A great online backup service
If you need to backup your business data, but you can’t afford the risk of others getting hold of that data, then you’re going to need an encrypted online backup service. There are a few options to choose from, but the best one we have come across is Idrive-E. The online backup performance and features of IDrive-E are unsurpassed and the recent developments of near real time backup of constantly changing data such as MS Outlook data makes the service stand out.
Best of all, up to 2GB, the service can be used for free. Unlimited storage starts at $4.95 per month. It’s easy, fast and secure.

Using your phone for more than calling
There’s a technology which has been on the horizon for a while now. Something I’ve been very interested in. location based services. In a nutshell, your mobile phone signal can be triangulated to identify your actual location. This concept can seem slightly disturbing to some. It might have overtones of Orwellian big brother about it, but imagine this….
Emergency Number Service – say you’re in an accident and you call the Emergency services. Wouldn’t it be easier for them to find you and get help to you if they could read your exact location straight from your phone call?
Or in business. With the massive growth in delivery services due to shopping online, wouldn’t it be great to be able to monitor the location of all your delivery drivers and be able to redirect them to your customers more efficiently?
There are so many uses for this, it’s difficult to imagine that it won’t become one of the most important new technologies of the decade.
