OK, I’ll admit it. I love cloud storage. Not huge, datacentre style stuff, just simple stuff like Dropbox. Why? Well, mostly because it makes keeping things available on all devices a lot easier, and honestly, it makes me way more productive. In fact, it makes employees as a whole way more productive. So why aren’t more organizations touting these solutions? Continue reading

After spending several hours this weekend formatting and reinstalling my Linux distribution on my laptop, I came to realize something. If it wasn’t for cloud-based services, it would have been a lot more painful. Between my cloud-based email client and dropbox account, I was back up and running in no time.

So why aren’t organizations using an enterprise solution for the same purpose, such as the latest release from OpenText, Tempo? Continue reading

All of a sudden DLP cannot be ignored anymore, it’s become a critical part of the new cloud landscape. Continue reading
