Cloud vs commute (No Comments »)
Businesses may want to ask themselves whether their employees would be more productive working from home via a cloud computing network.
It comes after icomplete.com‘s chief executive Stuart Hibbert claimed that ‘nobody enjoys the daily commute into an office, it wastes a hell of a lot of time and also the fuel associated with that’.
Instead, staff members might be more receptive to flexible working as a result of the cloud, but companies were also informed of the environmental and financial benefits that can be delivered.
Moving to the cloud means resources are shared, resulting in less under-utilised servers being required.
‘The cost associated with that obviously leads to less internal power requirements,’ Mr Hibbert added.
On the topic of working out of the office, 60 per cent of employees previously told a Virgin Media Business poll they would like to access cloud computing.
However, a disparity is present as only a tenth of firms have enabled this.

Why Happy Hounds chose icomplete? (No Comments »)
We run a pet care business and use icomplete to provide online calendars for our staff to keep them informed of their appointments. We had been looking for a simple and affordable system for sometime and icomplete delivered on both counts.
The system is easy to use and required little training for our staff and is reliable. In terms of costs, icomplete are very good value particularly compared to Microsoft exchange. In addition the customer service and support has been excellent, which is the exception rather than the rule theses days.
Our main contact Myles Hantler is easy to reach and responds to e-mails and messages promptly. Another great benefit for us has been the ability to make small changes to the system at no extra cost and there is the potential to make larger changes if several clients ask for it or if you re prepared to pay for it.
The mobile version has also proved very useful. All in all I would have no reservations in recommending icomplete to other users.
