You really do need your own enterprise IM system
The article linked below should demonstrate a good enough reason to use an enterprise IM platform rather than public IM. Apart from the levels of ‘security’ offered by each public IM network it’s fairly obvious from the embedded chart that … Continue reading

Support is our driving force at Cleartext, if customers are happy they spend more and give you a bit of leeway when things go off the rails. It’s for this reason I’m recommending JoomlaPlates as a Joomla template provider. During … Continue reading
Hosted archiving
I used to wonder why companies would want to archive their email externally, given they’d almost certainly be charged a premium. That is until I got a call from a client needing help ‘fixing’ a tape archive that wasn’t restoring. … Continue reading

And while I was looking for Flex related content I found Slingshot another excellent idea for deploying desktop apps. This one is a bit like Google Gears allowing browers apps to run offline.
