Before the pandemic when I met a new client we would talk over the phone to set up a meeting, have a meeting where we discussed what they needed support with I would be on my way. I would go back to my office, complete my tasks and regularly catch up with the client to let them know when tasks were completed.

Do not get me wrong, all of my clients were extremely happy with my work but working through Zoom has opened a new door.

Now, I meet with my client via Zoom where we discuss what needs doing and do it then and there. We simply share screens and work through the problems together and come up with a solution. By showing how I operate and solve these problems not only allows my clients to recognise where they went wrong, but also learn new skills that can help them to run their business.

By showing people how I solve their problems highlights how easy some processes can be when you take the right steps, so although people say I am an ‘expert’ when it comes to things like Xero, physically showing people how to build the foundations helps them to understand how easy it really can be and encourages them to practice these new found skills.

Cloud computing gives users access to data or files wherever they have an internet connection. In today’s ever-changing business climate, it’s critical that small business owners get what they need right when they need it, whether they’re on their computers, tablets or mobile phones – or in the office, out in the field or on the road.

What is cloud computing used for?

Cloud computing is an umbrella term for different types of cloud services, including these:

• Cloud storage– stores and backs up your files for regular access and for sharing and syncing them across devices.
• Cloud backup– similar to cloud storage, but primarily used as a backup source in the event of a crash, cyberattack or other data loss.
• Software as a service (SaaS)– uses the web to provide a service, such as Office 365, Google Apps,
• Cloud hosting– facilitates all types of information sharing, such as email services, application hosting, web-based phone systems and data storage.

For small and midsize businesses, the benefits of cloud computing are endless!

Cloud computing saves businesses time and money by boosting productivity, improving collaboration and promoting innovation.

Businesses use cloud computing to access information anywhere, rather than storing information on your computer or a server in your office, cloud computing stores data on the internet so anyone with proper credentials has access from any location with an internet connection. Even if you’re working from home or your office server is inaccessible, data in the cloud is always up to date with real-time information and available wherever, whenever.
