Microsoft Lync Online:
Bring Cloud messaging to your organization for only a few dollars per user!
If you’re like most businesses, you’ve already made the investment with E-Mail using Microsoft Exchange Server; you’ve purchased Microsoft Office for Outlook, Word, Excel; you may have even integrated your Smart Phone with your E-Mail box for Real-Time access.

The omniscient cloud increases its coverage a little bit every day. News reports regularly thrum with accounts of how this paradigm-shifting approach to all things computing adds to its heft in exponential increments. With Gartner reporting that emerging economies will account for about $1.01 trillion of worldwide IT spending ($3.7 trillion) in 2011, let’s have a look at how the cloud is emerging in those parts of our global village where growth is raging in all areas: China and India.

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.
Let us breathe, then, and draw in some of the new language this upheaval has brought into our revised realities. (more…)

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.

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?
In fact, the looming cloud heralding the next stage of corporate computing, the same one that’s sent nervous naysayers into all manner of anxious fits, has a broad silver lining that these fretful types probably haven’t considered. (more…)

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. Up until now, there have been; let’s call them ‘deficiencies’ in mobility management for small or medium businesses. 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’.

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.
With more and more organizations opting to store their data on cloud computing systems rather than under their own roofs, outsourcing data centres are springing up like mushrooms to answer the demand. (more…)

It’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. (more…)

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.

 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. (more…)
