Let’s Start the Year Right with Business Mobile Apps!

Posted on February 15, 2012

My goal for this year is to create business mobile applications to help our company meet its goals and remain competitive. I’m still humming holiday tunes, so here is an old favorite, with a business mobile app twist.

On the first day of the fiscal year, my manager said to me, “We need mobile apps to break free”
On the second day of the fiscal year, my client said to me, “Your apps do not run in 3D”
In the third month of the fiscal year, my tech rep said, “I guess…we need mobile GPS”
In the sixth month of the fiscal year, my marketers did state, “With FaceBook we must integrate”
In the eighth month of the fiscal year, my team leader did say, “Our team needs a mobile app way”

In the eleventh month of the fiscal year, our company did launch:
Collaborative applications
Product simulators
Design and research apps
Mobile Content Management Portals
Social networking integration
Maintenance and dispatch systems (with GPS, of course)
Mobile career, training and benefits tools
…and CRM and ERP mobile apps

In the twelfth month of the fiscal year, my manager said, “Oh Tru, it’s time for me to promote YOU.”

OK, so I won’t win an award for rhyming! Just remember: Your customers and users expect mobile connectivity and the ability to do business with touch screen simplicity! Mobile business apps can improve your bottom line and increase productivity

As Sweet As Blackberry Pie! Get a Taste of Success with Blackberry Mobile Business Apps!

Posted on January 31, 2012

When it comes to pies, I’m partial to blackberries! And, my tastes do not change when it comes to Smart Phones and hand held devices. The Blackberry® is my favorite! So, it is no surprise that I decided to go with the Blackberry® platform to design my mobile business app!

You might think that BlackBerry® is a messaging device, but the newest models incorporate other Smart Phone technology and can compete with other popular Smart Phone devices for flexibility and reach! Internet faxing, web browsing, multi–lingual messaging, auto–text with auto–correct and other text features like shortcuts, FaceBook and other social networking updates, and support for Google Messenger, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, and eBay.

I really like the fact that the BlackBerry® device has a long battery life and can transfer data in about one third of the time of other devices. You can create groups, scan bar codes, and manage your customers and contacts from anywhere! That’s pretty cool!

When you’re ready for a taste of Blackberry® custom business mobile applications…Hah! A taste of Blackberry! Get it?…contact these fine mobile app experts! They are great BlackBerry® application developers and can design and develop cross–platform, and platform independent mobile apps. www.elegantmicroweb.com, or info@elegantmicroweb.com.

Forget Those Jittery Energy Drinks! Joomla Can Energize An Entire Company!

Posted on January 15, 2012

Take it from Trudy! I have a lot to learn. When my colleague, Alex, told me he was using Joomla, I thought it might be a new energy drink. While you won’t find Joomla on the shelves of a grocery store, it WILL energize your company.

Joomla is an award–winning Content Management System. Let me explain why it is so special. It can be deployed on nearly any operating system or platform, which makes it pretty flexible and useful for CMS implementations. It also has a lot of tools for web designers and developers to efficiently create CMS sites and clients using Joomla sites easily manage their site after implementation is complete.

IT pros like to use Joomla because it is suitable for complex and simple sites alike and can manage data base driven content. It includes an easy–to–use graphical interface that allows end users to quickly create, edit and publish web site content, thereby ensuring that the CMS site will always contain fresh, relevant information. Joomla Content Management Systems can satisfy nearly every CMS web site need from Surveys and Polls to Shopping Carts, Payment Systems, Auctions, Galleries, Partner Networks, Training Events, Fundraising, Grant Management and yes, even grocery store portals where you will find those energy drinks I was talking about!

If you want to take advantage of this award-winning CMS software, Alex says you need to get in touch with the pros! Here’s where you’ll find them: www.elegantmicroweb.com, or info@elegantmicroweb.com. Get Joomla and get energized!

The Tale of Cynthia’s Dilapidated IT Infrastructure

Posted on December 15, 2011

My friend Cynthia cannot wrap her head around technology infrastructure. She knows that IT infrastructure is the foundation of all organizations. How does she know? Because the IT department tells her so! Beyond that, she doesn’t have a clue. Her IT staff and IT consultants told her that without an effective infrastructure her team can’t develop or exchange information, nor can it protect its competitive and proprietary data or build knowledge repositories to grow revenue and succeed in its market of choice.

Cynthia was scared out of her wits by these predictions of doom! She wanted to do something constructive about that old, creaky IT infrastructure. She hired a team of IT consultants with the skills and knowledge to remotely maintain and support her infrastructure.

You’ll be happy to know that Cynthia’s infrastructure is now in the pink! With someone else to manage the IT infrastructure she can do business dependably across time zones and technical barriers with full confidence in the accessibility and security of the technology. Her infrastructure runs like a Swiss watch!

The moral of the story is that you don’t need to understand and execute the necessary changes to get your infrastructure into the current century or to make it more dependable and reduce downtime and increase accessibility.

• Server Management, Administration, Monitoring and Maintenance
• Database Management, Administration and Performance Management, Tuning and Optimization
• Email and User Management and Mailbox Administration
• Network Management, Administration, Diagnostics and Component Services
• Security Management, Integrity Monitoring, Reporting, Intrusion Detection, Disaster Recovery Planning and Event Management

To find a great remote infrastructure management partner, visit www.elegantmicroweb.com, or email info@elegantmicroweb.com. Take a tip from Cynthia’s friend!
