Each year the folks at MSPmentor publishes a few lists of what they see as the top Managed Service Providers.  Their list includes the top 100 Small Business Managed Services Providers (10 or fewer employees).  Simplex-IT found itself once again on that list for 2015.  We moved up from 49th in 2014 to 42nd in 2015.

Corporate data is important.

Most corporations keep track of their operations.  How they service their customers.  How they work with their vendors.  Cash flow.

We usually gather this data through applications, and the data is "structured," meaning it's contained using a technology like SQL, Oracle or the like.

Our topic for our Lunchinar this month is "Keeping Corporate Data Healthy."

Data is critical to your business.

It needs to be healthy and reliable.  It needs to be there when you need it.  And it needs to provide you with answers to questions that assist in your operations, both strategically and operationally. In other words it needs to be 'good' data.

Do you have confidence your data is good?  Do you proactively deal with issues involving your data and have confidence that it is healthy?  That it will 'be there' when you need it - accurate, secure and ready to be used?

Having comfort and confidence in your data is a simple matter of addressing the '3 pillars' of good data.

• Health:  your data can be used when you need to use it.
• Performance: your data is available quickly enough to be useful.
• Usefulness: your data serves its intended purpose, but can be readily used for others as well.

This month, we're going to focus on "Health."  This includes:

In this webcast, we will continue to look at our data that we worked with in the last webcast using Microsoft Access 2013.  In the last webcast we created tables and worked with field settings and learned how to find data in a table.  Now, we will learn how to filter in a table.  Filters are a great way to find information quickly in a database, but are not as powerful as queries.

Queries ask questions and are the guts of a database.  It's where you get all the answers to your questions to extract useful information.  We will learn how to create queries using one or more tables in a database.  We will see how to create queries using the query wizard and work with criteria to get the information we are looking for.  We will learn how to create a calculation in a query and total a group of items, such as total sales by department, total units in stock for products.  Do you want to enter the information you are looking for in a box so you get a different outcome each time you run the query or print a report, let's create a parameter query to do just that.  Now that you have the information you need, why not print the query.  You want the report to look nice, let's combine the fields such as first and last name even though they were create as separate fields in a table.  You can also export the report to Word and then email it to someone even if they don't use Access.

Hi! I'm Zoey Sollisch and I just finished my first week at Simplex-IT. I graduated from Kent State almost a year ago and have a strong background in sales. I started my sales journey working at the most hated place on campus: the alumni fund for annual giving. Basically my job was to call and ask alumni for money. Although it was the highest turnover job on campus, I absolutely loved it and stayed for almost two years raising well over 25,000 for Kent State. That's when I discovered my passion for people/selling. I loved going into work every day and forming relationships with all different kinds of people on the phone. After that I pursued a sales and custom marketing internship at the Cleveland Jewish News which I immediately fell in love with. I learned an incredible amount and met some of the best people. I then had an internship at a recruiting company and after I graduated I got a job in outside sales at Pure Water Technology selling water purification systems. I stayed for about 8 months and realized it wasn't for me and that I really wanted an inside sales job in IT. My brother works in IT sales and loves absolutely everything about it.

When I found Simplex-IT I applied immediately. After one week I can honestly say this is the best culture I've been a part of. I love how ethical and non corporate everything is here. I am so excited to be a part of the team.

Although I'm not technical, I'm looking forward to bringing a new perspective to the team.
