    The Continued Rise In Cloud-Based Software

    Cloud-based software has risen considerably over the last decade, to the point where nearly every business relies on cloud-based services to run parts of their operations. One of the earliest movers in the cloud space was Salesforce.com, which aimed to unseat the likes of SAP and Oracle in the CRM market. Today, Salesforce.com has revenues of around $3 billion, 10,000 employees around the world, and a range of products beyond CRM.

    The rise in the cloud has made software less expensive and more available to everyone. Before, there would be considerable one-off expenses to integrating and deploying a new piece of enterprise software, not to mention all the risk that comes with making the wrong decision. Today, most of the fixed costs are removed, and businesses typically pay a monthly fee depending on their usage. Not only does this make the one-off costs lower, it makes software available to everyone that was previously only available to the biggest of businesses.

  • Professional Data Recovery in the Philippines that really recovers your data

    A few months ago, my hard drive crashed. It’s a WD Elements 1TB portable hard disk. I didn’t do anything, I just copied some files, then suddenly it just died of old age.

Because I’m a little bit of a “techy” myself, I attempted to recover the data in my HDD using various data recovery software.

    After being skeptical for a mere 6 months (yeah, really) of whether to buy an HP, Epson, or Konica Minolta printer, I finally decided to buy the last printer I mentioned.

  • Google Apps Free Edition is now gone…

    Google Apps Free Edition is now gone…


    Today I received an e-mail that Google Apps free edition has been discontinued. Yep, you can no longer avail the awesome services that was offered by Google Apps starting today. All sign-ups before December 6, 2012 can still enjoy the free version of the Google Apps, but sign-ups after the 6th of December should avail of the Google Apps Business Edition that costs around $50.00/year or $5.00/month.

    You can still sign-up for a free trial of Google Apps for Business, then after the free trial, you’ll need to pay $5.00/month. If you go to google.com/a where you sign-up for a free edition of Google apps, you’ll be redirected to google.com/enterprise/apps/business/ where you will be forced to sign-up for a Business edition, because you don’t have a choice.
