Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making its way into our lives at an ever increasing rate and that is likely to continue. And there are certainly cases where it is extremely helpful. For me the most obvious is your searches on the web. It used to be when you asked your search engine of choice a […]
Maintaining the IT infrastructure for any business, even small ones, isn’t easy and it requires a lot of different skills which are nearly impossible to find in one person. There’s the obvious day-to-day desktop support and server management. But there’s also cloud services to be supported, web sites and databases to be taken care of, […]
Many of the posts on this blog have been about cloud services and that’s because so many of our clients are looking at migrating their IT infrastructure (their shared files, backups, email, applications and many times their whole desktop experience) to the cloud.

It used to be that the only option for robust email services (i.e. Microsoft Exchange – – it really is the gold standard of email servers) was to buy a server, figure out the Exchange software licensing and hire someone to set it all up and provide the ongoing maintenance. Luckily, those days are behind […]
