It stomps all over MS SkyDrive. I haven't tried Office 365 and may never need to if Docs keeps improving.</p> <p>Two Hills financial management is now on <a href="http://www.xero.com" target="_blank">Xero</a>. there were one or two features of MYOB I missed but overall it has been a major step forward for the business: account reconciliation is a snip thanks to the bank feeds, and reporting is much better. i love the dashboard.</p> <p>And now I hope I can fire Visio (the other major sticking point besides Word), as i trial <a href="http://www.lucidchart.com" target="_blank">LucidChart</a>: Cloud storage, Visio import, online collaboration...</p> Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:04:34 +0000 skeptic comment 9413 at http://www.itskeptic.org I didn't make it to the cloud http://www.itskeptic.org/two-hills-cloud-based-business-strategy-2011#comment-8746 <p>I'm still on the journey to Cloud. My issue is enough time to perform due diligence. Office365 still looks interesting, if the functionality is sufficient. Google Docs is getting better but still not rich enough. Google Apps is a no-go: I would need to move my domain onto Apps and change my email address. That all looks too hard at the moment.</p> <p>So many systems to test and pilot. Just like a "real" company moving to Cloud: it all looks so simple from a geek perspective; the catch is in the details, the practicalities and the diligence.</p> Thu, 29 Dec 2011 21:13:05 +0000 skeptic comment 8746 at http://www.itskeptic.org author to author http://www.itskeptic.org/two-hills-cloud-based-business-strategy-2011#comment-7818 <p>"My next book has dropped a whole lot of cool features of Word just to make the reformatting for Kindle less painful."</p> <p>Exactly why I am now realizing I no longer need Word either. OpenOffice didn't handle frames to my satisfaction - doesn't do marginalia well - but the marginalia in my 1st edition translated very poorly to Kindle anyways... After this rev, it's bye bye Microsoft.</p> <p>Charles T.
