Cloud Cuts CarbonFriday, November 18th, 2011
We’ve said it before and we will again. Cloud computing is a saviour of sorts—and for more than just your bottom line and overtaxed systems. No, cloud computing has a larger calling than that. One might even say that cloud computing is poised to deliver the world to a finer place, one in which waste and excess are recalled as sins of a more reckless age. With this communal data-storage marvel, the carbon emissions that would otherwise be sent heavenward from a churning-away corporate entity can be slashed meaningfully, and the world thus scores a significant reduction to its reliance on carbon.

The Silver Lining Around Apple’s iCloudWednesday, October 26th, 2011
Apples recent public release of IOS5 and iCloud has been widely anticipated for quite some time. Yes…I know; “it’s not iPhone5″ you might say, but it is still a move forward in the Apple world and worth investigating.

As with all things cloud, we are now one step closer to the technology utopia that we are all secretly dreaming about. Utopia may not be attainable, but I am tired of being plagued with evil thoughts when it comes to any sentence containing the words ‘iPhone’, ‘backup’, or ‘centralized’. Even now ‘iCringe’.

There’s Safety in the Cloud After AllFriday, October 7th, 2011It’s not unheard of, the idea of people embracing the very thing that once sent them into spirited flight. Consider the broccoli example. Consider, too, the very prickly subject of cloud security, heretofore much maligned for its apparently inherently contained contradiction but, in a recent show of enlightenment, perhaps rewritten as saviour rather than villain. Big Picture Author In this Wall Street Journal article, a big-picture pundit introduces the extraordinary idea that the cloud may in fact be the safest place to store our data, the deafening cries that have long argued the opposite notwithstanding.

10 Things You Need to Know About PSOs, PSAs and CRMsWednesday, September 28th, 2011 10 Things you need to know about PSOs 1. The global PSA software market will hit a staggering $7.63 billion by the year 2017, according to new research from Global Industry Analysts, Inc. The news is surprising, considering the hit this market took during the recent global economic dip, as those companies purchasing such products opted to hold back their purse in infrastructure-enhancing purchases. 2. The tide is turning on this front in a significant way. Indeed, PSA software suites are increasingly emerging as bona-fide recession-proofers for corporate IT department principals inside professional services organizations anxious not to suffer the same shortfalls again.

Definition is starting to emerge in the skies with the establishment of a set of standards seeking to best facilitate its adoption. Will they eliminate the confusion that currently shrouds the stuff? It’s a subject that’s scored a whack of attention from folks anxious to corral usability within manageable parameters.

Sometimes, a revolution takes hold of a situation with such commanding force and resolve that its witnesses are barely able to catch their breath in the maelstrom—let alone get a handle on the terminology. So it has been with the all-consuming and increasingly endowed miracle that is the cloud.
Enough with the bad news already. Enough with the plummeting TSX and the tumbling dollar and the soaring despair. What happened to the good stuff, anyway?
According to clean tech market research and consulting firm Pike Research, the delirious reassignment of corporations’ computing operations from in-house equipment to the cloud could well prove a boon to more than just the bottom line of the business in question.
It’s been said that there are only two things we as individuals can be certain of in life; death and taxes. From a business perspective, it’s clear we can also be certain about the ever changing face of technology. The life cycle of technology seems to be getting shorter. User demands continue to rise, new devices are being released at exponential rates, and software vendors spend more time talking about the next version than they do about the product that’s currently available; in an effort to start the process all over again.
