CCM vs. ECM: The Game is on!
Businesses are evolving rapidly because of various fundamental changes in technology and workers at the other end are becoming more depended on the Internet for collaboration. Organizations are becoming more networked both internally and externally making them to adopt a new paradigm of solutions that accolades the usability of traditional content management system.

Is The Cloud A Threat or Opportunity?
Your customers are being bombarded by consumer cloud service offerings including data protection solutions like Mozy and Carbonite and content management/collaboration offerings like Drop Box and Box.net. The vendors that offer these solutions are selling directly to SMB customers. This poses a real and substantial threat to the relationship you have with your customers because they may be lured into thinking they can easily deploy these solutions themselves. As any veteran VAR, MSP or MHP knows, SMB customers are not the most IT savvy group and their ability to successfully deploy and manage these solutions is often lacking.
Many SMBs … Read the rest

PSA Tools & MSP Success
Let’s face it, most MSPs are technical folks who enjoy spending time solving customer problems by implementing and maintaining technology-based services. That is why most of us got into this business in the first place. Unfortunately there is a side of the business that many MSPs dread, but is critical to ensure your success. I refer to the activities such as effectively managing the time tracking of your staff, meeting SLAs and most importantly ensuring all your invoicing is accurate and submitted.

Malcolm Gladwell’s famous 10,000-hour rule has caught the fancy of a lot of people. The book attempts to question our definition of ‘success’ and to find out a pattern behind ‘outliers’. Gladwell goes to explain the careers of really successful people – accomplished and extraordinary persons who are outside of ordinary experience.
A recent post by Joe Panettieri from MSPMentor summarizes this book … Read the rest

On Vembu & VC Investment
I keep getting emails from VC firms at regular intervals. I have had initial phone calls with many of them. But invariably there is no progress as we just do not act on raising money on our own because I fundamentally cannot get myself to pitch my business to a VC just to raise money. The reason is that I am uncomfortable doing a business plan on how I will scale the company. Because until we try something out we will never know whether it is going to work or not. It is always continuous experiments you run and figure … Read the rest

Google Docs now offers 1 GB of free storage and users can purchase more for $0.25/GB. Being in the backup business, we do come across questions on how Google offers raw storage at such a low price point and the same kind of price … Read the rest
