Microsoft Exchange – the 1,000 lb Gorilla
Posted by Nicky Smith on 08 December 2011 07:39 PM

Dataglide, the award winning Microsoft Exchange Alternative

Microsoft Exchange - the 1,000 lb GorillaMicrosoft Exchange is powerful software, but it has its place - in the enterprise.

But what about Microsoft's Small Business Server (aka SBS) you ask? While it sounds like it's intended for smaller organizations, don't be fooled. SBS is marketing at its best - an enterprise-class product merely packaged, priced, and positioned for the small business market. Again over priced, complex to administrator. Whether Exchange or Small Business Server, it's overkill and it requires far too much resource investment for many of today's medium and small businesses like yours.

How to get an Email Hosting Plan that Truly Suits Your Small Business
Posted by Nicky Smith on 30 November 2011 07:58 AM

When it comes to business email hosting, if you are new to this, you are in for quite a shock. You see, the premier business email service out there these days is Microsoft Exchange. Now while there is nothing wrong with Exchange on the surface, this email hosting service is not necessarily geared towards smaller businesses. when you have a large business and you need a big time hosting plan, Exchange is a good option. But for smaller businesses Exchange is far too large and far too expensive to justify.

Another alternative to Microsoft Exchange is SBS or Small Business Server. However, to believe that this service does what the name seems to suggest, giving a low cost alternative for email hosting to smaller businesses is a very naive way to look at what they offer. Much like Exchange, this service is not really extended for the small business as is represented by it's high cost and it's large scale packaging.

So what is a small business owner to do when they are looking for an affordable email hosting service. One very viable solution is Dataglide. What separates Dataglide from other email hosting services is that unlike SBS or Exchange, Dataglide caters to all users big and small. They do this by providing scalable email hosting solutions.

What this means is that you only get what you need. This makes your system more effective and also more affordable. When you are ready to scale up or perhaps scale down, you can do so easily with Dataglide without the upgrade affecting your current hosting service. What this does is puts you in the divers seat as to how much hosting you'll need and how much you'll have to pay, unlike SBS or Exchange that has a take it or leave it business mentality.

When it comes to running a business one of the worse things you could do is waste resources and money, but that is exactly what Microsoft Exchange and SBS would have you do. However, with Dataglide you get only the email hosting you need at a price you can afford. No wasting large email hosting plans on small capacities and no wasting money on a service that you don't need on such a large scale.

Oldies but Goodies, or Why Using iPhone Email Rocks
Posted by Nicky Smith on 08 November 2011 10:10 AM

Technology has advanced so much since e-mail was first being used by a small group of scientists and other academic types some forty or so years ago (yes, it's been that long!).  Nowadays, it seems like everyone just "texts" -- or even "tweets."  Seems like it won't be much longer before someone writes a telepathy app!

But guess what?  You can still use iPhone email in the meantime.  As a matter of fact, you really should.  It isn't so hard to do, and unlike "texting" and "tweeting" you can actually say something meaningful!  If you think about it, those other options are probably best left to the teenagers.  After all, do you really want to come across to the person on the other end as being too busy to give a proper response?

Webmail is fast and easy from DataglideOf course, "it takes all kinds" -- there is a time and place for everything.  But if you're running a business, using iPhone email instead for communicating with your customers is almost certainly the only way to go.  Sure you can tweet a special sale or something, but for the overwhelming vast majority of other reasons there would be for keeping in touch with a customer, you will want to e-mail them.

It's really not hard at all, and barely takes that much longer.  And let's not forget one of the greatest advantages of all to using iPhone email instead of anything else: You can take your time replying!  This little benefit is not to be underestimated in our harried world of 24-hour news cycles and constant contacts.  To properly get a handle on anything critical, you must take your time researching the matter and carefully thinking about everything involved, thoroughly imagining all the possible implications.  Well, using e-mail gives you just the time to do that -- and more!
