Hi %%First Name%%,

Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Social media is playing an increasing role in the marketing efforts of small business and consuming an increasing share of the marketing budget, but most SMBs' use of social media is relatively simplistic and lacking in metrics, according to the 2012 Yellow Social Media Report.

Need a new One with 4G speeds at an XL size, while still being super-thin and ultra fast on the Telstra network? HTC’s new One XL 4G LTE should have all the speed you need, along with all the acronyms and etymology-defying thinnishness available this side of 2012.

Gartner is forecasting 61.9 percent increase from 2011 in the value of mobile transactions this year, from an estimated 212.5m cellphone users around the world.

Flame, Flamer or sKyWIper, whatever you call it, it's the next big thing in malware and it makes Stuxnet look almost benign in comparison.

NEC is looking to penetrate the small to medium sized business market with the launch of a scalable, cloud telephony solution designed specifically for Australian SMEs.

And of course there's plenty more so for all the news visit www.itwire.com.

Have a great day!
