NEED REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR SOFTWARE? – DECIDING TO BUY A SERVER OR GO WITH A HOSTING PROVIDER

The major variable between purchasing your own server and using a hosting service, is that there are Minimal Startup Costs with hosting, compared to a complex setup and maintenance when trying to self host.

If you buy a server, you are responsible for hardware failures, whereas if you rent, your provider is responsible for the hardware and software loss and updates.

Cloud Hosting has a higher level of security than software uploaded to your computer. Hosting makes setup and maintenance a breeze, with regular automatic back-ups, you are prevented from losing your data. Having your datacenter in a separate location, keeps natural disasters from incapacitating your business.

Our Hosting Service is outstanding and we stand by that statement with our 30 day money back guarantee. Start your service without hesitation, and if you are dissatisfied, you will receive a full refund, with no questions asked.

SHORTFALLS OF REMOTE ACCESS TOOLS – NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION

Being able to remotely access your data from any location is becoming a bigger and bigger necessity for companies and individuals in today’s work environment. One of the easiest ways to gain remote access, is through remote access tools.

These programs are inexpensive and allow you to access other computers remotely by leaving your office computer running, then logging in to it from another computer on a browser. This appears to be a great solution, but there are drawbacks.

The remote computer often runs slowly and you are susceptible to serious security risks by leaving your PC unattended. This is really not a dependable solution for regular use or for multiple users.

The remote computer cannot be shared with anyone else while you are gone. If you need to access your home computer, and your family member wants to log in, someone will not be able to access their information. Remote Access Tools can be unreliable, if your computer has shut down, you will have to travel to the pc’s location or have someone else help you log back in.

IS YOUR IT DEPARTMENT RUN BY THE MOST TECH SAVVY EMPLOYEE? – IT MAY BE TIME TO OUTSOURCE

Many companies use their most technically savvy employees to help run IT tasks when necessary, even though it is not their primary position. This can be a daunting task for these workers to work proficiently enough to cover their regular position, and to stay on top of everything that needs to be done to keep the business running smoothly.
During crunch times, you wouldn’t want your skilled workers putting their energy towards maintenance, when they are a greater benefit to the company in their trained field. These dual employees are often times limited in their IT knowledge, and don’t undertake all of the small tasks that are beneficial to maintaining your database.
This is not a viable option and usually fails because the employee leaves or a problem arises that is too costly to fix. However, it is not cost effective for many small to medium sized companies to keep an in house IT Department.
Outsourcing your IT department is a great solution, and can be implemented quickly and easily with virtually no startup costs.  An outside agency can worry about the day to day operations while you have the peace of mind knowing that help is just an email or phone call away.  Let a professional service take care of protecting your company and let your employees focus on their field of expertise.

FRIDAY THE 13TH

I wanted to write about Friday the 13th and how the Knights Templar, who are associate with setting up the Modern Day Banking System, were a part of the origins.

While doing a little research I found that the true origins are really not documented, only speculated, and there are quite a few.

This is an interesting article outlining where the superstition came from www.todayifoundout.com.  Hopefully if you have a fear of Friday the 13th, Triskaidekaphobia, this will quell your fears.
