 How confident are you that your company data is safe?
60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster (Home Office Computing Magazine).
Imagine for a moment that one day you come to work to find that all your company data have simply vanished. By "data" I mean your email, your Word and Excel documents, PDFs, databases, contact lists, accounting data, etc, etc--basically most everything that makes your company what it is and has allowed it to operate and grow as a business since its inception. |

The "Paperless Office" |

 How to deal with this ever-growing mountain of paper?
For a long time now businesses have been drowning in paper. Certain types of small businesses, especially law firms, generate a shocking amount of hard copy. What to do with all of it? Where to store all of it?
More important, how to pay for this ever-growing mountain of paper that must be stored and maintained for productivity or compliancy reasons?

 Going "Mobile"
With today’s technology people are no longer confined within the walls of their office or cubicle. This has been true of the enterprise for quite a while now, but it is only relatively recently that this has become true of the small business. Companies like Microsoft simply were not thinking about the small business back then, as they strove to corner the enterprise market. But that has changed.
Now small businesses are capable of a mobility that rivals the enterprise. People can “remote” into their office networks. People can remotely control their office computers anywhere an Internet connection is available. People can log into their company email remotely from the Web. People can get their Outlook emails, contacts, and calendar items on their mobile phone. With the advent of cellular broadband cards for laptops, this remote access can be found almost anywhere.
How can small business improve their mobility, becoming more efficient and productive in the process? What technologies exist to make this possible? How affordable are they? . . .

"Do You Still Need a Fax Machine?" |
|
|
 There’s a classic moment in the comedy Office Space where three frustrated employees finally take revenge on their ever-jamming and error-spewing fax machine with a baseball bat. This scene is funny in large part because a lot of people can honestly sympathize with these three beleaguered office workers and their rebellion against a flawed technology that never quite seems to work as advertised--and in fact seems to have been invented with the sole purpose of making already difficult jobs even harder.
