We are now experiencing a radical change in the world of Information Technology.  The next few years will see us moving further away from desktop computing and into the new world of cloud computing. This is not just a term to describe access to software applications via the web, indeed these have been around for 10 years or more.  

What we are experiencing now is a world where the type of hardware you use is largely irrelevant, where operating systems are replaced by the Internet, where applications and their associated data reside in the "ether" and are looked after by professionals, where the boundaries between computers and devices such as mobile phones become blurred, where printed output becomes almost redundant and where we are all constantly connected to the Internet.  

At a personal level we expect to conduct our affairs of whatever nature whenever and wherever we want using tools that we also use for our social interactions.  And of course we expect automated levels of service far higher than those experienced in the "old" world where the pace was much slower. But at the same time, when we need specialised services such as those involved with residential property, we expect the highest levels of personal service when these are appropriate coupled with very much higher levels of automation for administrative tasks than have existed previously.

This is what we mean by cloud computing and it forms the foundation and rationale for Aspasia Cloud.  Traditional Aspasia was ground breaking in offering a fully integrated web based residential property application where it didn't exist before, now Aspasia Cloud moves the bar higher again.

Aspasia Cloud frees you from the desktop computing environment to run your business as you wish. Use a PC, Mac, iPhone, Google Nexus One, Blackberry, iPad, Netbook, whatever. 

If you have an Internet connection you can run the full Aspasia Cloud software on any device. Realistically, an iPhone or Nexus One sized device will allow you to use the full version of the software albeit with a degree of scrolling, alternatively use Google's mobile device interface for more limited displays.

The point is that wherever you are and whatever you are doing Aspasia Cloud is always available offering you live data and allowing you to input information on the spur of the moment.  Re-think how you conduct your business and get excited about communicating with your customers in a fashion akin more to the modern generation and how they have grown up at school or university.  Chat to them live online or engage in a video chat at no cost to you or them whatsoever.  All of a sudden your level of service to your customers vastly improves and you really begin to break down the poor public image often referred to in the media about agents in general. 

Moreover, sieze the opportunity to review again how you charge for your services.  Consider employing almost fully automated interactions with your customers where traditional fee levels would have denied you the instruction or hang on to familiar methods where they are most appropriate.  Now you have the choice.

Most of all Aspasia Cloud offers the agent the ability to survive and prosper in the new digital age which is beginning to threaten the more traditional ways of doing things. Everything in life eventually changes and we need to adapt to survive and prosper.
