Yes, Cloud Accounting Has Crossed the Chasm

It?s official: We?ve crossed the chasm in cloud accounting. This comes from no less an authority than Geoffrey Moore, author of the business bestseller ?Crossing the Chasm,? who coined the term to describe the most critical stage in the technology adoption cycle. [View Fullscreen] Moore was our closing keynote speaker at Digital CPA 2013, which wrapped up on Nov. 22. The ?chasm? in Moore?s tech adoption cycle falls between the ?early adopter? and ?early majority? phases. Once that gap is crossed, the risk of moving to a new technology is outweighed by the risk of not moving there. Firms that thrive will add not just innovation but value-added services, he said during his presentation. Those that don?t ? well, change isn?t required, he said, because ?survival is not mandatory.? So what does it really mean now that we?ve reached this inflection point? Do firms that are traditionally conservative have to abandon a cautious approach and plunge headlong into the cloud?

Zoho Docs 2.0 adds iPad support

Zoho has offered an iOS app for a while now -- at least for the iPhone and iPod touch. Those of you who have been wanting to use the Zoho app on your iPad were out of luck, but that's no longer the case.

Zoho Docs 2.0 has landed in the App Store, and the most notable change is that it's now a universal app. Now you're able to take advantage of the app's mobile productivity powers on your larger iOS device. Retina display support has also been added, as have document sharing options -- which you can utilize in both the viewer and collaboration modes.

Just like the basic Zoho service, the app is available totally free of charge. Paid subscriptions get you additional storage space and start at $3 per month for professional use.
