Cloud computing is not pie in the sky. It offers tangible benefits that real-world businesses need to meet the demands?and take advantage of the opportunities?of today?s instrumented, interconnected and intelligent world. As the world grows smarter, cloud computing offers a variety of ways for small and midsize organizations to work more efficiently and more productively?simultaneously saving money and enhancing business and IT operations. A new article from eMazzanti Technologies, an IT support and computer consultant serving the Hoboken, NJ and New York City markets, is available free at: http://bit.ly/A7zFYE.

?It?s important to bring cloud computing down to earth with specific solutions for small and medium business,? said Jennifer Mazzanti, president, eMazzanti Technologies. ?Once you get specific, companies can, in most instances, save money and build their businesses at the same time.?

The article entitled: ?Look to the cloud to save money and build business? goes on to explore several ways cloud computing can deliver these benefits:

Scannx LLC, a leading developer of cloud-based document capture and document delivery services, announced today that it will be demonstrating its cloud-based SCAN-TO-FAX service on its Scannx Book ScanCenter, in Booth #2124 at the American Library Association Conference in Dallas, Texas, on January 20 – 23, 2012. Attendees who come by the booth for a demo can also register to win an iPad 2.

The Scannx Book ScanCenter, the next generation in self-service book scanning solutions, can scan and send book pages, documents, and photos to Email, USB, iPhone, iPad, Google Docs, and printer as well as to any fax number in the U.S., Europe and Canada. The Scannx Book ScanCenter is the first such system to offer public and university libraries the opportunity to fax documents through its integrated cloud service, Scannx Cloud Services. It replaces both a copier and fax machine. Fax transmissions are confirmed back to the sender?s Email address.

?The benefit of our cloud-based scan-to-fax service is our broad range of features and pricing for users and companies – from single users, through small businesses and up to enterprise customers.?, said John C. Dexter, president and COO of Scannx. ? Regardless of your organization?s size, Scannx Cloud Fax services saves you time and money, increases productivity, and offers the convenience and range of enterprise-grade cloud fax services to both small and large companies alike.?

Scannx can also configure its systems to work with self-service, high-speed document scanners for placement in hotels, airports, business centers, libraries, coffee shops and retail centers. Scannx Cloud Services can be integrated with debit/credit card payment systems for pay-per-fax transactions.

Scannx? executive management team has over fifteen years? experience in document imaging, developing book and document scanning solutions for Fortune 500 companies. However, with the emergence of widespread cloud computing services, Scannx saw an opportunity to bring Scannx Cloud Services to the self-service scan, copy and fax markets. The Scannx team proceeded to develop new software that leverages the very powerful cloud-based image processing, forms recognition, and workflow software that clients would find cost-prohibitive to run on a PC based system.

The Scannx ScanCenter includes a 15? touchscreen computer bundled with the Scannx Capture and Cloud Services, connected to a book or document scanner. The Book ScanCenter also offers an optional 45 page per minute automatic document feeder (ADF) for high speed scanning of documents. All systems are covered by a 1 year manufacturer?s warranty.

MEZZI, world-renowned briefcase manufacturer, has increased its internet presence by launching company profiles and giving news updates on two popular social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter. Already pushing the limits of internet-savviness with the recent release of their auction-style shopping opportunities, MEZZI is using social networking sites to connect personally with its customers.

“Having a strong presence on sites like Facebook and Twitter is a logical step for any business serious about keeping their customers informed and excited about their products,” says MEZZI President David Mezzi. Recently, MEZZI launched a unique promotion on Twitter for which they awarded a random “follower” a $ 100 website credit when the company’s page reached 300 followers.

There is no question that Facebook and Twitter have solidified their places in today’s culture. Facebook boasts over 500 million active users, with more than 50% of those users logging into their accounts on a given day. It is also estimated that people spend 700 billion minutes every month on Facebook. Twitter accounts have risen to almost 200 million, and, on average, roughly 300,000 new users sign up to “tweet” each day. Additionally, on Twitter.com users are tweeting 65 million times a day.

“Doing business in today’s instant cyber-climate is really about going to where your customers spend their time,” says Mezzi, “and they spend their time socially networking. MEZZI’s presence on Facebook and Twitter gives people an opportunity to connect with our company more easily and more frequently.”

MEZZI makes access to its Facebook and Twitter pages easy by prominently placing links to their social network pages on the footer of its home page. Also on the home page are links displaying the current bid for items ending soon on MEZZI’s unique auction system. Shoppers have been able to save over 50 percent off retail prices through the Auctions page.

Capitalizing on social media outlets can also create more business. Studies have shown that every Facebook wall post generates at least one website impression, and a company can expect to earn, on average, about $ 3.60 in new business for each person who “likes” their fan page.

