Information is Power
Empower your Business with Information When You Need It.

Getting the information you need when you need it is critical to making the right decisions for your business. We've heard that "information equals power", but information trapped inside your PC or server doesn't equal much.

Simply collecting data and storing it on your PC isn't enough. Business owners need solutions that safely and securely make important information available to those who need it. This can be more challenging than it sounds, especially when it comes to providing access for remote or mobile team members, co-workers or clients.

Unless your business is positioned to deploy and manage your network, servers and software, the better option for IT service may be to outsource the solutions to your most challenging technical problems.

With Noobeh, you can use the software your business is already familiar with, and we can help you add reporting and analytic solutions to enhance visibility and insight into business data.
Our delivery model removes concerns of transient hardware failures and gives you the powerful private cloud service your business needs to support greater efficiency and agility.

Noobeh's professionals understand the need to keep your software and systems safely running in your business cloud, available for you and your business whenever and wherever.We give you the power of choice, the power of the cloud, and the power to get to your valuable business data when and where you need it most.

Get the power to create, manage and visualize reports and dashboards directly from QuickBooks data
Every business owner knows keeping an eye on the bank account and cash flow is important. However, business performance and profitability might not be as obvious as having money in the bank. 

While it seems like the business is moving along just fine, unpaid bills, slow-moving receivables and other factors can wreak havoc on the business of gone unchecked. From supply chains to process effectiveness, there many layers to the business operation where profitability can be enhanced or diminished and the standard QuickBooks reports don't show it all.


Working with QB data alone or combined with information from other sources, QQube and Mendelson Consulting help business owners and managers develop in-depth reporting with a real-time data warehouse capability that works with Microsoft Excel, Access, Power BI, Crystal Reports and a wide variety of other reporting tools. 
Dude, where's my server?
 
I am curious, Do you know where your server is right now!!! Is it gone ? Well....is it?
Please jump up and go check. I will wait….

Look in the server closet. Look even under the owners desk. If you can't find your server, it might be the best thing for your company. I said might, you still should call the police just in case.
 
Back to why I think this is a good thing. Disappearing servers is a trend that is accelerating each day. Even though I implied it, they are not being stolen. Servers are being removed from businesses locations and migrated into the "cloud". We at Noobeh do this every day for businesses. And the businesses are loving it.
 
For those who don't know, "cloud" isn't just a term to mean someone else's server. Make sure not to get cloud mixed up with what has traditionally been termed as "hosted" service. While hosted also means it is on someone else's server, the server part is more primitive. Hosted does not usually have three copies of your virtual server running at the same time. Hosted does not allow for instant hardware upgrades (or downgrades) to your server. One of the main reasons to migrate your server to a real cloud platform is for reliability. A server running at your business location or in some rack at a datacenter is subject to hardware failures that you just don’t' have time for anymore. On-premise or co-located machines are still susceptible to hardware failures and are limited by physical resources, but a real cloud allows you to avoid all that.
 
You will eventually have a day when your on-premises or co-located/hosted server will not turn on. So, you contact an IT technician to come out and take a look. In a few hours he is onsite and inside the server room. Two hours later he comes walking out with a metal box proudly holding it up high by the splayed wires looking like Perseus who just killed Medusa. He will then say "I found the problem. The power supply is dead and needs replacing". After some hunting for the exact model, make, and size, he orders one, but it will not arrive until next Tuesday. Now, what are your employee's going to do for a few days that you have to wait for this server to get back up and running?
 
This is the nightmare that I have seen. But there is good news. Now is the time to think about getting your server removed from your location and deploying your IT in the cloud. Give me a call, as I would be happy give you a plan for making your old server disappear.
