Business tv: why online apps are the future of business

More expert business advice from Google’s European Enterprise Director Roberto Solimene, as he explains how Google Apps works for businesses by eliminating unnecessary expenditure, problematic hardware and software, and effectively banks information to help companies succeed:

“Again every kind of business is suitable for the use of Google Apps. Originally we thought that it would have been something more beneficial to small or medium sized organisation because they don’t have the funds, they don’t have the resources, and they don’t have the infrastructure to use a hosted service inside their organisation.
But we are seeing them more and more that very large organisations are calling us just too just explore how they can use Apps inside their organisation whether it is for a division or whether it is for a specific kind of employee or for the organisation. But we are seeing that everybody now is interested in at least discovering what is on offer on this so called web to zero offering.
The most exciting thing is that I save a lot of money; this is only the first of the things. I don’t need any more very complex infrastructure, I don’t need to buy a license for all my employees, I don’t need to buy spam services, I don’t need to buy servers, I don’t need to buy filters for viruses for example or servers for all that software. I don’t need to buy infrastructure for filing and archiving old documents and the mail that a company receives and so on. Just think about the saving that you have in all this infrastructure when you can give everything host to someone that has hundreds of thousands of servers spread around the world.
Some people are definitely worried about having all their information online but we are going towards a phase where doing that is going to be the most natural thing to do. Just like when we used to put our money inside a mattress thinking it was safer. But now we take for granted the best place to put our money is actually the bank.
If we can build a parallel ...

Still dont trust having all my sensitive files online only. I would at least need them backed up in physical form where I can get to them in the event i need.

there is a really funny cutting edge blog called iphonenova(dot)((com)) that shares some stuff that is a little sexist and racist, but its pretty funny!

i wouldnt visit the site if you get offended easily

Oh my god...working from home without the internet. I could not do that anymore. The internet can link into everything and anything and that's what I love about it.

[businessadvice]

i think you can?

[businesstvgeorge]

I think you should be able to download the apps, so you could have them stored on the hard drive, but it would link up to the online version so you can still share in the same way without the risk.

All makes good sense to me - there needs to be a bit more of a change in the way that people behave before this really kicks off. People still like to have things on their computer!

businesstvrebecca - you are absolutely right! Working from a home office would be near obsolete if it weren't for the internet. I just want to know when the internet speed in NZ will compare with other Countries!

[businesstvrebecca]

It sure is great to be able to work from home. Great when you have a family.
