Cloud Computing CourseThe Cloud is big news, but to most it’s a pretty abstract concept with no clear place to start. Well, all you need to know is that the cloud can save you time, increase productivity and give you more time to grow your business.

You might have heard of tools like Dropbox, Evernote and Google Docs, but what do they do? How do they work together? And how, most importantly, can they make your life easier and improve your business practises.

This course looks at three main tools, and lists a number of others and their possibilities:

  1. Dropbox
    Since the release of Dropbox, it’s growth has been phenomenal, and no wonder. It allows you access to your files from anywhere, on any device. It allows quick, easy file sharing with your colleagues or customers. And it allows you to work with your colleagues on creating shared collections of documents, saving hours in lost emails, version conflicts and corrupted files.
  2. Google Drive
    Similar to Dropbox and formerly known as Google Docs, Google Drive comes into it’s own when more than 1 person is working on the same document. If you work with colleagues on shared spreadsheets, word documents or presentations, then Google Drive will make your life so much easier.
  3. Evernote
    The king of organisational tools, Evernote will allow you to keep track of all the information in your life. Spot a great product in another shop? Well, take a photo and add it to your ‘New Products’ notebook.  Spot a web article with some great business improvement ideas? Click a button on the web clipper and it’ll be added to your ‘To Read’ list. Evernote can organise your life, and make sure you never lose another great idea.

The cloud holds so much potential for improving the efficiency of just about any business, even if it just allows you to work smarter and faster by yourself. Take this course today and win back hours of your day to use on far more important things!