MEZZI has already gained many dedicated fans and followers because of its high-profile presence in major motion pictures like “Mission: Impossible III,” on NBC’s hit game show, “Deal or No Deal” and the network’s television show, “Chuck.” In addition to selling a wide variety of briefcases, MEZZI also offers laptop cases, gun cases, art portfolio cases, travel cases, makeup cases, business card cases, CD storage cases, memory card cases and tool cases.

For more information about MEZZI or to see its full line of affordable, high-quality cases, visit http://www.MEZZI.com. Or check them out on Facebook and Twitter.

About MEZZI

There is no denying the power of marketing with social media in this day and age but it?s very important to understand exactly why this is such a powerful marketing platform. According to Gary Vaynerchuk, author of Crush It!, ?Social media is bringing business back to small town ?rules?- even in the biggest of urban communities. Word of mouth is more powerful than ever.? He also stated ?brands can now reach a customer on a deep personal level that hasn?t really been possible before and the customers will respond?businesses and brands are being humanized.? According to Mia Davies, what social media makes possible for business is to establish a brand identity that engages customers so much that they naturally take action on the brand?s behalf. This is what is happening for business when this approach is done effectively.

As Mia Davies points out, ?The fact that YouTube has become the second largest search engine on the Internet is a clear indicator of the demand for online video.? According to SocialMediaObservatory.com, online video is the single most powerful way to communicate on the Internet. Additionally, YouTube?s most recent statistics indicate that over 3 billion videos are watched every day on Youtube alone. The problem is that most small business owners, including San Diego business owners, don?t know how to properly use YouTube marketing to attract and retain more local customers to their business, so they never capitalize on this powerful free marketing strategy.

To learn more about marketing with social media with Mia Davies, see her live in San Diego at the grand opening of the The San Diego Business Experts. The San Diego Business Experts is an organization in which members have access to weekly networking opportunities and social media marketing classes. Attendees at this event will learn social media marketing strategies for YouTube and FaceBook specifically. Details for the kick off event of the San Diego Business Experts are as follows: On January 31, 2012 from 6pm to 9pm at The Dana Hotel, 1710 West Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109. In order to get a complimentary ticket to the event, interested participants must register at: http://www.SDBusinessEvents.com . Those that are not in the San Diego area can learn more about marketing with social media from Mia Davies at http://www.miadavies.com/4-steps-to-social-media-success/. There are numerous resources online but as Mia points out, ?The key when marketing with social media is to keep it simple, consistent and focus on offering value to your target audience. As long as you stick to what is proven to work in social media you will most likely have success but it never hurts to get the step-by-step training from other?s who have paved the way.?

About Mia Davies

Mia Davies (http://www.MiaDavies.com/in-the-news/) has a mission to empower entrepreneurs to leverage technology to get their message out to the world through social media and internet marketing.

Today?s job market is tough, not just for prospective employees, but for employers as well. Recent studies show that it takes 100 or more applicants to find one qualified candidate. Finding the time to sift through all of the paperwork and emails is one luxury (and skill) few small businesses have these days.

“In response to our clients? frustration over this “resu-mess,” says Ira Wolfe, President of Success Performance Solutions, “we are very excited to introduce Prevue APS Pro.”

Prevue APS Pro is a modern, affordable and easy-to-use applicant processing system. It allows small businesses to screen employees faster and hire smarter. This innovative software includes a company career site for applicants to upload resumes, complete applications, submit other job-related information, and more. More importantly, businesses have the ability to qualify candidates using customized job and skill specific questions to weed out the mismatches and duds with a minimum of time and effort.

“Without an APS,” Perfect Labor Storm 2.0 author Wolfe asserts, “small companies tend to avoid using multiple social networking sites like Craigslist, Facebook,and LinkedIn and limit advertising on traditional job boards to curtail the influx of resumes. This is a no-win strategy especially when recruiting skilled workers.? Prevue APS Pro allows even the smallest business, who often don’t even have a full time human resources person on staff, to cast the widest recruitment net possible. Companies can also post jobs on nearly a dozen job boards for free and still view all the applicants through one centralized dashboard.

Prevue APS Pro also eliminates wasted time spent on chasing and interviewing unqualified candidates, reducing the cost to hire (estimated to be nearly $ 3,500 per employee according to Bersin & Associates) and improving the quality of hire significantly. It is easily accessible from any computer, available to job applicants and employers 24/7. There is no software to purchase or install.

Prevue APS Pro has been used to recruit all types of positions including Sales professionals, C-level executives, administrative assistants, accountants, customer services representatives, managers, and more. As an added benefit, Prevue APS Pro includes the option to screen candidates with Prevue pre-employment assessments.

