Your customers are mobile. Why aren’t you?

Written by Gavin Heaton

Australian consumers have been early adopters of technology for decades. We buy devices, connect to the internet and try out gadgets faster than almost any other nation. Australia ranks second, ahead of the US, UK and Japan in smartphone usage. Google expects this trend to accelerate, with 1% to 2% of the entire Australian population purchasing a smartphone every month.

A change for the better

Written by Paul Hassing

Today we have a change of pace. One of the most frequent accolades this blog receives is that it’s thought provoking. As I consider this high praise indeed, I’d like to table what gets me thinking. Happily, it’s a video (see below). So you can sit back and relax (just like in those old Junior Science classes). :) The Story of Stuff If you’ve not met Annie Leonard, I strongly suggest you do so now: Watch The Story of Stuff.

Why changing your mind can be a good idea

Written by Melina Schamroth

Where do you get inspiration from? Over the course of running my Grateful in April campaign, I’ve been inspired (and humbled) daily by the thoughts, expressions and honesty of the people taking part. People are unbelievably grateful for everyday things that most of us take for granted. How often are you thankful for the legs and feet that carry you around? For being able to access clean drinking water and fresh food? Being able to operate your business in a country that enforces transparency? For your own health and wellbeing – and that of your family and friends?

What’s all this Cloud computing stuff about?

Written by Daylan Pearce

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.

The Golden Rules of a Great Online Reputation

Written by Daylan Pearce

Disclaimer: this post actually isn’t for you. This article is for that one person (or multiple people) you come across online that doesn’t seem to have a filter for what information should or shouldn’t be shared to the public. I urge you to share this with them. It’s for their own good! A few months ago a friend of mine was having a lot of trouble getting a job. She’d been to university and achieved all the qualifications required to land a great job. She’s very personable and pretty, and can do the job as good as anyone who works in the industry. But application after application she was bombing out for some reason. It was getting her down almost as much as it was baffling her as to why. So we decided to do a Google search on her name to see what came up. First result – Facebook profile.

Some exciting new changes to the LiveAccounts website

Written by Meagan Wood

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.
