Did your customer always pay you late?

When i'm meet up a friend who startup a business consultant company today. The first word would be he say... "Haiz.z..... hard to collect the payment in today market."

I will reply immediately:

Why? Market down? It's because you do not want to collect? Or, you forgot to ask for payment? Or your customer run away from you? All the possibilities I mention has not hit the answer. 

I will then reply again... No worry, take it easy. Why not you hire a person to manage your account and report to you the financial status in weekly or monthly basics? How about get yourself a good software manage your overdue invoices. With this way, you can refer to the system to perfume the job as "debts collector". I believe this will resolve your problem.

Advantages of Email

On previewing the highly developed and sophisticated technicalities, definition of email can simply be stated as, 'a form of mail sent electronically'. The email was first used in 1965, facilitating the users over a computer network to communicate with each other. SDC's Q32 and MIT's CTSS were the first computer systems to use the email for communication. In 1966, this mailing service was introduced to common users.

Email
The abbreviated form of electronic mail is 'email'. It is a system used for creating, sending and storing textual data in the digital form over a network. Earlier, the email system was based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) mechanism, a protocol used for sending emails from one server to another. Today's email technology uses the store-and-forward model. In this model, the user sends and receives information on their own computer terminal. However, the computer is used only for connecting to the email architecture. The creation, transmission and storage of email takes place only when the connection with this email architecture is established.

Email is one of the many technological developments to have influenced our lives. It has changed the medium of communication. So, it becomes necessary for us to look at the benefits and problems from this popular mailing tool.

Advantages of Email
There are numerous benefits of using an email service. These benefits are compiled in an easy-to-understand manner for the readers.

• Easy to use: Sending an email frees us from the tedious task of managing data for daily use. It helps us manage our contacts, send mails quickly, maintain our mail history, store the required information, etc.
• Speed: An email is delivered instantly and anywhere across the globe. No other service matches the email in terms of speed. You can send the same message/mail to multiple users simultaneously; thus, a lot of time is saved.
• Easy to prioritize: Since emails come with a subject line, it is easy to prioritize them and ignore the ones that are unwanted.
• Reliable and secure: Constant efforts are taken to improve the security in electronic mails. It makes the email one of the secured ways of communication.
• Informal and conversational: The language used in emails is generally simple and thus, makes the process of communication informal. Sending and receiving emails takes less time, so it can be used as a tool for interaction.
• Easier for reference: When a person has to reply to a mail, he/she can use the provision of attaching previous mails as references. It helps refresh the recipient's know-how on what he is reading.
• Automated emails: It is possible to send automated emails using special programs like the autoresponders. The autoresponders reply only to those messages with a generalized, pre-written text.
• Environment friendly: Postal mails use paper as a medium to send letters. Electronic mail therefore, prevents a large number of trees from getting axed. It also saves the fuel needed for transportation.
• Use of graphics: Colorful greeting cards and interesting pictures can be sent through emails. It adds value to the email service.
• Advertising tool: Nowadays, many individuals and companies are using the email service to advertise their products, services, etc.
• Cheap Service: The expenses incurred in using an email service are less. However, it also depends on whether you have an Internet connection at home.
• Data Storage: The providers of email service offer enough space for data storage. Also, the process of sorting and arranging mails as per the subject, date, etc. is made quite easy for users.
• Provision of Attachments: The feature of attachments allow users to send huge chunks of data in the same mail. Also, sending attachments doesn't raise the cost as in the postal service.

Difference between Web Portal and Websites

Some people always telling us Google is a website, Alibaba is a website. But it's not a right explanation.

“Web portal is a vehicle by which a user gains an access of driving broad array of resources, while a website is a destination in itself”
A web portal and website have a strong linkage between each other, where it relay on each other to grow. Website represents an organization to outside world, but a portal provides multiple user roles with a common access point.
A website is also a portal! If it broadcast information from different independent resources, thus offering a public service function to visitors.

Web Portal
It refers to a website or service that offers broad array of resources and services such as email, forums, search engines and online shopping malls. It’s an organized gateway that helps to configure the access to information found on the Internet. Web portal application offers consistent look and feel with access control into multiple applications and databases. Some of the web portals are, AOL, iGoogle, Yahoo and even more.

Websites
A website refers to a location on the internet and a collection of web pages, images, videos which are addressed relative to a common URL. It’s nothing but a domain name hosted on a server which is accessible via Internet. Owing a website becomes an essential part for any businesses and company with no web presence is just running the risk of losing the business opportunities.

How Google AdWords Charge

AdWords puts you in complete control of your spending. There's no minimum spending requirement - the amount you pay for AdWords is up to you.

You control your costs in several ways:

 

Daily budget The budget you set is entirely up to you. Your daily budget should be the amount you're comfortable spending on that specific campaign each day. The daily budget determines how often your ads show throughout the day. If your daily budget is low, your ad won't appear every time it is searched for.

 

Bids The most common bidding option is Cost-per-click (CPC). CPC bids determine the amount you're willing to pay for each time someone clicks on your ad when it shows on Google or one of our partner sites. In general, a higher CPC bid can allow your ad to show at a higher position on the page.

 

Ad quality Quality is the most important factor in determining the amount you'll pay when someone clicks your keyword-targeted ad. The higher your Quality Score, the less you pay for a given ad position, and vice versa.

What is Cloud Computing? Operion is Cloud?

 

You may have heard the term cloud computing or ‘the Cloud,’ but could you describe what it is? There are so many definitions flying around that you wouldn’t be alone if you struggled to define it. Cloud computing is simply a set of pooled computing resources and services delivered over the web. When you diagram the relationships between all the elements it resembles a cloud.

Cloud computing—not to be confused with grid computing, utility computing, or autonomic computing—involves the interaction of several virtualized resources. Cloud Servers™ connect and share information based on the level of website traffic across the entire network. Cloud computing is often provided “as a service” over the Internet, typically in the form of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), or software as a service (SaaS).

Cloud computing customers don’t have to raise the capital to purchase, manage, maintain, and scale the physical infrastructure required to handle drastic traffic fluctuations. Instead of having to invest time and money to keep their sites afloat, cloud computing customers simply pay for the resources they use, as they use them. This particular characteristic of cloud computing—its elasticity—means that customers no longer need to predict traffic, but can promote their sites aggressively and spontaneously. Engineering for peak traffic becomes a thing of the past.
