Hosted Email Distribution Lists – Sherweb fits the bill

Posted on 2011-04-26 by claritech

We recently migrated one of our clients to Google AppsTM for Business from in-house Microsoft® Exchange. Everything went pretty smoothly until it came to distribution lists for their email newsletters and announcements. Here's the issue: While Google does a great job of processing distribution lists through Google Groups, these lists cannot be managed (or accessed) via Micro...

Google Apps – Is it right for your company?

Posted on 2010-02-28 by claritech

I've been testing Google Apps Premier Edition for the last month and this note details my likes and dislikes about the service offering. Overall, while I think Google Apps holds promise, its smartphone support is lacking and might not be the best choice for all companies. Likes Multiple calendars - while at first I thought the lack of category capability was a bit of a pai...

Two-Factor Part II – OpenID, VeriSign PIP and PhoneFactor

Posted on 2009-11-26 by claritech

As you may already know, I am a huge believer in two-factor authentication. You should keep in mind that two-factor authentication is not the absolute answer to Internet security problems. It is critical that you keep your computer patched with current antivirus software and that you browse and use email with care. I won't get too much into the technology other than to say i...

Yet another cool hosted service – Draftix.com

Posted on 2009-09-30 by claritech

I recently had the opportunity to test another hosted service, Draftix.com. I found it by searching for some software that would help with season ticket group distribution.

After doing a quick...

Livin’ in the Cloud

Posted on 2009-08-26 by claritech

As I embrace the concept of cloud computing, I've been asking myself if it's possible to live completely in the cloud. To get a picture of what I'm talking about here, imagine doing all of your computer-related work at an Internet cafe or on a diskless netbook. And I mean "all" of your work. My revelation that living in the cloud could be a real possibility came to me abou...

PayPal and two-factor authentication

Posted on 2009-08-07 by claritech

I've been a huge proponent of two-factor (something you know and something you have/are) authentication for several years now. I understand that nothing is 100% secure, but I haven't seen anything better come along. I'd like to see more services provide this type of authentication option. PayPal has a feature called Security Key that allows you to add two-factor authenticat...
