Social media management refers to the process of operating a business’s social media profiles. Content is posted onto these profiles with the intention of optimizing brand visibility. Analytics, scheduling and engagement are some of the key areas that need to be taken into account when managing social media channels.

Increasingly, consumers want to see the more ‘human’ side of the brands and businesses they engage with – and social media is the perfect place to do this. Thanks to smartphones, users have access to online content whenever and wherever they are – and many spend several hours a day on their favorite social media platforms.

Most companies now understand that having a social media presence is crucial, but few know quite how to tap into its real potential. Simply firing off the odd Facebook post, Instagram, Tweet or LinkedIn update (when you remember to do so!) is definitely not the best strategy to take advantage of this enormous resource.

Creating engaging content, setting the right voice and tone for your social media posts, and making sure they reach the right people takes insight, planning, and a targeted strategy. Fortunately, Melior is an expert agency in Cyprus, and we can help!

Essentially, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about making your business more visible online. When someone looks for your product or service on a platform like Google, Yahoo or Bing, these search engines have to decide which of the millions of websites out there best answer their user’s query.

SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages, or what you and I see when we conduct a search online) list websites in the order the search engine decides they’re most relevant to what the user asked. The more relevant your page or website appears, the higher your ranking in results.

But how does the search engine come up with these rankings? How does it decide which sites and pages deserve to rank higher up than others? The answer is pretty complex, (hence the need for dedicated SEO companies like us!) but that’s really what SEO is all about. Convincing search engines that your website, product or service is worthy of a top spot.

To accomplish this, your website has to be optimized for both human users, and for the search engines that examine the site. There are many different ways to go about doing this, but most revolve around creating great content, and organizing the site in a logical format so that people can find useful information on it easily.

By developing a great SEO strategy, or working with expert SEO specialists to do so, a business is able to maximize its visibility on the internet and generate a high volume of organic traffic.

3CX is a software-based private branch exchange based on the SIP standard. It enables extensions to make calls via the public switched telephone network or via Voice over Internet Protocol services (VOIP)

VOIP
Voice over Internet Protocol, otherwise known as VOIP, works by converting analog voice calls into digital information delivered over the Internet itself.

Regular phone systems use what is called circuit-switched telephony. This works by setting up a singular channel between two points for the call to take place and utilizes copper wires. In contrast to this, VOIP uses what is known as packet-switched telephony that compresses countless individual packets and sends them through the Internet.

This technology increases efficiency of data transfer, being the voice call, and is generally a far superior system. You will receive a vast variety of benefits upon transferring to VOIP and though some may be hesitant to do so, there really is no need to be.

Cost
The most apparent difference between VOIP and traditional phone technology is cost. Not only is VOIP considerably cheaper, a typical VOIP solution can save your business around 35% on calls. Traditional operators today are offering a plethora of cheaper calling services however they will never really be able to match VOIP rates, let alone beat them.

This has very little to do with the phone company at hand but is rather a simple issue with the technology itself. Simply put, it costs more to connect calls between destinations with traditional telephony systems. Long distance calling too is much cheaper, Through our Industry leading partners Impact Technology Group is able to offer up to 50% off international calls to select countries.

Features
Our VOIP phone systems also include a number of built-in features that many standard phone companies either offer at an additional price or don’t offer at all. Some of the many features of our VOIP solutions include:

Caller ID
Call Divert – Send incoming calls to other numbers
Do Not Disturb
Ring back – Repeatedly rings busy or occupied lines until you get through
Voicemail – Ability to access voicemail remotely via email or web portal as well as being able to organize voicemail into folders
Conference Calling
Portability – any Internet-enabled device can be used to send and receive calls. If you’re moving office all you need to do is move your equipment as our VOIP devices are plug-and-play
Upgradeability – Whereas expanding your business on a traditional telephone line would require the installation of new lines with the use of engineers, with VOIP, expansion is simply a case of upgrading software and bandwidth

Quality & Reliability
It was not too long ago that VOIP was criticized for having poor line quality as well as intermittently failing altogether. With advances in technology and internet speeds, these issues barely factor with today’s technology and our VOIP services provide superior line quality and reliability over traditional telephone systems.

Conclusion
Switching to VOIP is an ideal way to cut costs. Improving phone technology is about making it easier to use, more efficient, functional and reliable. VOIP has all these areas covered and will certainly not let you down. We are able to port your numbers and cancel all your traditional lines and along with our cheaper VOIP rates we are in most cases able to move our clients to our Hosted platform without incurring additional costs.

​The need for providing secure websites and web applications has never been more important than it is right now. Attackers are always on the prowl to expose vulnerabilities in content that is publicly available online. The number of ways in which applications can interface with one another is increasing, and web application developers are delivering increasingly sophisticated approaches for presenting data to users. The increasing levels of functionality has provided business with huge opportunities for innovation. However, the potential vulnerabilities that can be introduced are also growing at an alarming rate. Businesses and organizations need to understand this and incorporate security in their approach to providing this functionality.

