Read MoreWho is who in cloud computing?
No matter what business you're in, the cloud can help you punch above your weight. Cloud computing grants SMBs access to powerful tools that were previously restricted to the big end of town. They can be divided into two main categories; Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Both are really forms of outsourcing – handing over maintenance to the experts so you can get on with doing what you do best. The flexibility and scalability of cloud services can make them a good fit for growing businesses. Turning a significant capital expenditure into an operational expense also helps put enterprise-grade tools within reach of SMBs.

Read MoreProud to get more Kiwis online
A passion for creating great new technology products is something that still sits at the very heart of our business. Representing months of investment – of time and energy from our team, and generous support from our many partners – releasing a product to market always comes with a sense of accomplishment shared right across the organisation. Any product launch is an exciting day, but this week, MYOB marked a very special day for the New Zealand business community. On Tuesday, we launched the Getonline.co.nz initiative alongside Westpac. Powered by our new website builder MYOB Atlas, the initiative is designed to get more New Zealand businesses online. And make it possible for them to do so for free, for the first 12 months.

Read MoreWhat’s all this Cloud computing stuff about?
I was recently at a family BBQ enjoying a beer and a sausage in bread when I was asked the following: ‘Hey mate, you work in computers(sic), what’s all this Cloud computing stuff about?’ Now, being the families resident ‘computer nerd’, I’m often asked computer related questions (either that or cartoon related questions). Usually the questions are along the lines of ‘should I buy a Mac’ or ‘why isn’t my email working’. Most can be fairly easily answered with a paint-by-numbers answer, but this one required a bit more effort. Effort that by the end of the conversation – which only ended because if we didn’t stop talking, all of my auntie’s awesome trifle would’ve been eaten without me getting any – still could’ve been delved into a lot more. This ‘Cloud computing stuff’ question became a 45-minute discussion about a bunch of seemingly unlinked topics – business, computers, iPhones and iPads, MYOB, the Patriot Act, Russians; the list went on and on.

Read MoreSome exciting new changes to the LiveAccounts website
The LiveAccounts websites found at liveaccounts.myob.com.au and liveaccounts.myob.co.nz are being retired, with all the content moving into the main myob.com.au and myob.co.nz websites. We’re doing this to consolidate all the information about our products and services into one location, making it easier to find. To assist in this transition, we’ll be redirecting key locations on the old websites. That means if you try to visit liveaccounts.myob.com.au, you’ll automatically be taken to its new home, myob.com.au/liveaccounts. As a bit of housekeeping if you have bookmarked any of these old locations, you might like to update them with the new location.

Read MoreHow to bug me on LinkedIn
A look at what you may be doing to annoy your connections. For some reason, when we network online, we really forget how to communicate with the person on the other end of the computer. In fact we forget that there even is a real person on the other end of the computer. Basic real life etiquette flies out of the window as we try and do everything at a trillion miles an hour to get connected, friended, followed and now pinned to as many people as possible. But slow down, connection collector, relax, and be more meaningful in your approach, and avoid some of the things that I see all too often that really bug me. If you want to develop a business relationship with your connection, don’t get off on the wrong foot.
