The business owner’s briefing: Reduce the burden on your brain
When you own or manage a business, your cognitive load can be overwhelming.
Not only do you have your own work to think about, but your focus often has to be split between that and what your people need from you.

Essential cloud migration strategy checklist
Everyone’s heard of the cloud. But do you know what it is?
When you access something in the cloud it means you are accessing information or using an application that’s on someone else’s servers.
Typically these are in huge buildings placed around the world. It means you can access anything from anywhere on any device.
It’s fast, easy and secure.
When it comes to using the cloud for your business, what exactly does that mean? It’s about moving all of your business computing services – like your databases, your systems and applications – to be stored in the cloud, rather than in-house on your own servers.
