In days gone by every retailer had to deal with the storage of stock, keeping goods at ideal temperatures, keeping supply levels just right. Each item bought from a wholesaler had to be bought in bulk, and represented a risk. What if it didn't sell? All the money spent on stock would be wasted. When a business moved onto the internet the problem got worse, not better. The business may not need premises or a shop assistant, but stock must be...more
Many people get their first experience of selling on the web through eBay, selling junk from a clearout or raising money for a vacation or holiday.

Drop shipping provides an ideal business model for anyone starting out with a new internet store and a limited budget. You get the order, organize payment and keep the customer happy, but somebody else holds the stock, packs and ships it to your customer. Because the stock is held by someone else, you buy stock from the drop shipper ONLY when the item has already been bought from you. No risk involved and no up front capital needed to buy stock. It sounds ideal. Of course there is a downside. There is usually more apparent profit to be made by buying from a wholesaler in bulk and shipping to the customer yourself, and of course you are more in control of the process, but with increased profit comes increased risk. Can you afford to lose the money you spent on inventory if your product doesn't sell? If you have started an internet business in a field you already know well, you may already know what will and won't sell, but many internet entrepreneurs sell products they initially know little about. Working with a drop shipper allows you to become knowledgeable about your product niche before taking any major, expensive risks like buying stock. Day to day your life should be easier -...more

The promise of cloud computing is quite clear, reduction of operational expenses by maximizing the utilizations of IT infrastructure. The utilization rate going from single digit to 60-70% is not uncommon using carefully designed cloud solution.In order to achieve such goal, what are the experiences and patterns that are emerging from the early adoption of cloud computing? The adoption of cloud computing can discussed from many perspectives. So even to discuss emerging trends, it makes sense to keep the same level of discussion.Client side vs. Server Side Virtualization: The growth of cloud computing on server side has been a spectacular 1000% over last one year. On the other side, desktop virtualization seems quite negligible. This makes perfect sense as the server side infrastructure remains stable and is heavy on investment.Core vs. Non-core Applications: Most of the applications that are moving to cloud computing in the first wave are non-core applications.
