Having said that, roughly since the past two years we have seen the entry of a new offering by Data Center providers in the form of pay-per-use services or IaaS. IaaS being the primary cloud offering, some providers have also ventured into other flavour...

As an in-house designer who works alone, I require constant feedback. It’s the only way to know if I am on the right track. Recently, I had an epiphany: I have ignored my best design resource available, my fellow designer. I could have kicked myself for the oversight. I was working on a poster that was just not fitting together well. I ignored my f...

Or rather, what is an example of a subject line you simply could not resist opening? I can think of a few – “How you can do what xx did”, or “Does this version work for you?”. Sometimes no subject line is the most effective of all. The airlines could stand to improve at this. I’m subscribed to perhaps every domestic airline’s email list, and the e...

Disappointing Q1 results from market leaders Cisco and Polycom, coupled with a mellowed guidance for Q2, do not bode well for the videoconferencing markets. Revenues nose-dived in Q1 raising the big question - can videoconferencing continue the phenomenal climb it has seen over the last several quarters? Our recent research indicates that 2011 was...
