Have passwords had their day? Is there now a safer way to protect our access on the myriad of different sites that we use on a daily basis? It would appear the powers that be at Google believe so, in an article on wired.co.uk Google outlines a couple of methods they are looking at to replace passwords and on the surface they seem like a good idea, obviously there will be issues to be ironed out, what happens if its lost? How quickly can access be restored? What if the device is stolen? But we assume that will be taken care of before any launch. On the other side of the coin It may cut down on the amount of phishing emails sent out, leaving our inboxes free from scam after scam. It should also remove the need for complex passwords so no more SaY67$.Kod just simple, easy to remember passwords. We feel something has to be done, and Google appears to be heading in the right direction in our opinion.

Snowed under with all sorts

This week has been a crash course in a number of different aspects. The week started with the decision to become a member of the Microsoft Partner Network, allowing us to offer Microsoft cloud based products such as Office 365 to our clients. This came with a plethora of paperwork and powerpoint presentations to wade through, and this was the start of what essentially became a week of reading. From the Business Gateway Seminars on Business Finance, VAT and Tax, to the Google Fundamentals exam prep, which allows us to find the best way to utilise your Ad-Words Campaigns therefore getting any potential client the best possible return for their cash.  In between all this the holding page for our new client Anderson Locksmiths was put in place. Just something informing visitors to the site that the site is coming soon with an emergency contact number just incase. I’m ending the week now with a bash at using Sage Accounting software which is sure to be wonderful. Thanks for listening to my ramblings on my weekly update and I look forward to speaking to you soon
