    Thinking of Collocating

    Hi Joseph, If your thinking of taking the leap, I can recommend the services of Netwise Hosting, as you can probably already tell from Matthew's great advice, they are experts in this area. Both ourselves and numerous clients of ours use them for colo, they have been fantastic, can't fault...

    Thanks Netwise :) Hi Debbie, We'd be happy to assist you through the maze! As the others have already mentioned, everything is hosted and configurable from the Microsoft online control panel and is fairly straight forward to maintain, however some people find it a little trickier to...

    Hosted Exchange 2007 or 2010

    Thanks Netwise :) Hi Iain, I would recommend 2010 because of its tighter integration with Outlook 2010, also OWA (Outlook web access - A web version of Microsoft Outlook that you can access from a web browser) is vastly improved in the Exchange 2010 environment, you have a much improved...

    Wireless problem with Desktop PC

    Yeah I'd agree, for ease of use and installation you can't fault a decent power-line adaptor, we've installed a few where wifi would have given us a headache. Repeaters etc can server their purpose, but there is a lot more work involved in getting one positioned and set up :)

    Does anyone use Microsoft Office 365?

    I wouldn't rule it out for email since you get a 25Gb per mailbox with it, never known anyone to fill one yet!! If you need any help with O365 setup, pricing, trials etc let us know we are support partners. ;) Have fun with it!

We blogged about this a while back in our...

    Teamviewer

    I would have to agree with this, Joinme is made by Logmein and its a great free way to have quick online meetings. Its very simple and doesn't have many features, but its so simple to start. If your looking for something with more bells and whistles to use regularly you might want to take a...

    Online/Virtual Phone number

    I would suggest speaking to Voipfone, they have an excellent online PBX that can handle just about any configuration, they can email you voicemail msgs as mp3's so you can actual hear the msg. They have online numbers to, and no we are affiliated to them in any way..........just happy customers.

    Do you really need to print that?

    The only thing I have ever had is the, what seems to be mandatory icon / text in our email signature, this sounds interesting though. Would be interested to have a look if you manage to get a copy, we have a few clients that could do with having a look at it! ;)
