Cloud computing has become an integral part of modern business operations, enabling companies across various industries to leverage advanced technologies without the need for physical infrastructure.

The way businesses communicate has undergone a dramatic transformation. Gone are the days of clunky phone systems and siloed communication channels.

Today, cloud solutions are revolutionizing business communications, offering a robust and dynamic landscape for collaboration and information exchange.

It’s not an understatement to say that cloud computing has changed the way that America conducts business.

In the past, computing needs were met by bulky on-premises mainframes and later personal computers took on some tasks, but today we're witnessing a shift towards the cloud, where massive data centers house these resources and make them readily available over the internet.

GoTo, the folks behind the GoTo Connect cloud phone system and virtual meeting platform, has launched a new mobile device management solution that allows IT teams to secure, set up, and manage company-owned and BYOD devices.

The mobile device management (MDM) unveiled in June 2023 pairs with GoTo Resolve (formerly known as GoToAssist), unified remote monitoring and management (RMM), and remote access IT support software.

The analog landline phone system of any school has long been an unsung hero toiling selflessly in the background of a typical day. Parents use the phone to tell the staff if their children are ill or will be missing school for some other reason.

Many companies have been integrating their operations with cloud services and cloud platforms, dramatically gaining advantages over cost and infrastructure that otherwise would have cost millions of dollars using traditional IT architecture. However, while the cloud has definitely become a standard resource applied for scalability, cost control, easier access to enterprise-style tools and easier communication, the use of the cloud can actually obscure business growth more if not planned correctly.

If you are old enough the term “cloud computing” may conjure up images of somebody shouting “get your head out of the clouds” after catching a co-worker daydreaming at their desk.

The reality of 2022, however, is that a lot of our work is actually being done “in the cloud” and if your business doesn’t have its "head in the clouds", it might be drifting away from the competition.

Mother nature has always been an unpredictable force. In recent decades, however, the inclement weather -- from wildfires and flooding to hurricanes and tornados -- has played a significant role in the loss of productivity, data and other elements that are vital when it comes to keeping a business competitive. 

“The cloud” is a popular term used in the tech industry. You may have heard tech companies saying data is in the cloud, or someone can work in the cloud. They are not referring to the beautiful, white, fluffy formations seen in the sky. The data is not actually in the natural clouds found in the sky, but in terrestrial places.

For many businesses, growth is a desirable, yet challenging, goal to achieve. Not simply in terms of acquiring and retaining staff and customers, but also when it comes to researching and investing in the tools that support that growth. Potholes and pain points appear: To accommodate more clients, you need to invest in more powerful business applications and tools. To maintain profitability, you need both cutting-edge programs and high-quality talent – often on a shoestring budget.
