Protect your Data
Over the past few months we have been noticing an extremely alarming increase in the number of virus / trojan infections and data loss. Trust me, there is nothing worse than having to tell a client that he has lost years worth of data. This is why we have decided to proclaim 2009 as the Year of the Backup. Throughout the year we will be encouraging clients and even complete strangers to adopt a backup plan, and follow through with it.
We encourage you to visit our backup page for links to some of the very best backup products on the market today. Do it today!
Green Technology & Green Ideas
As information technology consultants we talk a lot about the word green, but what does it really mean and, even more important, how can it help me? Computer technology has this wonderful advantage of taking us to a place where we can be more efficient that we ever have been in the course of human history. Yes, we burn electricity in making this technology possible, but the ultimate consequence is that we save much more than we use.
Several years ago I wrote an article about the eventual paperless office. At that time technology seemed to be generating more printed output, and ironically, most of the technology problems were very often printing problems. Today many publications have been replaced by web sites and PDF files. Many offices have also gone, or are in the process of going, mostly paperless. Electronic documents have the distinct advantage of being easy to replicate and distribute.
Meetings and service calls have also gone green. Services like GoToMeeting make it possible to be there without actually being there, now that's green! Why spend your money (your green) and lots of energy to travel to a meeting when you can have that meeting from your very desk. In other words why not save some green by being green.
The smart use of green technology has also helped us to offer better customer service. In the time it takes us to travel to a client location we can often serve two or three clients. Of course sometimes there is no substitute for an on site visit, but when it can be avoided it is best for the environment and saves our clients green at the same time.
We have also been offering a technology recycling program, for the past few years, where we responsibly recycle computers, and other outdated technology items. In doing this our objective is to keep toxic electronic waste out of the landfills.
So how do you keep it green? The first thing is to dump the paper and move swiftly to the paperless office. While such a move might seem risky from a business perspective, it is really a wise choice. Not only is it good for fishes and frogs, but it will actually help you to keep your information easy to access and secure all at the same time.
Watch for details about our new recycling program in the upcoming weeks.

The number of computers infected by viruses, trojans and other malware is increasing at an alarming rate. To properly protect yourself, every computer should be protected by a good quality anti-virus with firewall. If you are in a business environment you should also consider investing in other technologies like email filtering and a hardware firewall to help protect the electronic border of your business from unwanted intruders.
