PostsWeb Hosting Recommendations 22nd February 2012 8:37 PM Sorry to dig up and old post, but incase anyone else is still looking for a decent host, I can recommend Netwise Hosting, they are reliable and have a really solid infrastructure. We were also really impressed with their support, well worth a look.  Cloud CRM Solution - Anyone else gone this way? 21st February 2012 6:14 PM Hi diggersjohn33, We use both Office 365 and Dynamics CRM, we are an IT company and we often have Engineers on sites etc and this gives us a great flexible way of quickly adding extra people e.g. outside contractors. Also we have saved a fortune on hardware costs, and migrated most of our servers (Exchange, SharePoint, Lync) to the the cloud. Obviously we are techies so its been a lot easier for us, we have been so impressed with the systems that we became Microsoft partners and took the necessary steps to become Microsoft cloud partners so we can resell and provide consulting services to others, since we had lots of hands on experience with the system. For Office 365 I think 30 day trails are enough to have a play with it, but I think its better looking at a demo that is already up and running we tend to show our clients our demos, since you can't put easily put their trials into production for only 30 days! It involves pointing the domains. With Dynamics, I think you need to have a demo set up as its a big product with lots of integration, you'd be hard pushed to do anything useful with it in a trial with out the help from an experienced consultant.  2012 - Will this be a year for growth for your business? 20th February 2012 1:32 PM “Well if you can launch and survive in this climate, you will fly when conditions get better!” I couldn't put it any better  We are in the same situation, our business was born from the result of a redundancy pay off from a large bank right in the middle of the credit crunch! And we have launched and survived, and I think we will be stronger for it, we don't know any different conditions, as owners and directors of a business anyway! Twitter makeover, what do you think? 17th February 2012 9:14 AM I am also guilty of hardly ever actually logging into twitter, we have ours linked to our Facebook page, which is really active so we just push everything from there, so its been a long time since I actually logged in, I really need to sort some customization, as we have neglected it! Any tips for the background sizes?! |
