a look at what they are as well as their roles in commercial lighting.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, and applications via the Internet with pay-as-you-go or subscription-based pricing. Cloud computing means that instead of all the computer hardware, software, and data that you are using sitting somewhere inside your company’s network, it’s provided and managed for you as a service by another company and you access it over the Internet.