Penetration testing is an authorized, benign attack of your online system, a simulation of a real-world attack from both external and internal threats. Knowing the limits of your network security is vital to understanding and mitigating your vulnerabilities. Malicious attackers could strike at any time and the impact of losing sensitive customer data or experiencing system downtime has serious consequences.

We provide a detailed document with the results of the scans, categorizing the threats into low, medium and high risk threats. We also provide guidance on the remediation steps.

Cloud services are platforms, software, or infrastructure that are online based, allowing for the storage of files and data in a centralized and secure web location, with access that can be monitored and restricted to your staff and collaborators. Also known as cloud computing as a service, it allows for movement of documents from hardware such as phones, laptops and servers, to an online server and back. This data then becomes accessible across multiple devices via apps or web browsers.

Rather than having your own servers and hard drives dedicated to the storage of vital documentation, service in cloud computing is provided by third-party providers. These providers maintain their own servers, and ensure the security of data, and you simply pay for the space that you require. This makes cloud as a service an affordable, secure and accessible solution for businesses.

Cloud services have been growing in popularity across the globe, but they have been on the rise in Cyprus in particular, partly because of the rampant power crisis that the country has experienced from time to time. Outages like load-shedding make it difficult for businesses to get servers on-premise to work efficiently, and hardware also becomes more prone to disaster thanks to the surges when power returns.
This makes cloud services an ideal solution within Cyprus, with many businesses investing in both private and public cloud services. While private cloud services are limited to one organisation, a public cloud computing service is shared between organisations, allowing the fees associated with it to be shared.

Melior is perfectly placed to cater to your cloud service needs, offering a wide range of solutions to suit your business:

Cloud computing
Rent VMs on demand, as you need them, to act as a server and help you run your applications.

Cloud backup
Not only can Melior help you to back up your data, but we can also restore your system from backup in a matter of minutes should disaster strike, helping your business to grow continually.

Cloud hosting
We offer dedicated domain, database, and web-hosting services both locally and abroad. This makes the management of your business’ online presence simple and secure.

Cloud storage
Give your teams access to the files they need, wherever they are in the world, and whatever device they’re using thanks to cloud storage. This dependable, cost-effective, pay-as-you-go service makes file management and collaboration a breeze, and requires nothing more than internet access to be used.

Cloud PBX
No more need to rely on landlines or exorbitant cell phone bills. Reduce telephone costs substantially with a cloud PBX solution that offers genuine per-second billing.

Cloud consulting
Let us help your business reach its true potential with consulting, planning and road mapping that cover a wide range of technologies. Reach your goals and look forward to the future with Melior.

What is DevOps? Simply put, DevOps is a combination of two functions that are typically treated separately: development and operations. That definition of DevOps is the what. The why is even easier. Standardized development methodology, clear communication, and documented processes supported by a standards-based, proven middle ware platform improve application development and management cycles, bring agility, and provide greater availability and security to your IT infrastructure. Clearly, DevOps is about connecting people, products, and processes. Ultimately, DevOps is about connecting IT to business.

How DevOps can accelerate your product development?
In the past twenty years, business has gradually shifted to integrate software into nearly every element —finance, entertainment, consumer usage, supply chain, and everything else. With each of these functions, clear integration of software and data have emerged, and as that integration becomes more prevalent, the stakes in performance and reliability become higher. A single bug or outage in availability could affect countless users, and possible interrupt millions in revenue.

DevOps and DevSecOps provide a means to address the need of the software development life cycle (SDLC) to provide continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Integrating development, operations, and security delivers practical benefits to resources while also enabling faster communication and collaboration across the life cycle. The ability to build a bridge between these groups—all while shortening the overall software development life cycle—gives DevOps meaning and value, regardless of industry.

Benefits of DevOps
Adopting DevOps to support the entire software development life cycle—with an emphasis on agility and efficiency regardless of function provides a number of benefits:

Enabling speed: With an agile DevOps model, technology is optimized to the current needs of the life cycle. In many cases, DevOps uses cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence to expedite this. In fact, a recently coined term, AIOps, refers to the use of artificial intelligence in IT operations. DevOps also emphasizes automation and continuous integration/delivery, alleviating staff from manual tasks to focus on innovation. On the development side, engineers can hit their code milestones faster or collaborate more effectively. On the operations side, systems administrators can leverage automation frameworks to easily provision and update new applications and infrastructure.
Quality: By enabling speed, DevOps opens up new paths to greater quality and reliability. This starts on the development side, with faster collaboration and better tools for problem solving and integration. On the operations side, smaller and more frequent updates allow for greater stability, which increases the overall quality of experience for the user base.
Security: Using DevOps provides several different layers to enhancing your overall security. From a functional perspective, DevOps sometimes includes the integration of security teams. This creates a model sometimes referred to as DevSecOps, which equally balances security next to development and operational needs. On a more granular level, the speed of DevSecOps allows for quick patching, audits and analysis powered by artificial intelligence, automated compliance, and automated resource management.
Scalability: Agile resources, automation, and the ability to support the complete software development life cycle means that infrastructure is poised to support scaling as needed. Because scaling touches many different elements, supporting a holistic view of technology helps to efficiently scale while handling everything from resource management to patch rollout.
