Writing for a Traditional Publication
jasonjohnsontv:
Awhile back I submitted an article to Business Review West Michigan and it was featured in their online companion publication Influence West Michigan. Influence goes out to over 7,000 email subscribers with as many who visit the blog online; several of the pieces run online, also appear in a print edition. I decided to write an article to all the small business owners and colleagues who at the time, had been pushing-back and causing a ton of friction about utilizing social media for small business. Several of these detractors seemed determined to come up with every excuse in the book not to get involved online. Many were bent on blowing social media off as an unimportant, feckless fad while others bemoaned the cost of the time it would take. Everyone wanted to know “What’s the ROI of social media?”.

Simple Collaboration
Collaboration...the sharing of information either in a single forum by two or more individuals usually discussing the same major topic.
There are many different ways to collaborate; email, file shares, enterprise collaboration tools like EMC Documentum eRoom or Microsoft Sharepoint, and as simple as using Notepad in a shared location. To pick one, you need to know what the end goal is first before you start looking at your options. Are you only needing to share ideas, or do you want a place to store files and have your own workspace? Each option has its pros and cons but there are a few major features to keep in mind when looking for a good solution.
A server based system like Sharepoint or eRoom requires a lot more upfront planning and configuration. On the other hand, these solutions offer a gamut of features like personal workspaces, workflow, databases, and places to store content. If you business is very project centric, then these options provide a large return on investment by organizing and saving time. These options present a wide variety of tools that can be used to complete many different tasks.
Email is a widely overused tool to collaborate. Even though email was never designed to be a tool where ideas are shared, it is a simple and somewhat effective way to discuss ideas. Because email is not technical design for this, it is very inefficient at the job.
Chat programs can also be used for collaboration. This would allow users to discuss topics real-time. The problem here is a lack of good history tracking. You can usually archive chat sessions but they are not easily searchable.
Forums are a good place to work on ideas with a group of people. They are organized in discussions, posts and/or threads. This way you can create separate areas in your forum to segregate ideas and thoughts to collaborate on. These do require some additional setup and maintenance. Searching becomes easier and more effective with forums.
Newer cloud based collaboration services are becoming more and more ideal. Most of these are quick setup and full of features. Being web based, you can easily access the interface from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. Sharing is also simplified where the author can send out a single link where the other collaborators can access the content directly. To simplify the processes even more, you can share access without the need to login.
A good example of a web based collaboration tool is Google Docs. With GDocs, users can start a document and invite others to login later or at the same time. If you are collaborating real-time, users will see each other add content to the document. You can also check back in and see any changes that have been made and who made them. This is probably the simplest choice for getting collaboration up and running with very minimal setup.
To summarize, finding the right collaboration tool is an important step to working together with others on a single idea. I would suggest looking at these options whenever there is a need to collaborate; you will benefit in the long run by have a more effecient process for sharing and getting together to discuss a topic. You will also have a good wealth of historical data to be used again in the future.
Make sure you figure out the need before looking at the options. If you pick a solution before you find the need, you can do a lot of work that may need to be redone if the solution does not have all the right stuff.
Happy hunting.

Example of simple communication
Thought this was worth posting. I arrived at a client site to work on an issue with another vendor in which I am not completely sure who to contact. I get into the server room and find that a remote session is going on. So instead of over complicating the situation and wasting a lot of time to get a hold of this person, I just open up notepad and type him a message; old school chat. Not 3 minutes later I receive a response that he will call me as soon as he is done with another user. Simple can be more effective than other more complex ways of communication. Now I need to find a good example where smoke signals are more effective. :)

It's official
I went out and acquired simpleinfotech.com so now I am official. I am looking to expand this weblog and try to make a brand out of it. I am excited to see where I can take this.
The new link to this is: http://blog.simpleinfotech.com/
Here are a couple nice ways to save some monies on tech. I like the cloud options, refurb equipment, and shared workspaces. We are going to start to see a high rise of people working remotely and using coworking facilities to get together. Check out workthefactory.com for a GR coworking office.
Interesting to think about a mouse being old technology. You just seem to forget that you are even using it. What would you rather use, a mouse or your finger?

Simple cloud storage
Of all the online storage solutions, there is one must have, Dropbox. This sets all of them apart by making file synchronization seamless. Sign up, install the application on multiple computers and on your phone, and when you copy a file to the folder, it is on all your devices. You start out with 2GB of free space and can earn up to 8GB by referring other people. So click here so I can get more space: http://db.tt/0z8UBn7

New name
I have changed the name and URL of my blog to Simple InfoTech @ http://simpleinfotech.tumblr.com
SimpleIT just didn't make much sense if you didn't know the premise of this blog.
I have also changed my twitter handle from @therooster0514 to: @SimpleInfoTech
Look forward to postin' some more blogs and hope they are informational.
What do you think of utilizing products such as Open Office (free), Google Apps ($50/user/year) or products such as those offered by 37signals (various costs depending on desired tools/packages/users) as opposed to typical MS Office with similar function (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Project...)? Costs? Support? Maintenance? what other considerations need to be considered? Thanks for you help
In the past 5-10 years, there has been a big push for more cost effective software solutions. Before that, software was "spared and no expense." Companies would buy software based on "wow factors" and not return on investments. Since the decline of the economy, companies have had to re-look at this strategy and come up with better ways of saving money, but still leveraging their business with technologies.
With that said, I think we will see a lot more adoption of non-Microsoft applications. This has also changed the game for big companies like Microsoft to force new features and more agile applications to keep up with the competition. Google apps is a great example with it gaining a lot of traction. Microsoft has been forced to join the "cloud" movement; even though it is a little late in the game. I love the Microsoft ads, "to the cloud!" as if they have invented this cloud thing.
The major consideration to make when changing a major business application like Microsoft Office it user acceptance. Companies will go through a lot of pain when changing something as widely used as Office is. There needs to be a good game plan and a good pilot project in order to transition smoothly. When you push new things on the end users, they will quickly and swiftly derail your train.
