The Future of Computing is
in the Clouds
By Shane
Robison, Chief Technology Officer, HP
reprinted with permission from the HP Small Business Center
Technology
is in the early stages of a big shift, one that will
transform how companies and individuals access information,
share content and communicate. This next wave will be driven
by a new model of computing: people and businesses will use
their Web browsers to access a wide range of "cloud
services"--computing services available on demand, over the
Internet.
Imagine
services that are intelligent enough to anticipate your
needs, based on a real-time understanding of your location,
time of day and preferences. In this next phase of
computing, the search for information will be done for you,
not by you. You will have a seamless, consistent experience
across all the devices you own, and all the on-demand
services you care about.

Your Nonprofit Needs a
Technology Plan
by Monte
Enbysk

Microsoft Small Business
Center
To the surprise of
the nonprofit sector, Internet technology is enhancing good
works.
Relief agencies
such as the American Red Cross have demonstrated how
effectively online systems can speed cash donations to
tragedy-stricken parts of the world. Smaller nonprofits have
found the Web to be a blessing for locating discounted items
and organizing people to support causes. Foundations and
charities have found success with e-philanthropy -- the
securing of pledges and donations over the Web -- and made it
a vital part of their fundraising strategies.
"Technology is, in
many ways, a necessary evil for nonprofits doing business
today," says Joni Podolsky, a technology consultant to
nonprofits and the author of "Wired for Good: Strategic
Technology Planning for Nonprofits." "You need it now just
to stay competitive."

Replace your Old Technology
Now and Save
reprinted with permission
from the HP Small Business Center
It
can be tempting to avoid new purchases when dealing with a
tight budget or a need to cut costs. When it comes to your
office's computer equipment, however, delaying a PC refresh
can actually increase your operating expenses. Maintenance
and support costs go up significantly over time, and
productivity goes down.
Learn about the
major costs associated with maintaining and supporting PCs
and the six ways in which a PC refresh can benefit your
business.
1. Save on
repair costs
For most businesses, it's best to replace aging equipment
rather than repair it. Maintenance costs on PCs more
than three years old can run nearly two and half times
higher than on a new PC [1]. From software crashes to hard
drive failure, a lot can go wrong as a computer ages.
2. Increase
productivity
When your computers work more efficiently, so do you and
your employees. Faster processors, such as the Intel® Core
2TM Duo and Intel® vProTM technology.
