Demystifying the cloud (28th February 2012 at ramsac's Godalming offices)
The IT world is buzzing over the concept of ‘cloud computing’, with its promise to reduce the cost burden associated with procuring, installing and maintaining the IT infrastructure, which until now has always been located on-site. So, can it really live up to all of the hype and is it a viable option for every organisation?
There’s a lot of confusing information out there, with Cloud evangelists telling you that it’s the only move you should be considering, and hardware resellers telling you quite the opposite! In truth, whilst most people have heard the term ‘cloud computing’ few people really understand what it’s all about.
We promise to give you an impartial overview, explaining the facts behind the hype, offering examples of both cloud and traditional methodologies, and giving you some of the facts that will help you to form your own opinions, as well as some real life example of customers that have embraced cloud technology and how they have used it.

Using technology to smarten your workload (17th May 2012 at ramsac's Godalming office)
We are all a part of the ‘always on’ generation. High availability of mobile email, tasks and messaging means that we are being bombarded with more and more information, which many of us find hard to ever switch off from. Combine this with the financial pressures of the last few years, and we’re all trying to do more, with less.
It can be argued that advances in mobile technology have been a major cause of the additional strain which we all find ourselves under, but it can also be the answer to the problem.
During this seminar we will look at the developments in mobile technologies, and share insights as to how you can make use of technology to reduce your stress and improve your efficiency. We’ll explore things like iPads, smart phones, digital pens, as well as task management applications and CRM solutions that all help you to work smarter, and hopefully regain some personal time.

Modern offices are a place of constant change, and our ways of working are evolving all the time, as we have a greater need for increased mobility and resilience. This drive for mobility, the consumerisation of the computer, the ubiquitous nature of tablets and smart phones, and the concept of employee choice when it comes to the type of device that best works for them, will be the focus of our November seminar.
We will look at the drivers for change, the solutions for the modern work place, how employers can meet the increasing expectations of ‘generation Y’ and what further developments lie in the pipeline.

Lunch & Learn - Data Storage (various dates & venues throughout 2012)
As the digital age has revolutionised business, we have become acustomed to digitally filing away a whole host of information that we would never have dreamt of being able to store before. There are over 210 billion emails send every day. Unlike old fashioned mail, most of us have become acustomed to keeping a copy of just about every mail we've ever sent or received. We have also amassed a whole host of data on our clients and prospects that we store in endless CRM databases, and the documents we store are bigger than ever before, with high quality digital images and video being accessible to most of us from something as simple as our mobile device. You may not have thought about the effect of all this extra data on your network, but your IT managers are all too aware of the increasingly large problem of how and where we store all this data, how we back it up and how we make sure it's always there when you need it.
