How to Make Technology Work for Your Small Business

In decades past, small and start-up businesses were constrained by budgets and cash flow. There were limits to the reach they could extend into the marketplace, with cost barriers.

The cost of operating on a large scale was beyond the reach of small businesses, and equipment and technology came at a high price. Today, however, technology has done a lot to even the playing field for the smaller guys.

The Internet and technology has opened up an avenue for small businesses to reach global markets just as effectively as huge corporations. Let’s look at a few ways in which you can make technology work for you.

Smaller business has a better opportunity

Keep Operations Lean and Cost Effective

Do I need a big office, do all my staff need to work from one location?

More and more business’s are working from home or smaller premises. Much less business is done face-to-face (cost of mobility) so it may not necessary to have an large office overhead.

Just need a desk and chair, an internet and phone connection, and perhaps a plug for the coffee machine. Using technology, you can operate your business from just about anywhere. You don’t even need to be office-bound.

Virtual Technology - the cloud!

What can I use it for?

Website CMS systems (Content Management Systems) like Silverstripe
E Commerce (Magento)
Email - Marketing (Contactology)
Social Media
SEO
Pay Per Click
Telecoms (Voip)
CRM (Client Relationship Management System)
Back Office Systems, Software (freshbooks)

Making you more efficient, with time and cost

Giving You control

Flexible

All of the above can be accessed from a:
smart phone
Any computer
Any Location

The Key

The key to getting technology working for you is integration.

Identify the key areas where you can use cloud technology, look at the central functions, the key factors and work out from there.

Then look at how these key areas can be integrated and work.

Keep it simple, don’t go bespoke unless you need to

X.commerce the future

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:22:17 +0000

We posted last year that ebay had aquired the Magento technology, what is now clear is why.

Magento will be at the heart of the next generaltion of ecommerce solutions "x.commerce"

Visit the x.commerce website for more info

What Is X.commerce?

X.commerce is an open commerce ecosystem that enables merchants, solution providers, and developers to create the next generation of commerce solutions. It brings together various commerce technologies and capabilities built by developers, solution providers and from the eBay Inc. family (eBay Marketplaces, PayPal Payments, Magento Storefronts, etc.) for merchants to utilize through one single platform, with the least possible effort.

What are we trying to solve?

Reach - Distribution – Integration – Technology Innovation

In today’s world, technology is completely transforming the relationship between consumers and merchants. The evolution of technology and experience through smartphones, tablets, and social networks, has resulted in consumer shopping behavior that has spread well beyond the boundaries of the traditional store. This change has created the need for merchants to have a more comprehensive multi-channel support for their stores, in order to reach as many consumer touch points as possible at the right time.

Unfortunately most commerce platforms and technologies today are silo’ed and require a tremendous amount of customizations with different platforms and service providers.

For developers, building the solutions for merchants and consumers is a painful process that requires integrating with each and every service and API, requiring custom code, terminology, and operational aspects. Establishing the relationships among data that is spread out across multiple services and technologies is tedious and expensive.

On the other side, solution providers have to make a huge investment of time and resources to customize their solutions for every possible commerce platform and technology. This not only limits their reach but also slows down innovation in the commerce ecosystem.

The goal of the X.commerce is to be the engine that will drive technology-powered commerce to the next level and beyond. The X.commerce ecosystem provides a single integration model for merchants and developers that is platform, technology and language agnostic. This will enable developers to integrate with single platform and utilize the many solutions that are offered through it, and will enable merchants to quickly make use of new services to grow their business.

How does it work?

The X.commerce ecosystem consists primarily of:

Capabilities
Fabric
Messages.

Capabilities are technologies and services that provide solutions for commerce use cases. A capability is usually either a “provider capability” (when providing a business solution) or a “consumer capability” (when relying on provider capabilities to provide a specific solution to a merchant or an end consumer). To a certain extent, provider capabilities are analogous to service providers on the web, and consumer capabilities are analogous to applications, storefronts & extensions. But unlike typical service providers, applications, storefronts, and extensions, which can only act as one or other, any capability can act both as a provider and as a consumer at the same time.

For example, a capability running on behalf of a merchant can consume/utilize various multi-channel capabilities to increase the merchant’s distribution and reach. At the same time, the capability can also become an inventory provider for other capabilities.

The Fabric is an open message broker that provides a standards-based way to integrate and consume capabilities within the X.commerce ecosystem. It makes the integration of the capabilities with merchant stores and applications very simple. The Fabric uses the widely known topic-based Publish-Subscribe messaging pattern to provide a highly scalable and extensible solution. Capabilities publish and/or subscribe to various topics based on the service or functionality that they either provide or consume or both.

