Head in The Cloud

Its often hard for a busy entrepreneur or a small business to focus on technology - they are too busy focusing on core parts of the job.  However, sometimes it pays (literally - in terms of cost saving) to consider what new technologies are available to help a business plan and execute.

'The Cloud' is becoming important.  it is now possible to run quite a lot of technical services at low cost, with almost no in-house expertise, by 'plugging into' services 'out there' (or 'up there').

Google Docs is just one example.  Free (or very low cost) word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software along with free storage.

Must be worth a look?

You're right, John. It's worth the time to take a look at the new technologies. Folks can head over to www.microsoft.com\cloud and see what this is all about. Thanks for your blog post.
