Learn the principles and 'blueprint' to running a lean, cost-effective company on Internet-based business systems and tools, from a working entrepreneur, former CIO and professional 'explainer.'"Cloud Computing" is more than a buzzword. All of the systems required to run a company are available now. The huge time-and-cost roadblock of old fashioned IT is gone - for the companies that grab the opportunity. This course will teach you how.My aim in this course is to give business owners a blueprint for building and running their business on SaaS ("Software as a Service") solutions. It's not a technical course for cloud-computing IT professionals. It's a pragmatic approach to evaluating, selecting and running cloud systems for business use.Some technical terms are unavoidable, so by design, the course materials are all visual, to help grasp the concepts and connections even if the terms are unfamiliar. When I mention specific companies and services, it's not a 'commercial endorsement' - it's my opinion, based on firsthand use.You won't find this approach to business cloud-computing spelled out in any single book, because I haven't written it yet. I run two successful businesses this way, with a business partner and employees. We've made mistakes, refined, evaluated and learned the hard way. Watching these lessons will, I hope, save you a few years of the same challenges and let you focus on your business!This is just a better way to get systems that support running and growing business. If you don't agree, or if it doesn't work for your specific business, contact me within 30 days and I'll happily refund your course fee.Who is the target audience?
.
This course is intended for people that run a business. Startups and small businesses with little-to-no legacy IT stand to benefit the most. Medium-sized businesses feeling constrained by their IT systems can use the same approach to start freeing themselves

Cloud Business Foundations
7 lectures01:38:53Domain Name - Your Businesses' Key Internet Identity Domain names - those familiar ABCDEF.com addresses - are a foundation for effective business, and for cloud-computing systems. This brief explanation includes both DO's and DON'Ts about picking and registering your domain name.
Domain Hosting Where should you host your domain name? The cheapest answer isn't always the best answer. This lesson lays out some key technologies and functions to look for, and why.
Web Sites and Content Management Systems You're going to need a web site. Can you get everything you need from a Web designer? Trick question. The truth is, a Web site today is a live reflection of your business. You need to plan to manage the content of your site actively - regardless of whether you hire a designer or adapt a template. This lesson covers some of the underlying technology options for cost-effective Web content management.
Email: A Communications Tool (Sometimes...) Yeah, you know all about email - or do you? Don't skip this lesson. Taking control of your email system is a critical step in managing a bunch of cloud-based systems.
Email: A Cloud Management Tool! Email accounts are the keys in the locks of most subscription systems, and you need email control to have a keyring for your business.
Phones & Faxes In The Cloud The days of buying a PBX system before launching a business are over - thankfully! You can get amazing phone-and-fax management now, without an RJ45 jack in sight. This lesson looks at some options from free to paid. It also covers that refuses-to-die technology called the fax, managing faxes without a single piece of paper.
The Top-Secret Better Password Management Approach With conventional IT, you lock up the machines when you leave the office. With cloud systems, PASSWORDS become the main source of control and access. This lesson gives you a manageable scheme for passwords within the company - more secure than the "one password for everything", but easy enough to learn that you can do it from memory. (Yet every password is different!)
