As always, we're here to help.
  
Sincerely, 
Jim Kerr

Tech Trends for 2016 
Security remains a top priority for businesses.
Tech Trends 2016
In 2016, security will continue to be a priority for all businesses. Other interesting tech trends include an increase in the number of companies that allow BYOD (bring-your-own-device), the return of the stylus (who would have thought?), and possibly even the demise of the traditional password (hard to imagine).
 
 
Support ended for previous versions on January 12.
IE11 Upgrade
As of January 12, support ended for the following versions of Internet Explorer:  IE7, IE8, IE9 for all users except Windows Vista, and IE10 on all versions of Windows except for Server 2012.  From now on, only IE11 will receive technical support and security updates.
