On more than one occasion, people struggling with the concept of cloud computing became angry at the idea their personal or work emails being stored in the cloud, never mind the fact that this had been the case ever since they started using email.

Expense Management
No business owner needs convincing of the reasoning behind cost saving and efficiency, but that’s not always the case with going green. We all recognise that being efficient in what we do – from carrying out basic office tasks to managing invoices to completing projects – is important to a company’s ability to keep growing.
