Company, Technology

What does “the Cloud” mean to Microsoft Office users?

All

“The cloud” is simply a term to describe computing services that you access online via a web browser, as opposed to having the same services from a server in your office. Many people are opting to go this route as opposed to buying equipment.

There’s a Lot to an Exchange Server Upgrade

Company, Technology

One of our employees is off to Meteghan River this weekend in the beautiful (full disclosure: I’m from there) Acadian district of Nova Scotia. He is doing an Exchange Server upgrade for a client who is moving from Exchange Server 2003 to Exchange Server 2013. Simple, n’est-ce pas? Copy files from A to B and Bob’s your N’Oncle.

Customized Mobile Business Apps Gaining Popularity

Technology, Web

When we think of mobile apps, applications that work on a smartphone or tablet, we think primarily of games or downloadable versions of social media programs. The few mobile business applications we see are generic programs for such things as tracking the stock market or sales force automation.

Responsive, Adaptive or Mobile Website?

All

With the large variety of screen sizes and browser widths in use today, it’s very hard for a web designer to cater to all users using traditional design techniques. Just as screens are growing larger (with desktop displays) and smaller (with mobile computing), how do you accommodate so many vastly opposing scenarios? The fact is we live in an emerging Post-Desktop era that necessitates developing a website that considers, or even caters, to the mobile phone and tablet.

Centralize your files with a network drive

Company

It occurred to me the other day that the only reason we have a desktop computer at home is to hold digital photographs and music. With all members of the household owning laptops, this old, slow machine was taking up too much valuable real estate and something had to be done about it.
