Thursday, March 10th, 2011

FibernetFibernet posted a question and answer on their website yesterday about what is going on with Heritage Web Design/HIT Web Design and the Fibernet relationship. It looks like Fibernet is keeping all of heritages websites live and trying to work directly with it’s customers to help them out and not shut them down. Good of Fibernet to step up to the plate and help these people out.

Heritage opened in 2001 and shot to become one of the the top of the website design companies in the world.  They hit the Inc 500 list in 2007. Heritage Web Solutions closed it’s doors on Tue March 8th at noon directing all its’ customers to Fibernet a local company that hosted Heritage. Fibernet is a local Utah company that has hosted Heritage over the past 10 years. Fibernet is currently taking all phone calls and customer service that Heritage Web Solutions dumped on them.

74% of Businesses To Increase Cloud Hosting Spend

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Nearly three in four (74%) small and midsize businesses (SMBs) will increase their spending on cloud-based software in 2011, according to a recent survey conducted by Egnyte.

Over half — 51% — of SMBs, meanwhile, will bump up their budgets for collaboration software this year. Egnyte, which sells storage, backup, file sharing, and other Web-based services, polled 125 of its resellers on the 2011 spending plans of their SMB customers. The survey was conducted online earlier this year by Zoomerang.

Those rather rosy outlooks for the year ahead could turn even brighter: 44% of respondents to the collaboration software spending question said “I don’t know,” while just 6% answered a definitive “No.” (Egnyte rounded up the final percentage breakdowns in its report, which results in a total of 101% for the collaboration question.)
