Technology at it's Best!

Kardon Tech

Greetings!

   

Are you feeling as wide-eyed as I am?  Sandy just left a trail of destruction in the NE.  Halloween is, well... here.  And elections are next week.  How can I focus?

Well, in today's world, technology is closely connected to each of these events.  Models predicting the culmination of multiple storms bearing down on the NE were much more accurate than in the past.

Costumes have amazing technology incorporated today.  Last year, even an amateur (geek) made a costume using dual iPads to make it appear he had a gaping hole through his torso.  And the greatest Haunted Houses use technology to time incredible tours and shows.

Outside of improved voting systems, the technology involved in polling can look at and weigh data all kinds of ways.  It helps the candidates know where to campaign and how much money to spend where.

Technology is... everywhere!  So, all I got is, "stay safe, Happy Halloween and please go Vote!"


Sincerely,

Brian G. Wilson

The 2nd Red Dot
Do You Have Suggestions?

So, I was sitting here trying to come up with a topic for this article.  I looked up from my computer screen and there it was.  Right there in front of me.  The 2nd red dot! 

Let me tell you about the first red dot before I give you the history.  All I know is I heard, "nothing seems to work", and "what will help you do it?".  Then I saw the first red dot.  "Since you are a visual person, let's try this.  We'll see if a constant reminder will help"  Well, I'm telling you, it's helping!

The history?  Like many of us, I'm a pretty busy person.  But my duties scale a pretty wide spectrum.  I could be drafting e-mails one minute, answering a call the next second, writing a newsletter article the next, and running to the post office or bank right after that.  I'll jump on a project in a minute...

You're Not the Only One 
 
To say we understand is an understatement.  IT (Information Technology, not it) is so complex!  How do you know you have the right procedures in place?  Are you optimizing time and steps in your office?

Our goal is, and has always been, to work with you.  Now, we have clients that would rather stay out of the loop.  They want or need something, they make a call, we provide a pricing comparison and off we go when a decision is made.  But most of our clients spend time with us in consultation. 

You know that feeling when you know you've made the right decision...

Question:  iPad, or...?
 
Answer: That's it?  That's the question? 
Well, I'm certainly no professional, but the question is kinda the answer.  If you are using the iPad as the comparison, then...

Services That Work 

Just in case you weren't sure, this section is intended to show how we service our clients and handle issues and concerns in every day situations.

What do I do, though, when there aren't any problems to report?  Well, that's great, for one, because it means we are doing our job and our services work.  So this month, I'll share one of the things we didn't do to still service our clients.

We do help with websites.  After releasing one of our recent designs, the client began trying to find the new site on Google.  She contacted us to ask how to get the site more visibility.  Now, we work with...

Disaster Recovery Plan
Is Your Office Secure?     

With the passing of Hurricane / Tropical Super Storm Sandy, one can't help but think about what you might do if you are hit with a disaster, natural or otherwise.  Most of our clients, both here in the south and up north, were not directly affected by the storm.  But many of us still had some risk.

We may not have had coastal flooding, but wind gusts reached dangerous peaks for days, toppling trees and power lines.  What would your plan be if one fell onto or into your office?  Or what if a power surge took out one of your computers or servers?   And although we haven't experienced a storm of this nature locally, Atlanta has experienced flooding and other disasters.  Then there were entire New York city blocks going up in flames, which is not out of the realm of possibility for any city.  What would you do?

About Us
We strive to be your partner, not just a phone number or an email address.  If you need someone that works to understand the needs of your practice and wants to help you succeed, if you need an IT staff without actually hiring one, then we need to talk.....
