We are going through another review of our remote management solution. We have been using Centrastage for about a year now and while it is very cost effective and good at some things, we feel we could get a lot more out of it this type of software. We need more integration with connectwise which is our ticketing and billing system. We need more automation and be able to eaisly monitor applications, backups, anti-virus and so on. We are looking at GFI Max which seems very easy to use and so far impressed. Just not so sure on the pricing. About to look at labtech software as well that has huge investment from connectwise but very mixed reviews. Was dissappointed with their sales team as it was a case of if the software doesn't sell itself then oh well... US companies seem to have forgotton how important the customer is and that some customers need a little more hand holding than others. Just focused on growing their business as quickly as possible and focusing on numbers rath...

Here is a link to Apple's lattest amazing iPhone that was found by someone. Looks really great. Not sure what res the camera is but everything else sounds pretty good... Well be a good few months before we can have this in our grubby paws... http://gizmodo.com/5520164/this-is-apples-next-iphone Have an awesome week... Colin

Well... The iPhone 3GS is an incredible device. So much power and ability delivered from a small hand held device. The apps are probably the biggest value as they deliver all kinds of valueble information never thought possible before... As a device, it is truely outstanding... BUT!!! I can't cope any more! For me a phone is probably more important... I run a business, I provide support to my clients, I receive important phone calls... If my signal is consistently rubbish and I can't do the simple things, whats the point? Very frustrating!! I have swapped the phone twice and the sim card twice with no difference... Surely I am not the only one struggling with signal issues?? Surely Apple and indeed 02 must admit there is a problem. If I was a yank, I would be sueing Apple... So my plan is to sell the 3GS and buy a 3G... Then hope the next iPhone has solved this issue!! Time will tell but needless to say I am a very disapointed fan!! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