Reseller and business partner programs are also available for recruiters, staffing agencies, and human resource consultants.

Benefits of Cloud Computing Business Software

Article by Hugh McInnes

Cloud computing is in the news recently as a possible benefit to aging computer infrastructure. Cloud computing essentially means that all aspects of a computer, such as databases, networks, servers, information, applications, services, data and storage is contained within a nebulous, Internet server provided by a computer company. In other words, everything within a computer conventionally will be found within a cloud of data when the computer connects to the internet. For example, a business or an individual’s financial records could be found in a file on a computer or in a computer database. Instead, that database and records are stored within a cloud and can be accessed through a person or business computer, phone, or tablet. Although it might sound scary that all information found on a personal computer or in a server could hypothetically be in a cloud, there are several benefits to such a system. One is that this system is cheaper and more efficient to implement. To meet the requirements of businesses and consumers, computer and internet infrastructure would have to be increased to allow many more businesses, especially around the world, to compete and grow. However, cloud computing can cut the costs immensely by having one server store data and programs within one space for multiple people and businesses. Another benefit is mobility. Because the internet is required to access any piece of information a business or person has in the cloud, a mobile device can give an individual complete access to their work, servers, and programs. An entire office space might not be needed because workers could work for their company off a tablet in smaller offices. Electricity and server costs are minimal if all information is stored on cloud computing instead of computers. A mobile phone or a tablet can allow businesses to move and work on the go, allowing for increased mobility and reducing work space. Further, information and data put into the cloud is heavily monitored by the provider of the server. Say a computer company provides cloud computing to businesses and individuals. That computer company will have the staff that carefully monitor security threats, back-up all data, reduce any data redundancies that slows down the system, and work with a business or individual directly with their unique problems or concerns. If security concerns are still important for a client, many computer companies can help install private cloud computing server. Private cloud computing would only be accessible by the individual or business. The cloud would not incorporate data from the entire server since only one unique server is created for that company or individual. The benefits of a cloud are still in place for that business or individual with this private server, such as reduced work space and less technological capital required at work. Another benefit is that immense amounts of data that can be placed within a cloud. Because the cloud business software is based within the internet, no physical amount of data space is required. What is meant by this is that a server requires aspects like memory to hold every piece of data a company might have. However, with cloud computing, a company or individual may place as much data as they want into the cloud. There are no limitations to what amount of information, programs, applications, or services can be placed within the cloud by a person. Although there are still concerns with cloud computing, the benefits it has with consumers and businesses are immense. With cut costs, saved space and new innovative ways to perform work, cloud computing may help many people compete in the 21st century economy.

6 Simple Ways To Put A Computer Technician Out Of Business

Article by Josh Sommers

I got to thinking today about my job, career, life or whatever you want to call it. I’m a computer consultant/technician or as most would call me, a bona fide geek. I do mostly house calls and business disasters, but I’ll build a website here and there. But that does not matter here, what I am getting at is that there are so many computers out there that have problems that they should not be having, and it is simply because most people are not educated in general maintenance and prevention. I suppose I’m the same way with my truck as most people are with their computers. The mechanic says “You need to change your oil every 5,000 miles,” “Flush your air conditioning fluids every 30,000 miles” and “Don’t do doughnuts in my parking lot…” wait, the last one was the police report, not the mechanic, anyway, you see my point. Without basic knowledge of how things work, how can we possibly prevent disasters? Well, we do change our oil every so often, and we do flush our AC fluids, and as far as my parole officer knows I no longer rip up the parking lot, but my point is someone had to let us know the basics! So here goes.

Computers need a few basic things to run, and a few more to run smoothly. Let’s talk about the “more” aspect. When you buy a computer you get an operating system, like Windows XP or Vista. (Yea, I’m leaving the rest out for now, because you non-windows people don’t suffer nearly as much as the rest of us do!) That’s great and all, but they tell us we need a firewall, and AntiVirus, and Spyware prevention, and pop-up blockers, and the list goes on! Well they are right. As unfair as it sounds, you do need all of those things! Fortunately there are free options to nearly everything you are “required” to have. So instead of writing some ridiculously long article let’s just nail them one by one and I’ll tell you the free or open source alternative.

You Need:

Anti-Virus Software: AVGFree is a free alternative.

Anti-Spyware: Spybot Search and Destroy is a free alternative.

Popup Blocker: The Google Toolbar is a free alternative.

Firewall: Windows XP and Windows Vista have built in firewalls, but they do need a little bit of configuration for them to work properly. This means you probably already have one, but it’s just not setup correctly.

