Customer Kudos
| |
|
I would like to express my appreciation to Mark Davis, Quincy Branch Office, and your team. This is the third server installation that I have supervised for Mark Twain Distributing and it has been by FAR the smoothest! I appreciated that you and your staff made multiple trips to our office before the project began to explain the details of both the hardware and the process for installing the new server.
I was especially impressed with Christopher Peterson. He was very accommodating of the rather restrictive time constraints that I put on this project. He kept our down time to an absolute minimum - maybe 2 hours for the entire switch. And, he was very personable, easy to work with, and willing to answer all of my questions.
Again, I would like to thank you all for a job well done!
Thanks,
Hope Gibbons, Controller

Microsoft, the leader in the PC operating system market in the 1990s and early 2000s, has been facing stiff competition from open source Linux and Apple's Mac OS X over the years, as well as from the megatrend of workers relying on an array of mobile devices, such as smartphones, and moving away from traditional desktops.
To compete, Microsoft is preparing to deliver a new OS, jumping from Windows 8 to Windows 10. Windows 10 offers features that Microsoft is promising will provide its users with seamless integration across all device platforms. Read more

Lexmark smart MFPs just got smarter
Lexmark recently announced two new applications that allows users of the Lexmark smart MFPs to produce a Secure Release embedded solution for small workgroups. These applications, when used in conjunction, allow users to access the Lexmark Smart MFP and release print jobs securely at their convenience with either a proximity card or a 4 digit pin.
Lexmark's Card Authentication application allows companies to grant access to their devices' functions and apps via the same magnetic stripe or proximity cards their employees already use to securely access physical facilities, saving time and protecting the device from unauthorized activity.
Secure H eld Print Jobs is an easy-to-use application that prevents the accidental exposure of your user's sensitive or confidential business information by holding jobs at the device until an authorized user releases the job for printing. All without the need for a print server or an IT technician to install it.
Contact your CDS sales rep today or click here for more information.

Top 12 Security Solutions
|
Story adapted from Elliot Markowitz, former CRN editor
Security breaches are running wild. By all accounts, 2014 was the most active year for hackers, spammers and cybercriminals, and all experts agree that 2015 will be even worse.
However, as technology and security strategies have evolved, so has the sophistication of the breaches themselves. Yesterday's solutions will not meet tomorrow's threats. Any data breach can wreak havoc on a business and even the identity theft of just one employee will impact the organization financially and productivity-wise.
But while the big security breaches are what make all the headlines, small business and individuals are being targeted daily. Most companies and people have been the victim of a security breach and they probably don't even know it. And while no one can prevent an attack, companies need to be better prepared for when it happens.
