 From
the President
Welcome back, It's a New Day!
I hope
that your year is on target and that you are
achieving your goals.
This
month's newsletter is focused on security and
recovery of your data. Loss of intelligent property
can be devastating to any company. Taking
appropriate measures to ensure that safeguards are
in place and followed regularly are of utmost
importance. Regular review of data security
guidelines and procedures should become a rule more
so than an exception. Formulating a plan and
sticking to it, is key to success. Data and asset
loss can be a result of many factors including
natural disasters and facility damage to malicious
behaviors by hackers. Successful recovery from these
types of disasters, require careful planning and
technology. Please feel free to contact us to review
your security and disaster recovery plans today. We
are here to help.

Business Recovery

In the current business environment, the old adage
"time is money" applies now more than ever. So what
happens when everyday operations are disrupted?
According to the U.S. Labor Department, more than 40
percent of all companies that experience a disaster
never reopen - and more than 25 percent of those
that do reopen after a disaster occurs will close
down for good within two years.

But even if your company doesn't go
through a major disaster, chances are high that it will
experience the negative consequences of unplanned outages
that make business as usual impossible.

Get a Second Chance When Your PC
Crashes
reprinted with permission from the HP
Small Business Center
It's
a common scenario. You're working at your computer when all of a sudden,
with no warning, the PC freezes. Nothing seems to be working. The screen
goes dark. You may even be unlucky enough to see the dreaded blue screen
informing you that a critical error has occurred and Windows® will be
shut down.
You've just been the
unfortunate victim of a system crash. If this happens to you, it's
likely that you've recently added a new program, device, driver or
application that your machine doesn't like, and this is its way of
making its feelings known.

You're In Sales No Matter
What Your Title
by Debra J. Schmidt - used with permission

If
I ask you right now whether or not you are in sales, chances
are you would say, "No, I'm in accounts payable or customer
service or marketing." You might even say, "I'm the CEO."
No matter what
your job is, you are in sales.
|
Every time you interact with
a customer, you are selling your professional credibility,
the company's products or services, and the company's image.
So, even if you don't work in the sales department, read on.
When a customer
has a bad experience in shipping, in accounting, in
technical support or any other department in your company,
you can bet that negative word-of-mouth will follow. That
word of mouth reduces sales in the same way that customer
testimonials increase referrals and sales. You are selling
all the time, so it's important for you to recognize what
your customers want from you.
Regardless of
who your customers are, there are 5 key actions they want
from you:

Protecting Confidential
Information in a
Down Economy
reprinted from Symantec
 Did
you know that an estimated 90% of data loss incidents are
accidental?
That may be
surprising news in light of the fact that cyber-criminals
have never been busier. But according to a recent survey by
TheInfoPro Inc., data loss is "more the result of
non-malicious activity as compared to malicious actions."
("Why Data Loss Prevention?" TheInfoPro Inc., October 2008)
What does that
mean for your business?

Cool New Product:
LightBlueOptics
Light Touch projectable keyboard
The
English company Light Blue Optics boasts one of the
biggest ideas at this year's CES. The company is
debuting a projection system that throws an image of
a fully functional keyboard on any table or flat
surface. The outfit claims its new technology, which
uses holographic lasers to capture typing strokes
and hand movements, will be close enough to a real
keyboard to type well.
But many
questions loom: Projectable keyboards have been in
commercial deployment since the turn of the
millennium, and with limited success. And consumer
adoption of such a, well, ephemeral concept is bound
to be slow. But the potential for having a real
keyboard to connect to say an iPhone makes this
device, and trend, worth following.

Did You
Know
Antivirus 2010 Removal Info (AV2010.exe)
Antivirus 2010 Descriptions:
Antivirus 2010, also known as Antivirus2010, is a
direct copy of the notorious rogue antispyware
application called Antivirus 2009. Yes, this nasty
fake antispyware is back with a new mask. Don't let
it fool you. Antivirus 2010 is created by those
ruthless people who try to ruin the integrity of our
computing experience. It is somewhat ironic to see a
fake antivirus application got upgraded. Guess we
are living in an usual world and nothing really
surprises us anymore.