Publishing and subscribing (receiving) messages through the Fabric is done through simple HTTP POST requests, and can be implemented in almost any programming language and technology that provides a way to send and receive HTTP requests.

A message, consisting of payload and HTTP headers is sent to a topic:

The payload data is serialized in Apache Avro format
The HTTP headers are used to pass information such as authorization, the message schema, etc.,and
The topic is used as the URL path to which the message is POST’ed to (eg. https://api.x.com/fabric/marketplace/store/get)

The Avro schemas that are used to describe the message payload data are defined in X.commerce “message contracts”. The message contracts are defined as part of the X.commerce Open Commerce Language program to standardize the language, interaction and integration models for the users of the X.commerce Fabric.

What can you do?

The X.commerce ecosystem and the Fabric’s single-integration model provide several opportunities for merchants, developers and solution providers. Using the Fabric’s single integration model,

Merchants can utilize the extensions and applications to:
- Increase the reach of their products and services through various capabilities that offer a variety of new distribution channels (eg. marketplaces, SEO/SEM, etc.), expose their business data to other capabilities that enhance their business intelligence
- Take advantage of capabilities that offer newer features and functionalities, which would have taken a lot of resources, times and money to implement
- Access hundreds of thousands of developers and solution providers who can help them compete with other big online commerce providers.
Developers can:
- Access hundreds of millions of consumers and merchants who are hungry for better end-to-end commerce experiences
- Participate in an open ecosystem where they can build, provide and monetize various commerce-related tools and capabilities
- Find the most complete set of commerce related tools and capabilities that empower them to build better solutions for their merchants and consumers
- Build extensions and plugins to various storefronts (such as Magento and osCommerce) and platforms (such as Salesforce) out there in the industry to enable easier integrations with Fabric for both merchants and other developers
- Participate in defining and shaping up the message contracts that solve a variety of commerce business use cases.
Solution providers can:
- Reach millions of merchants connected to the Fabric through various extensions and plugins
- Simplify the integration process (lower the bar) for merchants and developers by making use of the standardized message contracts and open-standards-based technologies.
- Manage their relationships with merchants through Fabric’s secure and simplified on-boarding process.

Where to start?

At X.commerce Innovate Developer conference last year, a preview version of the Fabric was launched for early developer access. Developers could download and install the Fabric on their local machines to understand various aspects of the Fabric messaging model. This also gave developers a preview into what it takes to build capabilities using the asynchronous messaging paradigm used by the Fabric and how various things like message contracts, topics & tenants, and the relationships among them work.

On Jan 31^st2012, the hosted Fabric beta sandbox environment was made available to developers. Developers can now start building capabilities using the Fabric Sandbox environment, which provides a very realistic experience of how the Fabric will work in the production environment when it goes live. The Developer Portal provides the administrative interface where developers register their capabilities, subscribe to topics, authorize tenants and obtain the required authentication credentials to interact with the Fabric Sandbox environment.

In addition to the Developer Portal, both the standalone developer package and the X.commerce plugin for Eclipse have been updated and released to provide various tools and wizards for the developer to kick-start their integrations.

Flexible CSS for mobile browsers

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:09:14 +0000

A CSS Grid that fits to mobile and tablet devices without a second CSS type.

The 1140 grid fits perfectly into a 1280 monitor. On smaller monitors it becomes fluid and adapts to the width of the browser.

Beyond a certain point it uses media queries to serve up a mobile version, which essentially stacks all the columns on top of each other so the flow of information still makes sense.

By mobile, we really mean smart phones. But it works on devices that recognise 'handheld' in the style sheet media and/or media queries. With media queries you can even include x2 images for the iPhone 4 Retina Display.

Browser support

It works perfectly in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE7 & IE8.

It works alright in IE6. IE6 doesn't support max-width, so the grid doesn't fix to 1140px. It spans the full width of the browser. Most people using IE6 probably don't have monitors with a resolution higher than 1280x1024 though. Images are also not restrained to the width of the column because of max-width. But the extra image is hidden, rather than breaking the layout.

Ebay acquire Magento

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:45:36 +0000

The past several years have been an amazing journey for Magento, as we've grown from a new open source platform into an eCommerce leader. Along the way, we've built not only a platform, but a company and a worldwide community. Together, we've identified opportunities, taken risks, innovated, struggled, succeeded, and changed the face of eCommerce. Today marks a milestone on this journey as we announce the most exciting news in our company's history.

Magento has reached an agreement to be acquired by eBay Inc. We believe this move will open incredible opportunities for the entire Magento ecosystem.

