Microsoft Outlook Tip:
Stay On Top of Things with Outlook Flags
Don't play catch-up — let Outlook flags help
you keep up.
Flags are colorful reminders for items you
need to follow up on, whether tasks, messages, or contacts.
Outlook 2007 offers several options for setting flags to
complement the way you work.
Flags can give you pop-up reminders and they
also appear in the To-Do Bar, where you can easily see what
actions you need to take each day.
The demo shows you how to get started using
flags and stay on top of your job.

Do
Your Backup Your Data?
 In today’s
world, technology is a key aspect to all parts of your business. From
accounting and management to day-to-day communication, more and more
parts of your business are preformed solely on computers. Companies must
take advantage of today’s technology to stay competitive. Email is the
preferred method of communication and computers are integral for
executing transactions and storing valuable data. With the importance of
computers and technology, it is critical that every organization has a
complete solution to deal with the threat of data loss.
In the past,
companies have backed up their data using magnetic tapes which were then
typically stored off-site. While a usable method for incrementally
backing up data off-site, this process is tedious and time-consuming.

tape library can be easily overlooked and can result in permanent data
loss.

OF BUSINESSES THAT SUFFER A SERIOUS DATA LOSS ARE
OUT OF BUSINESS IN TWO YEARS

medium businesses can suffer severe repercussions if their critical data
is not securely backed up at an off-site location.

small-business owners believe social networking sites have a place
in the business world, according to a 2008 survey by SurePayroll.
