| Greetings! |
The State of the economy has left many of us with less than Holiday cheer. We are offering some end of year promotions to help lift your Spirits.
For our Year end newsletter we at AdviseTech would like to allow our reader's an opportunity to have some of their questions, concerns and fears, about the Computer & IT industry addressed.
We would welcome the opportunity to help clear up some misinformation and misconceptions.
Please forward your questions and thoughts to AdviseTech@advisetech.com subject: Q&A. We will attempt to publish as many as possible. All queries must be in by November 25, so that we may address them in the December 2008 issue.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Wishing all a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.
From all of us at AdviseTech |
| Winning the PCI complianc battle! |
 The things that PCI is looking for are really the motherhood and apple pie issues of security, making sure that firewalls are only passing traffic on accepted and approved ports, that servers are running only those services that really need to be live, that databases aren't configured with vendor supplied defaults-it's all standard security assessment stuff."

 VoIP to Save and Thrive Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has evolved from just being the cutting-edge, disruptive technology to becoming the preferred solution for business communications today.
This is driven by substantial cost savings realized by deploying proven systems and software. Many firms have relied on VoIP solutions for 5 years and longer, and have vowed not to turn back.
Adoption of VoIP telephony among businesses started slow compared to residential users. Telephony and Internet were perceived as not reliable and robust enough to meet business needs. That view has changed, and firms not considering VoIP today are missing out.
The key factors besides cost savings influencing business owners to migrate to VoIP are:
Remote Workforce: Telecommuters, Mobile Workers, Branch Offices needs
Ease of Implementation and Management: Local Support
Multi-vendor Environment: Open Systems & Standards:
Feature Diversity: High Level of Customization available.
XIPTEL (www.xiptel.com) is an experienced VoIP service provider since 2003 and a solutions partner of AdviseTech. For additional information or a no-obligation cost/benefit analysis, please contact AdviseTech at 866.766.1313!
