Tying Together Non-Profits and You

 

If you have a non-profit business, you can get some software for free. The savings may seem small, but they free up more dollars to fulfill an organization's mission.

 

While it's the subject of our lead article this month, there are connections for all of our clients - non-profit or for-profit, business or home:

  • Regardless of your corporate structure, there are ways to save on software costs if your organization cannot qualify as a non-profit

  • One of our non-profit clients is GreenVision Inc., an electronics recycler and the place where we take our own electronics and those of our clients.   
  • If you are replacing equipment this year - especially those old XP-based computers and servers - there are a few steps to take to protect data security.

Freebies for Non-Profits; Savings for Others

 

Non-profits can keep their shoestrings from fraying by taking advantage of free software offerings from a number of publishers. Even for-profit businesses can realize savings. That can be especially helpful for small and home-based businesses that operate on shoestring budgets or have little margin for extra expenses.   Here's how Sterling Rose can help you.

The Downgrade Upgrade

We can't verify that Microsoft will make a last-minute decision to support the XP operating system. But we can tell you that nothing has shaken our belief that you should replace XP with Windows 7 because Windows 8 and 8.1 are a disaster for business. If you have Windows 8 or 8.1 Professional, you can upgrade your capabilities by "downgrading" to Windows 7 Professional. There is no charge for the software.  Here's what you need to know.
 
Security Tips for What You Use or Recycle

Whether you're activating new equipment or continuing to use equipment and websites, and whether you're recycling old computers, peripherals and devices, there are a number of security steps you can take to avoid a variety of problems.  Here's how to cover your tracks.
