1. Dot’s Don’t Mean Anything: 

If your e-mail is mr.exeo[at]gmail.com you will an e-mail if it was addressed to mrexeo[at]gmail.com or m.r.e.x.e.o[at]gmail.com. Actually the dot’s don’t change anything at all. Go ahead try it!  

2. It can give you Background Info on your contacts

Most e-mail service providers offer an address book. But with Gmail there is much more to it. Your contacts today have Facebook and LinkedIn, wouldn’t it make sense to centralize a contact’s online information right there next to email? A Google add-on named Rapportive does just that. It is an add on with social intelligence that is able to , once installed, to get you all sorts of background information about your contacts from their online footprints. It is also compatible with all major browsers.

3. You can hit the snooze button on an e-mail

Have you ever read and e-mail that requires a follow that you just can’t get to right now? Gmail can help you with that. You can simply snooze your e-mail so that you get it sent to you again at a time you will able to respond. Using the free Gmail app Boomerang, you can open an email and set it to return to your inbox in a set amount of time.  

4. Filter out and watch for subscriptions:

If you subscribe to a newsletter or any shopping website add a “+” sign and then any words into your Gmail address. It will still work normally.  If your e-mail is exeo[at]Gmail.com, you could use the email address exeo+Shopping[at]Gmail.com to sign up. You’ll still get your emails you subscribed. This way it will be easier for you to create filter rules for this and you will also know if the website you signed up to is giving your contact information out to anyone else.

Re-Architect

This methodology requires the most effort to implement but it results in the most optimised recurring cost and will provide the best scalability for apps. This involves re-adapting the code of applications and the heavy use of SAAS solutions in order to replace existing hosted applications.

Re-Platform

This method utilizes the power of  PAAS services, like transferring a database to an as-a-service model,  the use of containers for some apps or the use of network/security functions as a service. Greater scalability and lower cost of operation is achieved.

Re-Host (Lift & Shift)

the migration of workloads from  to the cloud without changing the architecture. Machines get to keep their  OS and apps. This is the quickest and easy way to migrate, but since its  utilising IAAS, its is also the most expensive on the long term.
