Technology and Business Travel – A Match Made in Heaven

This is a daily commuter routine repeated across the country. You stand waiting for the train, you quickly check your email and social media networks as you shiver on the platform. You get on the train. You respond to a few emails, ping a few messages and check your calendar on your phone just to [...]

A Whistlestop Tour of Email [INFOGRAPHIC]

There are some things that are such a big part of our lives that we take them for granted. Take email over there in the corner. Email has been a around for 40 years. But does it get any credit? Noooo. All it gets is people moaning about content, about them arriving too late or [...]

This week I am endeavoring to get the whole picture of a half. A half of a whole of something is quite a lot isn’t it? Half the world’s human population are men and the other half are women…bear with me… Let’s do the math (and this is clearly very scientifically based…or not…) from what [...]

Why We Have to Wait for the Cloud to Reach Maturity

How Visible Should IT Staff Be?

There are some kind of professionals you simply don’t want to see too often; doctors, car mechanics. You know they work day in and day out but, frankly, when you do see them it usually means a) something’s gone wrong and b) it’s going to cost you money . For many of us we see IT [...]

Flex Your Cloud Muscles

New Year – New Start. It’s the same every year, and certainly no exception as we shake off the hangover of 2012 and welcome in 2013 with all the usual resolutions. Maybe it’s to stick to that diet, plan that gym regime, quit drinking or smoking, to make more effort to see those people that [...]

Do Organisations Save Money When Moving to the Cloud?

There’s nothing worse than having to have that conversation about money borrowed or lent to a friend. Now, I don’t want to make things awkward between us but I can’t avoid it any more.
