Communications, Simple and Relevant 

Content, whether verbal, visual, written, or digital, is at the heart of all communication.  Content relevant to specific needs at specific locations is the highest value communication.  Mobile devices increase expectations for relevant communication.  "Show me don't tell me" - video on small screens is an opportunity for training, education and promotion unlike anything before.

Complex interfaces are the enemy of just getting things done in the new mobile world.  Mobile and cloud create timely, relevant information systems that are starkly simple, intuitive, and easy to use.  The paperless office is finally here, with exponential increases in ease of use, performance and purposeful innovation.

Simple Servers

Mobile IS client-server technology.  The Mini Server is the latest Apple server technology to ease the transition of business information from scattered information silo's into real time mobile information systems.

From the iPod, to the Touch, iPhone and iPad, Apple regularly simplifies tech with entirely new devices. Tablets had been around for a decade.  Tablets never struck the balance of price, power, and ease of use that make the iPad a modern sensation.

Lightning strikes again as the Mini Server bridges legacy PC hardware to the latest mobile devices in cohesive networks with unprecedented ease.  Serving the right information, to the right place, at the right time, across multiple operating systems and devices has never before been this simple.

The mini server is small, powerful, easy to use, easy on the environment  and priced pennies on the dollar  versus traditional small business server systems.  Mini Server + any mobile = no simpler way to explore cloud services on high speed local networks.

eZ Publish  Stands the Test of Time

Founded in 1999, eZ Systems was defining the direction of digital information transfer, Web Content Management Systems, before competitors had conceived of the need for such a system.

In the early days, the eZ contribution was the idea of a feature complete package including articles, blogs, forums, and polls delivered from a single framework.  Soon, eZ was automating important tasks like table of contents and SEO friendly urls.  

Today eZ Publish delivers unique forward looking features:

• Mobile ready, device dependent layouts tailored to the screen size
• Integration of Web with backend server systems
• The latest RSS and real time notification technologies
• Premium content, protected content packaging
• Distributed authoring and versioning
• High resolution video 
• Far more features than can be related in this small space

"The key is simplicity. If the system requires more than a couple of hours of training, the goal of distributed authoring is unlikely to be met. Instead, the burden of updating the web site will fall on the few who take the time to learn the new software – probably the same group of HTML developers that were the bottleneck in maintaining the previous static HTML site."  -- Seth Gottlieb
