Fun Fact |
The keyboard layout as we know it today was invented by Christopher Sholes in 1868. His first typewriters had the letters arranged in alphabetical order but he changed it to the QWERTY arrangement. He contracted with the Remington Arms Company in 1873 to build and market his typewriter. It did not sell well for the first 15 years.

Shake Your Desktop Free of Clutter in Windows 7 |
During a typical workday it is easy to clutter your desktop with multiple open programs. This can get annoying if you are trying to focus on one particular project, but you don't want to minimize all of the open programs. Windows 7 has a fun little tool that you may not even know was there. Quickly reduce the clutter on your screen by clicking on the title bar of the window you want to keep open, and while still holding the title bar, shake it quickly back and forth until all the other windows minimize to the taskbar, and then let it go. To make them return, shake the title bar again of your active window. Voila! Shake away!
P.S. You can do the same thing by pressing the Window key & Home key, but it is not nearly as fun!

Greetings!
Efficiency. Seems simple enough right? If you look up the definition you may get 3 different explanations:
- The state or quality of being efficient.
- Accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
- Effective operation as measured by a comparison of production with cost (as in energy, time, and money. The ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it.
Does it still seem simple enough? Perhaps not, but it is a word that we hear every day in our businesses and impress upon our employees that they need to be efficient. How do you know if you are efficient within your company? If you think you are efficient because your revenue is good, you may be mistaken. It's definitely a benefit if you have good revenue, but you may still have inefficiencies which are hindering an even larger revenue potential. If you are struggling to hit your revenue goals, then this is a telltale sign that you can be more efficient in your operations.
As a business operates we need to look at our efficiencies on a daily basis to measure our successes. Take some time to review your current software, reports, processes, cross-department communications and workflows to see if they still make sense in your business. You may quickly find out where you can redefine your business to become more efficient.
For information on how The Resource Group can help you to make your organization more efficient, contact us at 425-277-4760 or info@resgroup.com. | | |

All of this can be easily done with Microsoft Dynamics GP which has integrations into your other Microsoft tools such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft SharePoint. Additional benefits of having accurate data presented with tools that end users are familiar with will allow for easy adoption of a new system, improved planning, and better decision making.
