Few could argue that Google has managed to do more damage to the market share of Microsoft than any other company. Not only have growing numbers of businesses rejected Microsoft’s Office 365, they have voted with their wallets to go with Google Apps. However, while Microsoft’s cloud version of its popular “Office” suite has taken [...]
Microsoft feeling the heat according to research analysts Gartner, the well-known technology research company has suggested that despite Microsoft trying to outdo Google, the latter is actually making inroads into the former’s market. For decades, Microsoft was the only firm in town providing a range of office-type software. I still think what they have produced [...]
For many years I have used Microsoft’s Office suite. It generally came already installed on the computer. However, while the office aspect of the suite was great (and still is), the email aspect was, for me, becoming increasingly frustrating. For example, I had to download all emails to my hard drive, and depending on how [...]
After weighing up the potential benefits of Google Apps for Education and Microsoft’s Office 365, Chicago Public Schools Board (the third largest of its type) has switched to the former. While an obvious blow to Microsoft, which had hoped to start making some inroads into Google’s market share in the education sector, it’s a great [...]
For a long time now the standard two IT systems, particularly for email used by both businesses and government departments throughout the globe were Microsoft Exchange or IBM’s Lotus Notes. However, with the advent of cloud computing many businesses started to realise that these particular email systems, in particular Lotus Notes, were no longer viable. [...]
IBM’s Lotus Notes has been around a long time now, but many organisations have become tired of it, finding it cumbersome and inflexible; not to mention costly.

If there is one business that is flaunting its success, it is StorSimple. To be honest, I am not surprised considering the number of major corporations it appears to have links with. What is also possibly something of a surprise, rather than partnering with Google, the business is a Microsoft Partner. I say this is [...]
IBM’s Lotus Notes is still used by many companies around the globe, but with the advent of cloud-based infrastructure those same companies are beginning to realise there is life outside Lotus. Ironically, even IBM itself with its development of CloudBurst has got the bug. However, companies using Lotus Notes and looking to switch are not [...]
If you are a business looking for a different solution to your IT problems, then cloud is probably it. However, with companies such as Microsoft and IBM now embracing this phenomenon you could be forgiven if you are confused. I know I would be. Many businesses are deliberately choosing Google Apps rather than Microsoft’s Office [...]
Google’s cloud computing services were improved immensely recently, I believe, when the head of Google’s E-Discovery announced a number of new features involving data archiving, retention policies and instant messaging. This, according to experts finally puts Google Apps for Business on a more equal footing with its main rival, Microsoft Office 365. The latter apparently [...]