Spam Filter: There are so many free email programs out there that do amazing jobs at blocking spam that this is nearly obsolete, but just to name my favorite you should sign up with Gmail immediately. They have an amazing spam filter built into their free service. If spam is still an issue for you, tell all your friends that you are signing up for Gmail. Seriously, get with the times.

Anonymity and unnecessary file cleaners: CCleaner is an amazing, free, tool that not only removes tons of unnecessary junk that accumulates over time. It also removes your “Internet tracks.” This means no one can easily look at exactly what you have been doing. (Looking for a new job while at work? Cover those tracks! Looking for a new, um, well you pretty much know what most people want to remove from their computer so I don’t think I even need to type it.)

Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to get across is that keeping a computer running smoothly (and most importantly without spending any additional money) is the same to me as keeping my truck on the road is to my mechanic. (Though I don’t think he can control my urge to drive on the sidewalk.)Don’t panic, you can install all of those programs I listed there by yourself and there are plenty of people out there that will help you do it if you can’t. Honestly, I would probably be out of work if every computer had those programs installed by default. Almost all of my clients are computer owners that would be fine if they just knew the basics, or in this case, simply installed the basics!

You don’t need qualifications to start a business (you own it, so you are ‘employing’ yourself, as it were). What you need is experience and drive.
And cash. Or someone to give you the money.

What You Need Before You Start Your Own Computer Business

You’ve got the skills necessary to maintain a small business network. And you’ve even got a little bit of start-up cash. But you’re wondering if it’s enough. What exactly do you need to start your own computer business?

Are certifications absolutely necessary? Will you have to invest in expensive equipment or software? Will you need to borrow some capital to get started?

My answer to these question is you really don’t need very much at all. In fact, the new technology available today makes it incredibly easy to offer extremely reliable, very profitable maintenance services using inexpensive, or even completely free software.

The days of  jumping from one crisis to the next, relying on enough problems to occur during the month so you can pay the bills are long gone… The profitable model of providing IT Support is to offer on-going managed solutions to small businesses at a flat-rate.

This basically means you prevent problems from affecting your small business clients… before disaster strikes.

So, the short answer is if you can maintain a small business computer network, then you’ve got what it takes to start your own computer business, easily one of the best IT Employment career choices you can make.

With this said, of course, more certifications and training means you can offer more solutions to your clients. So, while certifications aren’t absolutely necessary to get your business running, continued training can only serve to improve the level of service you can provide.

On of the best parts of running your own business is you get to choose exactly what you want to become an expert in. Rather than being forced into a role as an employee or as part of larger team, when you’re the boss, you call the shots.

On top this, another bit of advice for when you’re just starting out is to partner with an established IT firm or another experienced computer consultant.

This way, if you find yourself faced with a problem that seems to be beyond your abilities to resolve, or if you just find yourself with a temporary work-overload, you have another professional you can bring in to assist. You can then arrange a referral fee or even just pass along your fee to your partner. This way, the client remains happy and you’re still perceived as the professional support provider that your client knows they can count on, no matter what the issue.

The point is that you do need to be competent… but you DON’T need to be the world’s most qualified expert. There are always ways to make up for where your expertise might be lacking.

Now, what about funding? What do you need to buy to start your business?

Sure, you do need some money. You’re running a business after all. There are basic expenses you will need to cover.

First, you’ll need to consider your basic living expenses. Depending on your prospecting strategy and your plan for getting your clients, it might take some time before you have the client base you need to generate the basic income you need to pay your bills.

On top of your regular living expenses, the largest investment you’ll need to make (other than a car if that’s one of your requirements for getting to your customers) would be a laptop computer with broadband Internet access. You need this so that you can support any of your clients remotely, regardless of whether you’re home, on the road or at another client site.

Aside from these basic expenses, the remainder of your startup investment requirements can be kept extremely low when you start your own computer business as an independent consultant.

In fact, sometimes it can be counter-productive to have too much capital because you end up buying a lot purchases you don’t really need before you have the clientele to justify the investments.

You see, what’s great about this business is you’re not providing the equipment, your merely maintaining or repairing what others have already bought.

This means that by choosing your initial services wisely and using new technology, you don’t need a fortune or a massive loan to get started. Your office might even be your kitchen table.

Put simply, this is as good as gets when it comes to a low-cost, low-risk business. When you make the decision to become your own boss and start your own computer business, you can finally get paid what you know you’re worth for your expertise.

The biggest challenge you’ll likely face is finding your initial client base quickly. Fortunately, this too is a challenge easily overcome with a solid, proven marketing strategy… and luckily, this too can be done for very little cost. I can show you the exact IT Marketing strategies I use every day to continuously build my own successful computer consulting business when you sign up to my newsletter at the website listed below.
