There are a variety of reasons that enterprise technology sellers would want to create and use online demos. These range from empowering partners to perform proofs of concept and demos to improving online delivery and evaluation of software and applications .

The actual realm of virtual offerings available is quite diverse. Software vendors can choose to develop and offer pre-sale demos, evaluations and proofs-of-concept or POCs. Other companies may choose to offer technical training or online certification to employees or clients. These virtual services offer a comprehensive and realistic user experience and can be branded for the individual company even though they are hosted by third party cloud computing vendors. Advantages include a complete suite of security features, customized work flow, multi-tiered hierarchy and permissions, and the ability to create complex environments that allow multiple logins, demos, and evaluations to occur simultaneously.

Whatever the specific reasons, the main motivation of utilizing online demo software is to improve the chance of closing sales and shortening the overall sales cycle. Both of which allow the company to improve their financial bottom line.

If you are an SEO company , you probably keep all of your files online, and your tracking, and obviously all of your work is also online, so what do you do if your internet provider has an outage, and the internet goes down? This can be a hard thing to do. Some people at an SEO company have plenty to do when the internet goes down, others are not so lucky. Here are a few things you can do when the internet goes down. If you are one of the people who can do some things offline while the internet is down, don’t forget to delegate to those who really have no way to work on things.

1. Write Reports
No one likes to do them and they are entirely necessary. If you have some of your information off line instead of stored on google docs or something, you will be able to write out a few reports. This can be the perfect opportunity to get your reports ready so that at the end of the month you will only have a few extra charts and some data to add to the report. If this is the end of the month, you probably need to be working on this anyway, and it can be a good excuse to focus on this.

2. Organize
Get yourself organized. Actually this is probably the majority of what you should do when the internet goes down. Put your tasks in order of importance on your to-do list if they aren’t already, flag important emails in outlook, sort the clutter on your desk, although hopefully there is little of that to do.

3.File
This is fairly straight forward, but very necessary every so often. The thing about this, is that it is a two part job. There is the filing, but you also need to organize the extra files and the old files when you are done.

4. Write something up. If you have articles, press releases, or website information to write and don’t know what to write about without looking at the internet, think about something to write about your own company . If you don’t know what you are supposed to write up, look at some of the things that have happened in the past few weeks for your company and write up a press release to get the word out about your successes.
