Cloud Telephony

August 4, 2012 – 2:59 pm

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and research about telephony lately and came across and liking the developments I am finding on the mobile and cloud fronts. Cloud telephony is worth checking out if yourorganization that still depends on their old-school telephone Ma Bell telephone system in the the dusty old PBX closet  for conducting customer and other important business calls. Even if you’ve taken the extra step of putting VoiP system onsite, cloud telephony can help save you money and offer a lot of flexibility while improving your customer facing communications.

Managing Offsite Technical Writing Projects With Do.com

March 3, 2012 – 1:26 pm

I previously wrote about Do.com, gave it high marks, and then got to thinking about how it could work for managing offsite technical writing projects. I’ve had mixed experiences myself with offsite technical writing projects and while I still think some organizations are more equipped to deal with remote workers than others. However, I haven’t given up the hope that putting a management tool layer between the remote writer and those involved in the project at the mother ship couldn’t help improve communications and create an audit trail.

With a little bit of setup, Do.com can serve as a task management and communications broker between a remote writer and the rest of the project team.

Adobe FormsCentral: A Foundation For An Email Free Office?

February 8, 2012 – 8:34 pm

I’ve been following all the news about email bans in offices and the state of cloud based productivity tools in general lately. While I am a proponent of social media tools inside the enterprise, nothing cuts it as good old-fashioned forms based workflow in some environments. When I previously wrote about Adobe FormsCentral, a forms creation tool, it was easy to see where it could sit as foundational tool inside a virtual team or to take forms based process out of the email inbox.

The latest round of Adobe FormsCentral updates further cements it as a leader in electronic forms and a tool to consider if you want to move your forms from email to something more cloud-based and usable.

January 30, 2012 – 9:30 pm

As a cloud-based task management application, Do.com  greets you with full HTML 5 goodness. It’s a real slick and responsive task management application for individuals or project teams.  I’ve long been a believer in the democratization of project management data and how cloud-based applications can help geographically dispersed project teams collaborate and communicate during projects. read more »
