The Cloud Disruption Story – itgroove moves to QuickBooks Online
Hey folks, I’m doing a 20 minute presentation next week (Thursday, April 20th) at the Office 365 User Group (free pizza, if you register!) where I’m going to talk about why and how we moved from QuickBooks 2016 (the desktop software) to QuickBooks Online. It isn’t going to get terribly technical but I’m aiming to …
Read onWindows 10 Edge now supports browser drag and drop
Well, look at that. I discovered (purely by accident, I was dragging and dropping *I thought* into IE11 but no, it was Edge!) that Windows 10 EDGE browser now supports drag and drop. I couldn’t find much out there in regards to an announcement (Sneaky, I guess while we the public test it ;). But …
Read onOneNote, Office and I’m loving ‘agile’
You know what, I think I love this agile stuff. It’s like Christmas every few days. I’d much rather get incremental improvements, that keep pace with the industry and get to know them one at a time than relearn a product every 4 years and try to figure out what has changed. Exciting times ahead …
Read onOur Support Platform is Complete – Power Admin for the Win!
What Over the years, we have used dozens of management products. They’ve all tried to shoehorn us into delivering IT “their way”. You know, Managed Services, MSP, blah blah blah.

Read onOffice 365 – The Basics, Canadian Edition, eh?
I presented the following today at the first (of many monthly) Office 365 User Group meeting in Victoria. It seemed natural that after talking about Office 365 and Office Online, it made sense to share the slide deck embedded via PowerPoint Online.
Read onOneNote makes me smile. Today it’s more iOS love and respect
Man I love me some OneNote. And every time I notice the client in iOS gets updated, I just have to have a look. This week, Microsoft introduced version 2.2 and pretty much only pointed out that it was “beautifully redesigned for iOS 7”. I need to agree, as some of the attributes of the …

Read onNifty tool for showing iPhone and iPad screens on the PC
Stumbled across this nifty tool, ReflectorApp today while looking for a solution to provide better support for my family. You see, I convinced everyone in my family to get iPhones so that I wouldn’t have to help them. This backfired a little as it seems even the iPhone can be complicated for newbs and now …
Read onOffice 365 Observations from a grizzled veteran of the SMB Space
As a big SharePoint fan and recently self-diagnosed Bob Ross of SharePoint, I’ve been watching and actively participating in Microsoft’s swift transition of key software and services into the Cloud.
