One area of confusion concerning Cloud computing is its relationship with outsourcing: ultimately IT service delivery from the Cloud is outsourcing because it is the delivery of shared, multi-tenanted IT services by external parties for the consumption of organisations of all sizes in any geography. However, for those organisations already outsourcing aspects of their IT, the Cloud delivery model raises operational questions about how best to transition to this lower cost capability and which areas offer the most appropriate point from which to begin the migration. And what indeed should the CIO expect from an outsource agreement as this delivery model becomes more mainstream? An area we explored in “ Cloud Computing – A step-change for IT services”, and that is now coming more sharply into focus, is the role of the service integrator. This is the ability of the service provider to assist with the integration of SaaS solutions and on-premise software implementatio...

Illustration: Karl Hilzinger. The number of disasters in recent times has turned the attention of small businesses towards the best way to store their company data. Increasingly, SMEs are considering 'cloud' online accounting systems as a way to limit risk and streamline their operations. Cloud computing is a way of renting capacity in a provider's data centre and connecting to it over the internet. The provider's staff carries out the maintenance and upgrades of hardware and software and customers typically pay a monthly subscription fee to rent the service. Some of the benefits of moving business elements such as accounting to the cloud include having your information stored securely online rather than on a server or single computer, always having access to the latest software versions and being to access the information anywhere, from any platform, as long as it's connected to the internet. Some of the online accounting systems available in the cloud incl...

Bone Density Test Some women are at greater risk for osteoporosis - the decrease of bone mass and density as a result of the depletion of bone calcium and protein - than others. Your physician can help you determine your risk of developing osteoporosis by taking your personal and family medical history, and by performing a bone density test or bone mass measurement. What is a bone density test? A bone density test, also known as bone mass measurement or bone mineral density test, measures the strength and density of your bones as you approach menopause and, when the test is repeated sometime later, can help determine how quickly you are losing bone mass and density. These tests are painless, noninvasive, and safe. They compare your bone density with standards for what is expected in someone of your age, gender, and size and to the optimal peak bone density of a healthy young adult of the same gender. Bone density testing can help to: * detect low bone density before a fracture ...
