By Christophe Primault, 7 February 2013
"We have so much data but we don´t know how to interpret it!" This is a situation that managers often complain about. The fact is that now IT can collect nearly every single bit of data you can imagine, which can bring to light very powerful realizations about your business, but if you don´t have the right tools to convert this data into information that drives decision making, you´re still left with a bunch of numbers. Excel has been the standard solution, but we have evolved way beyond the spreadsheet, and on the market there are now numerous tools with analytical and visualization functions that allows users to play with their data in a meaningful way. Business Intelligence Software is today an umbrella term for the processes, methods and measurements businesses use to easily analyze and understand information relevant to the past and current performance of the enterprise, and enable more informed decision making for the future. This business intelligence software infographic seeks to compare the most important business intelligence and analytical cloud applications in an attempt to ease the decision making process small businesses need to go through when deciding upon a solution.

[Infographic] How Can Cloud Computing Save The World?
By Virtual Internet, 29 November 2012
This is a guest post by Virtual Internet: As cloud computing continues its vast rate of adoption around the world, we pondered an interesting thought at Virtual Internet: can cloud computing honestly go some way to saving our precious planet? With carbon emissions currently causing a significant amount of damage, one way we can reduce these emissions is by streamlining our energy use in businesses. Cloud hosting is one realistic, scalable and efficient method of doing so. Having done some research we’ve come up with the infographic below that outlines this interesting proposition. Google states that SMEs will be able to lower their energy usage by 65%-85%. If every SME could achieve this then we can realistically reduce carbon emissions by a staggering amount. What’s more, businesses, globally, could save a huge amount of money. It’s believed that there are around 83 million SME’s around the world which, if they all made use of cloud computing, could reduce the amount of energy used by a grand total of 5.35 billion tonnes, which is twice the weight of Lake Victoria!! This also translates, in monetary terms, to billions and billions of bucks!
