  Because I've moved much of my mainstream computing to the Cloud, I find I can access it from almost any PC and from my mobile phone. Having my Cloud in my phone, which can investigate Internet, is a phenomenal tool. If the Palm Pre and also the iPhone were to cooperate with my wireless service company, I would upgrade and provide up my trusty Motorola A1200.
  
  Use "The Cloud" But Backup Your Critical Data
  
  Do keep backups to your data , especially data you have to access your sites on the internet.
  
  For passwords I use Password Safe which is free from sourceforge. net. This way May possibly all my passwords in a single place. Consequently, I also have all those key sites I access within this same place. (This, I discovered, was very handy while i changed my e-mail bank account recently.) I backup that password file everyday to your Cloud using IDrive. com. I also instigate a monthly backup of the password file for a USB drive which I keep stored within a fire safe.
  
  Be Secure In "The Cloud"
  
  The scariest part of moving to the Cloud deals with the protection of your privacy with security of your information. I admit this still worries me a bit. Can I really trust Google? Or how approximately trusting QuickenOnline. com using my financial data? We hear about data breaches on a daily basis. Some hacker broke in and stole information that is personal from thousands of customers. I have been notified again that this has happened for a company with which I business. I have free consumer credit monitoring right now caused by a recent incident at an investment company.
  
  I have also been called by my traditional bank asking about charges designed to my credit card. They turned out to be fraudulent and the traditional bank removed the charges from my account. What was interesting is that i had just downloaded my current bank transactions into Accelerate. I did not discover these fraudulent charges. My partner and i immediately did another download of my bank sales. There they were, along with transactions reversing the bills. My bank had detected and responded rapidly to these illegitimate activities.
  
  
  
  What's in the cloud
  
  In comparison consider the technique of cloud computing; your business would draw up a contract with an email finder service provider who would supply you with all the necessary IT services you need to run your business including;
  
  • Functions
  
  • Software
  
  • Sales and marketing communications
  
  • Output
  
  • Web and email security
  
  • Storage
  
  • Machines
  
  • Tailor made applications
  
  This is the responsibility in the service provider and kept remotely faraway from your business.
  
  What savings?
  
  When it comes to individuals on your staff members using computers if 75 of them only use a phrase processing package then that is all you pay with regard to, if 10 of them make use of a spreadsheet package once a month that is all you cover. I think you can see where I'm going; no smoke in ones eyes.
  
  Add to this the cost savings made by not having to employ a specialist IT department, not having to pay for expensive servers or storage facilities and not having to pay for upgrading and updating software and software programs; it all adds up especially when you tie in your increased productivity.
