Remote Working: The answer to the British Weather?
With the weather becoming less predictable, more and more companies are realising the potential of allowing employees to work remotely. Not only does it mean they remain productive whilst they are ‘snowed in’, but it also helps reduce costs long term. Some employees do not need to work in an office environment on a permanent basis or even at all. So organisations are starting to allow more remote working, providing hot desks in the office for when they do need to be in enabling them to remain productive, and ensure a secure, manageable environment.
Forecast: Cloudy but Clearing
Clouds seem to come in all shapes and flavours whilst still remaining largely technologically-led. But based on feedback from clients and analysts, other hot technology topics from 2011 are now directly contributing to cloud developments and evolution. Many of the most interesting development projects are now sitting just below the cloud. The main challenge for business is how to incorporate and integrate customer behaviour and feedback to shape adoption and evolution in a dynamic environment where demand is uncertain.

Cloud Innovation - The Key to Personal Fulfilment
For many businesses, the question of how to manage their IT effectively has increasingly become a choice between outsourcing and the use of cloud solutions. These two methods operate in different ways to achieve similar cost, performance and efficiency savings.
Old Dogs, New Tricks
Most innovative businesses rely on superior technology and simplified delivery models to find new ways to create, capture and deliver value. Technology certainly plays a key role in facilitating innovation but we cannot forget that innovation is also about nurturing and improving performance within traditional dimensions including price, accessibility and simplicity of use. For example, the dominance of iTunes and Apple technologies has largely been based on these three principles, and an initial focus on developing user confidence in the brand and the innovative nature of the products to generate demand and promote customer loyalty.
Mobile Meets Cloud
The acquisition of many mobile application software companies looks set to accelerate by Telcos globally. Identifying applications which will drive bandwidth usage and overall consumption has become a strategic priority. But as the power of devices increases, it can be difficult to know which applications are the most useful and how to benefit from their functionality.

Lyncing it all together
Like most businesses, Lumison needs to maintain effective communication with a wide spectrum of customers and staff across different UK locations. For many of our teams, that communication often extends beyond normal working hours and involves remote workers. Solving these communications issues in a way that minimises costs and ensures effective support remains a key challenge for many organisations, even with the range of dedicated, feature-rich video conferencing solutions available on the market.
Controlling your Data
The wider market has seen a stream of vulnerabilities and data thefts throughout this year. Despite increasing efforts to stem the flow, the emphasis needs to be on prevention rather than cure, beginning with a clear understanding of your data and how it can be accessed. For example, this month Yale University acknowledged that a recent change by Google to include searches on FTP servers had led to the potential exposure of sensitive personal information for over 43,000 students. Given that many FTP servers are used to share corporate information more securely, many organisations may find themselves having to manage similar data security issues that are not within their control.

Cloud Busting
The outage on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) in April took down multiple public websites using the service including Foursquare, Reddit, Quora, and Hootsuite. The assumption made by the companies that run (and generate their revenue) from these websites was that because it was in the cloud, their sites were resiliently hosted.
