Data Governance for Regular People
Every time a kilobyte of data is generated, it becomes someone’s responsibility. You have to decide where to store it, whether to back it up, how to secure it, and even when to destroy it. Our team members who operate out of the same office have an extremely robust system for managing data, but because I work remotely, my data management must be done separately. Right now, I use a laptop with 2 Terabytes of storage as my primary device, backed up to Microsoft OneDrive and CrashPlan. As my laptop is nearly outgrown, it’s time to examine my own options for data governance.
Tech Gift Guide
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… that time when we put together our 2017 tech gift guide! We’ve put together a list of our most beloved—or most coveted—technology products for this year at every price point. We won’t be posting recommendations for gifts that costs thousands of dollars (who does that?) or for charging cords or battery backups, because yawn. Our guide is 100% wheat, 0% chaff.
Should You Switch to Cloud-Based Email?
If you have set up an email address on a brand-new domain in the last 3 years or so, this blog post is not for you. But if you’ve had email for 7 or 8 years, you might still have POP or IMAP email. Some hosts, like GoDaddy, charge for each mailbox. Some hosts, like Hostgator, allow you to run as many mailboxes as you want from your hosting package. One of our clients has been running all his company’s email from a hosting package that costs a little over $50 per year for close to a decade. When the costs are that low, it does seem difficult to justify a move to cloud-based email that would cost (at minimum) about $50 per USER per year.
