Although the buzz surrounding clouds, as they relate to technology, has gotten increasingly greater recently, you still may not fully understand what it is.  Cloud computing is the means of using multiple server computers via a digital network, as though they were actually one computer.  What’s the difference between that and what people were using before?  Traditionally, without a cloud, a web server runs one single computer or a group of privately owned computers, and doesn’t allow the group of computers to act as one.

Making any more sense?  When you allow Connections for Business to handle your cloud computing in West Palm Beach, you’re giving yourself and your employees the freedom to work from anywhere!  Everything you need is instantly delivered without high upfront costs or long installation times.  Additionally, you get the flexibility of scaling to your specific needs without having to add hardware.

Regardless of the type of company you own and/or run, the benefits realized as a result of this are abundant.  With some benefits are particular to individual business needs, the two key benefits that all businesses will see are as follows:

-       No out of pocket infrastructure costs

Cloud computing in West Palm Beach doesn’t require your business to buy additional servers, hardware or networking equipment.

All Businesses Need Disaster Preparation
Interview with John Motazedi

At a recent Technology Conference in Nashville, I had the opportunity to sit down with John Motazedi of SNC Squared. John is one of our peers based in Joplin Missouri. He was at ground zero when the devastating tornados struck on May 22, 2011. Much of the town was simply leveled. However, John had his clients functioning again with no loss of data in the first 72 hours. How did he do it and what lessons can every business owner learn from John. Watch and find out!

John has three simple lessons that every business owner should know BEFORE a disaster strikes. Be sure to share this with your Operations Manager and any other team members concerned about disaster preparation.

If you are a business leader who is willing to share your vision with my viewers and have your company highlighted on The Master of Disaster, please send me a note. If you know of an outstanding organization that should be featured here, let me know.

The Master of Disaster interviews
Time Management Consultant Ken Glickman

I just got back from a conference with my peers from around the world. While there, I had the pleasure to sit down with Ken Glickman. I asked Ken how attendees to the conference could keep the momentum going once they go back to their daily grind. His answer will surprise you. In summary, you need to ask “Who are you?”; “What are you?”; “Where are you going?”; and “How will you get there?”. These answers become the blueprint for any change in your business or personal life.

If you are a business leader who is willing to share your vision with my viewers and have your company highlighted on The Master of Disaster, please send me a note. If you know of an outstanding organization that should be featured here, let me know.
