Remember those SAT questions: a bat at a ball like a shoe is a ____? Well, much as we hated them, he let me use to explain the cloud (or Software as a Service SAAS) and how it may change the way you work. Here goes:
Cloud computing is on your desktop as a mobile phone is a landline phone.
We (okay most of us) is to remember what was working before cell phones. Running .. run for phone on his desk, ran to get your voice mail or a duration of a phone in the airport at the moment you step off the plane. Cell phones freed us to be attached to the office. You can work from anywhere, anytime. And for users of smartphones, that e-mails, calendars and contacts with you at all times. Yes, his omnipresence, but none of us wants to return.
But for all this freedom, which are always accompanied of our desktops and servers. The programs we use every day, our Word documents and records, accounts, contacts … the list is long. phone users Smart will enable you to access your calendar and contacts, but I bet you always had that "oh no" moment in which he had to run to the office (or computers personal for people who work at home) to get the file, Word document, pull bill, etc. You can use a program like PC Anywhere to connect to desktop your laptop, but its slow and limited.
Cloud computing simply means using the Web program to replace the programs you use to download to your computer. You can, safely and secure management of an office or organization of any computer or laptop anywhere. Accounting email customer management, Word documents, regardless of file sharing … you need.
Here is a list of Q & A that addresses the concerns I have heard many:
Q: Is it safe? and is it safe?
A: Yes, companies that manage housing programs His cloud of comprehensive information on the mega farms. Your data is encrypted (distort the data to be unusable to anyone but you) automatic backup and mirror in two places the country (for example, if an earthquake in CA, your data is good and in New York). Security? yes.as secure credit card ordering on Amazon. And most insurance if not more, than the type of firewall built into the server .. and certainly safer than portable.
Q: Is "The programs of the clouds" as good as the ones I use?
A: Of course. Here are examples:
- ThinkFree to replace Microsoft Word. Creating and editing a Word document, save it and find it from any computer, laptop or smart phone.
- Skype need nothing more to say
- QuickBooks accounting clarity or online. I've been using QuickBooks Online for four years, has been incorporated into my bank accounts, establish my tax payments and added my CPA as a limited user. I can generate an invoice to pay my sales tax, generate a report and send a payment in my time.
- Management Office: InfoStreet What follows is much easier and smarter desktop tools I've ever seen. "StreetSmart is a Web software that helps you to manage your small business effectively. It allows you and your team to manage projects, e-mail, potential customers, employees, calendars and other core using a simple web browser and an Internet connection and does so with as little as $ 10 per month user.
P. I spent so much money already and took days to put in place. I don''t have the time or the budget to change it.
R: Cloud computing will reduce their operating costs and technical support, elimination of licensing fees for their programs, IT hours required to maintain all this, plus the cost of hardware. Know that the days of downloading programs, hoping that your server will not crash while doing so, worrying if these programs work in the operating system if it is Microsoft Vista, XP, 2003, 2004, 2007 or what to do with MAC users.
cloud computing programs work on the web: no matter what operating system you use and run on any PC or MAC!
And my friends from Florida hurricanes to remember 2007? How many of you are unemployed until his office has obtained a standby power. With cloud computing, will work from anywhere you have power. And not only …. with tools like Skype and Infostreet, all employees can be your home, or outside City Starbucks.
For those who are reluctant to adopt the clouds, I think the next time you answer your cell phone instead of running to grab your landline phone.
