If you have a small business and not using cloud computing, you may soon find yourself falling behind competitors that are on the cloud.
As stand-alone desktop applications losing popularity, companies are turning to cloud services, and for a number of good reasons.
Cloud computing can help save your small business time and money while boosting productivity.
Here are some of the reasons you should start using the cloud for your small business:
Your company´s security system is only as secure as its weakest member, and according to a recent report released by PWC, this can seriously affect your bottom line.
The report stated, “Financial impact may include decreased revenues, disruption of business systems, regulatory penalties, and erosion of customers.” It goes on to include an even longer list of ways that your business loses when it´s not secure.
In many cases, these security breaches are caused by employees. The good news is that you can take measures to make sure that your employees aren´t doing anything that could allow for security breaches.
Here are some things you need to look for to find the weak links in your security system and make them strong.
Hackers don’t care how big or small your business is. What they care about is how weak your security is, so making sure that your network is protected against them is the best way to prevent your business being a victim of cyber crime.
Today, most hackers find targets by using automated scans and all they’re looking for is a chink in your network to exploit. That means that if you’re not protecting yourself properly, your small business is at risk.
Fortunately, most of these security measures are easy to implement, and if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, you can easily knock this out in a rainy afternoon.

Whether or not you have heard of 5G, the latest development in wireless technology, keep reading to learn more about this remarkable innovation and how you can possibly get it free for your Miami business or home!
Before you get too excited, unfortunately, the trials are a quite limited, only about 500 customers will be able to participate across a handful of selected cities, but luckily Miami is on that list.
Long story short, you’ll be able to apply for a free one-year trial for Verizon’s 5G field test, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get in and be able to enjoy insanely fast browsing speeds.
If you’re not a super-nerd, chances are you don’t know what 5G is. 5G stands for “fifth generation” wireless technology.
Currently, the fastest internet services available are “Google Fiber” and “AT&T Gigapower” both of which boast up to 1 gigabit per second.
Now, that is going to be blown out of the water by 5G, which is expected to be twenty times faster than Google Fiber, processing a full 20 gigabits per second, but we are not there yet.
In the most recent field tests, Verizon was able to hit 10 gigabits per second, which is very impressive for an over the air connection. Read more