The Big Picture

Why is this acquisition so exciting for all of us? eBay is evolving to become a strategic commerce partner focused on delivering new ways for merchants of all sizes to drive innovation. As a centerpiece of this strategy, they are building a global, open commerce platform that leverages the worldwide developer community. And Magento will be at the core of this new, open commerce platform, called "X.Commerce."

Magento & eBay

As many of you know, Magento has had a relationship with eBay for some time. In March 2010, eBay became our first outside investor. Over the past year, eBay has gotten to know our platform, our culture, and our community. They have experienced the passion of the Magento ecosystem, and they are eager to harness the power of this ecosystem to create the next generation of eCommerce innovation.

Moving forward: the details

How will this acquisition impact our organization, customers and partners? It's too soon to know all the details, but there are a few things we know. Following the closing, Magento will continue to operate out of Los Angeles, with Yoav Kutner and me as its leaders. We'll continue building our team and enhancing our product line, including the Magento Community, Enterprise, and Mobile Editions, as well as Magento Go and the Magento Go Platform. And we'll continue strengthening our training, education, packaged consulting services and support efforts around the world.

Through it all, we'll be collaborating with our colleagues at eBay on developing the X.Commerce platform and defining the next generation of eCommerce innovation.

How secure is your password?

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:05:18 +0000

When setting up a CMS we will normally set up a default password that is easy to type / say over the phone to make it easier for the person populating the CMS to get started straight away. But how often is this password changed or updated?

A new tool shows how long it would take for an average desktop computer to crack a password;

http://howsecureismypassword.net/

Its based just on algorithms and doesn't take into consideration obvious passwords like password123, 'your company name', etc but makes you think before creating a new 'one password to rule them all'.

The Div Tag Loses Its Crown

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:50:33 +0000

Today, when you build a layout, or simply look at the source code of any website you will probably see the <div> tag used more than any other entity. Until recently, the tag has simply been the "king" of tag-land. It's been the best way to contain design elements.

Div's are just that: containers. They contain, and allow you to manipulate your websites layout through the use of class and ID names. Until now, the tag has been king of the castle. Well, the problem is, website layouts are inefficient when compared to what's coming soon; and what's coming is the power HTML5.

Soon, HTML5 tags will eliminate the need for many <div> tags. The new HTML5 tags layout more semantically when compared to the typical <div> tag. The new HTML5 tags are easy to digest for new generation, browsers, search engines, and screen readers. They can read and make better sense of HTML5, plus HTML5 gives us the ability to create "smarter" or more categorized markup.

So What's New About It?

HTML5 provides new tags to wrap content in a more useful manner, including a tag dedicated toward the site's main navigation to specify the header and footer of your page. WHY is this so important? Can't I still use the <div> tag? The answer is "yes," however, it will become best practice to use the new HTML5 tags, due to the fact that HTML5 provides better ways and names to divide content.

The new HTML5 tags are important for a few different reasons. Take for instance, SEO friendliness. HTML5 tags let search engines know what the most important elements are on the page. For example, it will look at

at the main source of content on a page, and based upon that, better index the main content of your site.

Next, new generation browsers (Firefox 4, Chrome, Safari, IE9) are able to make better sense of HTML5-powered web pages with the elements to outline and guide the page design.

Another reason semantic tags are better: Accessibility. People requiring screen readers will be big fans of semantic tags. Accessing main content and main navigation will be faster and easier, as semantic tags allow for better markup. the screen reader can find it much easier and quicker. Oftentimes, the differences lie beneath the surface, and HTML5 will provide a major step toward improved accessibility.

The <div> May Give Up the Throne But It's Here To Stay.

No need to shed a tear just yet, the <div> is still a necessary tag for websites. There is still plenty of content that needs to be contained, yet doesn't necessarily fit into HTML5 semantic tags. That, and for now, the fact that we do not have HTML5 elements across all our browsers, nor will we for some time, forces us to continue to employ the <div> as our main container.

Example:

<nav>
    <ul>
     <li>Home</li>
     <li>Projects</li>
     <li>About Us</li>
     <li>Contact</li>
    </ul>
</nav>

There's So Much More...

Like the dethroning of the

tag, there are some great elements coming in HTML5 that are going to make all of our lives a little easier, making websites easier to code, while improving SEO and UX. This article only touches on a few improvements coming with HTML5 sematic tags. See more on the World Wide Web Consortium, here: W3C.

You'll find some great HTML5 tutorials on Lynda.com or O'Reilly, and live training on HTML5 at the 2011 CMS Expo Learning and Business Conference, May 2-4, 2011.
