<![CDATA[Bison I.T Solutions - Blog]]>Sat, 11 Dec 2010 11:01:47 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[Webware On-line Software]]>Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:28:12 -0800http://www.bisonithelp.com/1/post/2010/06/webware-on-line-software.html Have you every thought, gee it would be great if I could organise my business, have access to my contacts and business info securely anywhere via the internet, on my mobile, PDA, or laptop and not have to worry about backups or computer crashes?. Well now you can, more an more business are switching to on-line software or webware for their business needs.





So what are the differences between webware and traditional software packages, well webware is normally done as a Saas (Software As A Service Model) which means instead of paying hefty upfront fees for software licences to be installed on your computer you pay a small pay as you go rental fee for using the software per month. This is also generally based on the number of users, data storage and the number features that you require in the software.





There are many vendors out there at the moment who can provide virtually any software that you need and use currently on your desktop such as accounting, e-mail, CRM(Customer Relationship Management), Office Suite Applications, Project management, video conferencing, database, web page design and much more.





But what about security of my information on-line?. Well most of these applications allow you to connect to them via a secure connection and also require a user name and password. Some also even allow users rights management for example you may want staff to have a certain access level, managers on level and customers another level.





So in summary what are the benefits of going to Webware:





      1. Greatly Reduced Software Costs.

      2. No need to worry about backing up your information in most cases.

      3. Access your information 24/7 anywhere in the world via the internet. From you mobile phone, PDA, laptop

      4. No need to install software on your computer.

      5. Less hard disk drive space is used on you computer as not applications are installed and most storage of documents and files is off site and not on your computer.

      6. As the software is web based there is no need to worry about your software not working on different Operating Systems such as Apple, Windows, Linux etc.

      7. You can significantly reduce your time and travelling costs be using web conferencing software.

      8. You can significantly reduce your time and travelling costs be using on-line training software.





So where can I see samples of Web Ware in Action:





  1. Bison IT Webware

    On-line training, custom on-line databases, custom DIY web sites. CRM(Customer Relationship Management)

  2. 37signals

    On-line CRM(Customer Relationship Management), Project management, Groups etc.

    Spreadsheets, e-mail, word processing and document storage

  4. DabbleDb

    On-line database

  5. Infodome

    On-line database

  6. Sugar CRM

    On-line CRM (Customer Relationship Management)Software

Web ware is every where and as internet speeds increase across the globe this is a massive emerging trend in how we use software.




It would be great to hear who has used web ware, what your experiences have been so far and if you think it was worth changing to web ware over traditional desktop software, please let us know by leaving comments on this article as it would be great to see what everyone thinks aboitu this type of software.

The company behind the innovative range of Powermat cordless inductive charging devices has flagged plans to launch the products in Australia.

Powermat chargers (pictured) allow users to charge battery-powered devices such as iPhones and other mobile phones, Nintendo DS units, Sony PlayStation Portables, netbooks and laptops and more, by simply attaching a ‘receiver’ device to the device and then putting it on top of the charging mat.

The devices launched last year in the US and are now coming to Australia, according to an invitation – “Powermat is launching in Australia” — sent to journalists last week. The launch event will be on 25 March.

No pricing details were immediately available, but Powermat’s statement noted journalists at the launch would have the chance to win a Powermat valued at $199. In the US the devices launched for the price of $99.99, plus another $40 for each receiving attachment that connects to your mobile devices.

Close IE

Open Adobe Reader as an application from the start menu

Under the Edit menu, select Preferences

Under the internet category, uncheck the first option "Display PDF in browser".

This will cause the pdf file to download and new window to open whenever you click on a PDF file (you may have to click the OK to download to allow the PDF file to download), but you should be able to save.

I found that some websites would not allow the file to download even though I clicked the OK to download button.  For those websites, I had to change the setting back to open in browser.  Also for those websites, the save button works.  Rather inconvenient if you go between the two websites.

Free Computer Tips
If you have Windows XP it has built in remote access software that helps you connect to a friends computer, by invitation, to help them by taking remote access control of their computer system. This means you could be in the USA and be helping your friend in Australia to find a solution to his or her computer problems. The technology to gain remote access to basically anyone's computer is available on most computer users start menu. I regularly give my friends computer support from the comfort of my own home.

What you need to use the Help and Support tool to gain remote access

1. An broadband or cable internet connection.
2. Windows Xp on both computers
3. An email address or be signed into Windows 4. Live messenger.

The easiest way to connect

It is very easy to connect two computers over the internet. One computer can take control and fix problems on the other computer. Following these steps to use the Help and support software that is built in to Windows.

1. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger and have your friend do the same thing.
2. Go to the start menu and choose Help and Support (shown below) Just the computer user that wants to invite does this.

Reasons to use Windows remote help and support

--Your problem is so minor, you do not want to bother an IT support person.

--You cannot afford an It technician, and your know a computer whiz..

--You have already rang software support or your internet service provider and they could not help

--You constantly need desktop computer help and using remote access software is easy!!


Notes:

--If you close the Remote Assistance Window it will disconnect. And you will have to start your remote access again if you want to connect.

--Don't worry if it is a bit slow because that is normal. The speed of your remote access depends on your speed of both internet connections.

--You can also connect using an email address. The invitation is sent through email.

Until recently, job searching was fairly simple. You scanned the classified pages of your local newspaper. You chatted with family, friends, acquaintances, and you asked for recommendations. When you found a lead, you mailed in a resume and cover letter, crossed your fingers, and waited for the phone to ring.

To put it mildly, things have changed. Most job opportunities aren’t listed in the classified pages anymore. Your cookie-cutter resume and cover letters no longer cut it. And on top of all that, today’s job market is tough, the worst since the Great Depression.

The old places people used to look for jobs, like newspaper ads, are dying. Even the online employment sites you might know about, like Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com or HotJobs, are a dead end for most people. Here’s why:

The job often doesn’t exist. The job listings at these big-name employment sites are stale. They’re often copied directly from company Web sites or internal applicant tracking systems, which are chronically out-of-date. Worse, many employers post phantom jobs at these sites, simply to harvest resumes and fill their applicant database. Employers perpetuate this jobs treadmill because it’s cheaper than hosting job fairs or hiring recruiters. And the Web sites are happy to play along, because

I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them. Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into "widgets," "gadgets," mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.

What Does This Mean? You may recognize the universal feed icon or these "chicklets" from your favorite websits, blogs, and podcasts. These icons represent content in any format - text, audio or video - to which you can subscribe and read/watch/listen using a feed reader. What's that?

Why is This a Good Thing? Technology evolution in online publishing has made it really easy to not only publish regular updates to web-based content, but also keep track of a large number of your favorite websites or blogs, without having to remember to check each site manually or clutter your email inbox. You can now streamline your online experience by subscribing to specific content feeds and aggregating this information in one place to be read when you're ready.
