Managing data in a remote office is often complex and challenging. Some tasks can be completed independently, but others require consolidation. Potential issues include the following:

• How are your employees billing their time?
• How are projects being implemented?
• Are problems communicated effectively between branch offices?
• Are internal issues and customer issues tracked efficiently?
• Are resources having special knowledge being used effectively by various organizations?
• Are these organizations securing all data?
• Are processes that can be tracked centrally (e.g., contacting leads via phone) be done more efficiently?

If you do a Google search on Backup, File Replication or Synchronization software you will see hundreds and thousands of hits. I want to share with you two tools we have been using effectively for sometime that a small business can use for little or no cost.

• SyncBack - Allows you to sync your files from your computer to an ftp site. This is essentially a nice ftp backup utility with lots of options.
• DeltaCopy - It can synchronize large files very quickly by sending differences between the files in small compressed chunks.

This week one of our customers called and asked us to provide some advise on whether to host OfficeClip Contact Manager to a Virtual Private Server (VPS), Dedicated Server or Cloud. This led me to look at various options on cloud computing as it exists today.
