More and more businesses tired of racking up high telecommunications bills are turning to the Internet for their phone service.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services enable businesses to conduct calls across the same network to access the Internet and get email – and at a fraction of the cost of traditional voice networks. However, VoIP developers have been focused on quality and reliability versus security. Therefore, if you choose to adopt VoIP, it is up to you to take the proper steps to secure it.

Background and benefits
The technology behind VoIP has been around for a few years; early incarnations of VoIP were plagued by spotty service, muddled and dropped calls. Only in the last few years has VoIP service improved enough to make it sufficiently reliable and stable for business use. In fact, businesses are finding that a well-planned and implemented VoIP system can provide call quality and reliability that rivals mobile phone or landline calls.

Do You Need Managed Services? Four questions for you to answer Are managed services a better choice than the way you are doing things now? Like everything else in your office, the answer will depend on how you want to measure it. Your first step is to answer these questions.

• Do your employees rely primarily on e-mail communication with important clients, vendors and partners? Again, the higher the impact on your bottom line, the more you should consider managed services.

Tips for Staying Healthy at Your Desk Job

Do you sit at your desk for long periods of the day? Have you ever experienced back, neck or shoulder pain after a long day at the office? Perhaps you put on a few pounds after taking a desk job. Research has shown that people who work desk jobs are likely to lose muscle tone, experience back pain, gain weight and suffer from increased stress. That's because inactivity, poor posture and bad eating habits tend to plague those who sit at a desk throughout the day.

One study by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) showed that those whose jobs require them to sit at least six hours a day are twice as likely to be overweight as those who sit for less than 45 minutes a day at work. So what can you do to stay fit but keep your desk job?

Check out these tips.
