The Next Generation of Owner Managed Businesses should be Internet centric in virtually every aspect of their Information Technology requirements:

The Internet is the computer!

Today very few Owner Managed Businesses understand how easy it is to use the Internet as their compute. OMBNexGen is about showing organizations and individuals how to use the Internet as their computer.

The practice of making the Internet the computer is actually quite easy once you are aware of and understand how to use web based applications and services. The best way to start is to develop a discipline that is based on the principle that anything one needs to use a computer for can be done on the Internet. Whenever there is a requirement to use a computer for any reason, the first question to ask is, can it be done on the Internet.

Need more disk space, make the Internet your hard-drive! Need to share documents with peers and associates, make the Internet your file-server. Need to create a document for business, let the Internet provide you your word processing software. Need to prepare a spreadsheet, a “power-point” presentation, or a database application, let the Internet be / provide you with your application.

There are many reasons for making the Internet the computer but the most important one has to do with the philosophy and belief that technology is about information and access to that information. Information and data that is always available from anywhere and anytime is fundamental to the reality that is the Internet. Localized PCs / computers are effectively bricks that keep productivity, data, and ideas monolithic and location specific. The Internet, however, is multidimensional and omnipresent. Add the reality of millions of users and the revolution of web enabled applications that facilitate collaborative input and you get the most powerful computer in the world; you get the Internet.

Once a shift in perspective and expectations have occurred and the Internet becomes the computer, a host of other advantages occur too: The cost model of consuming Information Technology is turned on its head, the skill sets needed to use the technology are stripped of the “techno-babble” and the traditional barriers to business ingenuity successes are leveled.

OMBNexGen is committed to the notion of and the work required to (think knowledgeable and smart) help organizations move their Information Technology requirements to the Internet. We are continuously challenging our own narrowly confined historical training as well as professional experience by moving our own IT infrastructure to the Internet and we can help your organization make that transition too.
