You’re probably hearing a lot about cloud computing these days. But what does it mean for your business and what advantages does it give you over your current technology situation? On February 15, join IT Solutions for an in-depth look at the cloud and what benefits it can offer your business in 2012 and beyond.
This timely seminar will focus on 5 key challenges that every business faces and what cloud computing can do to improve your bottom line, including:
- Technology Expense Management - With the speed of technology innovation becoming exponentially faster - including servers, related hardware and the software that operate them - Why keep spending money on expensive upgrades when there are cost-effective alternatives that don’t require large outlays of capital every few years?
- Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity - How safe is the data on your office servers in the event of a fire, flood, or employee theft? Is keeping all your "eggs in one basket" really the best strategy for data storage? And how quickly can your business be up and running if you lose access to your data due to a power outage or building damage?
- Data Accessibility - Analysts are predicting that by the end of 2011 there were more than 1 billion users working from smartphones and other mobile devices. Making company and client data available to multiple devices at all times is critical to most companies’ success today. Do you want to risk that accessibility with outdated servers and unreliable office Internet connections? And what about the security of that data being accessed remotely? Are the servers and mobile devices 100% locked down to ensure information doesn’t get in the wrong hands?
These are just a few of the key factors to think about when considering cloud computing for your business. Join us on February 15, 2012 for an in-depth look at the many improvements you can make right away by switching to the cloud. Following the talk, enjoy a delicious lunch and get all of your questions answered. REGISTER NOW!
We look forward to seeing you there! Please direct any questions about the seminar to Andrea Leadbeater at andrea.leadbeater@itsolutions-inc.com or call 215.886.7166

FileMaker Go is very easy to install, thanks to iTunes and the App Store. Many FileMaker applications are immediately accessible once FileMaker Go is installed, requiring little (if any) modification before your mobile users are connected and productive.
Despite this relatively ideal scenario, there are a number of important factors to consider when extending an application to users on any new platform, and FileMaker is no exception. Examples include the development style of the existing solution, security concerns, data availability requirements, the physical network topology and performance expectations. Picking the deployment model that takes all of these into account and is the best fit for your application is an essential part of any successful FileMaker Go rollout.
Join the FM Academy as we consider these factors and help you plot your path to deployment. Mark will illustrate your choices, discuss their respective pros and cons, and offer examples that demonstrate what type of real-world scenarios are best suited to each approach.
The webinar will focus on the following:
- Identifying and defining factors that can impact a successful deployment
- Outlining your deployment options and their relative strengths and weaknesses
- Matching your application’s requirements to the best deployment model
Who Should Attend?
- FileMaker Pro Developers
- Network, Security or System Administrators
