Early Thoughts on the Windows Azure Announcements | Wade Wegner

http://www.wadewegner.com/2012/06/early-thoughts-on-the-windows-azure-announcements/ Today’s release marks a significant milestone for Windows Azure. To date, Windows Azure has been a platform that allows developers to build and run applications across Microsoft’s global datacenters – the key emphasis has been on “applications”. Windows Azure has not been a platform for providing the underlying infrastructure for running your own virtual machine – this has been a key pain point for many customers looking to move to the cloud that Microsoft has heard loud and clear. Today’s announcement makes it clear that Windows Azure is more than just a Platform-as-a-Service provider.

Tuning Windows Azure Performance, a brief introduction - Hakan Eren's blog

One common reason we go for cloud computing is the ability to scale, as much as needed. This usually means an increase in the overall performance of our application. However in certain cases we might face a decrease in performance with cloud computing. I will try to explain the most common reasons that I came across for such unexpected behaviour.

How would things be different if you had your paper and electronic documents under control? How would you feel if you not only knew which products you need, but what to do with your electronic documents once you have scanned everything? If you could find what you need, when you need it, and feel more in control and less stressed? It is my goal to help you make it happen. http://www.documentsnap.com/paperless-action-plan/

This Magic Quadrant represents a snapshot of the ECM market in 2011. Gartner advises readers not to compare the placement of vendors in prior years, as this market is changing — fresh acquisitions and partnerships, solutions development and the appearance of alternative delivery models are evidence of this — and our criteria for selecting and ranking vendors continue to evolve. Our assessments take into account vendors' current offerings and overall strategies, as well as their planned initiatives and product road maps.

OfficeDrop Now Lets You Scan Documents To Social Networks — And The Cloud

http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/09/officedrop-now-lets-you-scan-documents-to-social-networks-and-the-cloud/ Last April, OfficeDrop raised $1 million in angel funding for its online solution that allows people to take all the paper documents cluttering their offices, scan them, then manage, organize, and store them in the cloud. With its round of angel funding, OfficeDrop set out to work on the development of mobile apps, and has since launched both iPhone and iPad apps that turns your Apple and Android devices into a scanner. Among other things, these apps allow users to take a picture of a recept when on a trip and send it their expense folders in OfficeDrop’s cloud “filing cabinet.” These apps also allow users to search documents on their phone, pulling up a receipt you scanned four months ago.

Paperless | Mariner Software

We’ve just spent the last two days in London talking, presenting and demonstrating Xero to 650 accountants and bookkeepers across two separate conferences; the annual conference of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and the ICAEW ’s Sole Practitioner’s Conference. As Xero’s responsible adult in the UK I was lucky to enjoy the additional privilege of being invited to the ICB’s annual awards dinner on Thursday night at the historic Banqueting House on Whitehall. I was impressed not only by the grand architecture but also by ICB’s Garry Carter’s vision for the bookkeeping profession and with the reverence and importance that was conferred upon bookkeepers by HRH Prince Michael of Kent (ICB’s patron) during his talk.

Mobile Application Design | Create Cross-Platform iPad/Android Apps

Each competing device type — iOS, Android, Windows Mobile — requires a different set of tools and programming skills. Each supported platform will multiply the cost and complexity of designing developing, debugging, testing and deploying custom mobile applications.
