Access

Cloud accounting benefits greatly from its ease of access.  Cloud accounting excels beyond the more traditional approach in that it can be accessed anywhere, anytime, 24/7. This means that you can be miles away from any office environment but still have access to and make changes or updates to important accounts information, provided you have access to the Internet.

Real Time Data

With cloud accounting, your accounts are updated in real time. This allows the user to quickly log in and gather up to date accurate data at the click of a button.  It may also prevent the user from making costly errors based on outdated figures.

User Friendly

Cloud accounting software just like any other piece of software has a learning curve. However, most cloud accounting software nowadays is designed with the user in mind. Most applications provide tutorials and easy to use guides to enable users to make the best of their software.

Backups

Another helpful feature associated with the majority of cloud accounting software’s online is automatic backups. This feature ensures that a backup of your important financial figures is taking regularly to avoid any loss of data. This feature is very important and provides the user with peace of mind.

Easy share data

Cloud accounting makes it easier than ever to share your financial records with others. Most software’s on the market today allow for multiple user accounts.  This makes sharing data easy, secure and cost effective.

Cost savings

With cloud accounting you have nothing to install, and nothing to download. All of your accounts are stored within the cloud.  This saves you money on IT and set up costs and also saves you on costly upgrades.

Easily Integrated

With benefits such as those highlighted above, it is no wonder the rate of uptake has been so high. It is only a matter of time before traditional accounting is phased out so don’t be left in the dark, make the switch now and save.

Understanding Push Notifications for Your Marketing Plan

Nearly every adult in the United States has a cell phone and more than half of those are smartphones, reports Pew Research. More importantly, two-thirds of us check our phones for notifications even if it does not ring or vibrate. We live in an age where mobile devices serve as our entryway to our interconnected world. For marketers, this mobile network is a huge resource for developing brand recognition and consumer loyalty, assuming that you know how to access it. And, a big part of this process comes through push notifications.

Pushing and Pulling

In marketing, there is push and there is pull. Push marketing actually places the product in front of the consumer, much like a door-to-door salesperson. Packaging design and showrooms also fall under push marketing. Advertising, coupons and word-of-mouth are pull marketing techniques.

Push notifications can be part of a pull marketing or a push marketing strategy, depending on how you do it. Push notifications use your app to place information in front of a potential customer. They can be part of a pull marketing technique if the information is about a sale, event or special, for example. Or, it could be a direct solicitation, like a Groupon ad, which would be a push sale. Either way, understanding the marketing technique and its subsequent outcome will help you develop the right push notification tool for your needs.

The Sensor Network

GPS systems in smartphones like the new iPhone 6 have created a network of sensing devices that can deliver push notifications based on location. Using programming called RESTful services, an application can tap into the device and deliver a notification consistent with your marketing message. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), use this RESTful background and the position-sensing component of the device to allow your application to send notifications that are dependent on the location of the user. The practical upshot of this is that your app will send a message when the customer is outside of your store.

Making the App

Just understanding the marketing and technology of push notifications does not gain you sales. You need an app for that. Because of the demand, mobile app development can range from do-it-yourself to hiring a professional programmer. At the beginning of 2015, Business News Daily put out a list of its 14 best DIY app makers, and at the top of the list was BuildFire. This app maker has a robust DIY tool so that you can create your own push app or you can hire BuildFire to do it for you. This is the best of both worlds for those who are not savvy developers.

Third Party Push

If you do not want to spend the time or money on making your own mobile application, you can use a third party push notification provider. For example, Amazon’s Simple Notification Service has a text-integrated notification system that is compatible with Google, Apple, Amazon Fire and Windows operating systems. Although it does not have some of the high end functions a WSN does, it has great brand recognition and can cost as low as 50 cents per million notifications.

Microsoft and Verizon:

As we all know about the story, how Verizon Wireless acted against the curiosity of Windows Phone and most especially against Lumia users. When Microsoft stepped out for Lumia Denim Updates since yesterday, there arose a little bit of positive reaction from Verizon that paves a way for a good reason to trust the news as it comes from Microsoft directly.

Though Verizon was absolutely clueless on any Lumia update including Cyan and it is Microsoft, more voluntarily took the things in its hands and has created a clear way for Denim update that opted to skip the Cyan update. Verizon’s all the three Lumia handsets such as: Lumia 822, Lumia 928 and flagship Lumia Icon would receive the update and the official time frame for Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 would be th e next few days, whereas Lumia Icon would receive it in the beginning of 2015 and as for now, some of the Verizon users have already received it and now it looks like good days arosed for Verizon users.

 

This means that the aforementioned Verizon-branded handsets would go for skipping the Lumia Cyan update totally that haven’t received and can go straightly to Denim. Also, the Lumia Denim update for Verizon comes with:

  • Consumer VPN for better security
  • Live Folders
  • Cortana
  • Many upgrades for the Camera app.

In addition to Cortana, the Lumia 928 and 822 will be receiving a number of features that came to other phones along with the Windows Phone 8.1.1 that includes: Background images on Live tiles, The Word Flow keyboard, Action center and more.

Apart from this, Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 by itself comes with some of the new user-facing features that include: native application folder creation on the Start screen support for interactive phone covers. Update 1 is now new with several performance improvements and fixes.

Manually, go for Lumia Denim Updates by opting the Check for updates option in the “Phone update” menu in “Settings”. In simple words: Settings -> Phone update -> Check for updates.

Lumia Denim Update:

Microsoft has already comes up with its shared details about the Lumia Denim software update in  its Lumia Conversations blog that makes a roadmap for the Verizon customers with the Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 to get notifications to upgrade by Denim updates.

The Lumia Denim update act as a part of firmware and Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade where the firmware portion of the upgrade includes big camera upgrades but as for today, Microsoft’s Lumia camera experience little slow and following the upgrade, all Lumia owners need to find that they can take better pictures a lot faster than they could before. The Windows Phone portion of the upgrade comes with an

an all-time-listening upgrade for the Cortana personal assistant provided that the phone’s hardware supports it and Lumia Denim also adds 4K video recording.

 

The users of Lumia 928 and Lumia 822 users could find that they’re automatically prompted to download the update when connected to Wi-Fi and the updation would take not more than a half-hour. During updation, users are not encouraged to take up: the phone calls, listen to music, receive text messages.

Simultaneously, Windows Phone users can go for the manual trigger update by moving into the Settings app and then tapping on Phone Update. In this also, it is very important for users to be connected to Wi-Fi before downloading the update.

There is no idea for the other Windows Phones that are available in the United States can achieve the Lumia Denim update which is  not currently available to anyone on AT&T or T-Mobile.
