Technology is evolving rapidly, in true Darwinian form it is those who embrace change who prosper, and those who reject it that die.
With the advent of cloud computing small businesses have access to software and technology that they could not have dreamed of, or afforded, years ago.
At Cabbage Tree we do business in the cloud (and have physical offices) utlising technologies such as
- Xero
- Workflowmax
- Smart Payroll
- Capsule
- Acclipse
- Dropbox
- Currently assessing Microsoft 365
The advantages are significant
- We don’t have the cost of owning and maintaining expensive server infrastructure
- We are always running the latest version of software
- Support is readily available and free
- Set up time and training is hours rather than days
- No upfront costs for most apps and ongoing subscription costs are minimal
- We are no longer office bound
Cloud computing allows Cabbage Tree to be leaner and more dynamic enabling us to better service our clients in a cost effective manner.
We get the best software, can use it on the run, and it doesn’t matter whether we’re sitting in the office on computers, or sitting on the beach on our iPads, we can be seamlessly servicing our clients.
As Popular Mechanics said in 1949 “Computers in the future may weight no more than 1.5 tons” In less than one lifetime, I can do most of my work, anywhere in World, from my iPhone.
Evolve or die.
