What Happens if the Cloud Crashes?
May 14th, 2012Hosted Exchange – Helping you Become an Entrepreneur
May 11th, 2012It’s that time of year again when 12 idiots, err… I mean future business leaders, unleash themselves on an unsuspecting UK TV audience and agree to take part in one of my favourite television programmes of all time, The Apprentice. I can’t deny it; I absolutely love everything about it. From the unbelievably bias editing [...]
Cloud Services for the Novice
May 7th, 2012Novice is such a fantastic word; kindly, avuncular and incredibly descriptive in itself. In my mind, it evokes images of wide-eyed, hungry to learn students arriving on their first day of university, bespectacled and laden with weighty tomes, signing up to every society going in order to enjoy the true university experience. While in reality [...]
How the Death Star could have been saved, if only they had Cloud Computing
May 4th, 2012Happy Star Wars Day. Inevitably on special days like this one we think of what might have been. How if one tiny piece of the jigsaw had been changed, the whole outcome might have been very different. Consider, for a moment, if the Empire had used Cloud Computing, for example. The progress of the Death [...]
Kitting Out Your Virtual Office
April 30th, 2012What technology has done is give us another office. We have the tangible office, the one where we work, arrive every morning and place our computer, filing cabinet and so forth.

How the Cloud Boosts Business Collaboration
April 23rd, 2012What difference could it make to your business if you could talk to clients all over the world, face to face?

The Idiot’s Guide to Hosted Exchange Part Four –
How Does Hosted Exchange Actually Work?
April 20th, 2012
Hosted exchange you say? Instantly flashbacking to my school French exchange visit and all my memories are flooding back. Ah! Those were the days! There we were, a group of rowdy young English school pupils eagerly sent off to France to be hosted by local families, completely unaware of what they were letting themselves in [...]
Are You Afraid of the Cloud?
April 16th, 2012Like with many discussions, there are two sides of the fence when it comes to the Cloud. On one side are the advocates. They might be IT-re-sellers introducing their clients to the software and practice; they might be SME owners who have made the jump to streamline their business and cut IT costs. However there [...]

- Advanced Security
April 13th, 2012
I miss his letters, you know the ones; full of hope and love, promises of a successful future and all the money you can imagine in the world. Such beautifully written words and sentiments.
