		Refresh Your Website - The three B's of computers - Computer pricing - IE 7 Update New Year's resolutions In Project Management there is a rule; Plan the work and work the plan. The idea is that you will not know if you have completed your task unless you define what "completed" means. You can track your work electronically or will lists of paper, but tracking will provide you with done tasks and a feeling of accomplishment. Have a Happy New Year! Refresh Your Website Do you want to look at the same old calendar for another year? No? Why don't you change it to a refreshing new 2007 calendar with new information? The same logic applies to your web site. Is there anything new you want your customer's to know? Have you added services, expanded hours, added new staff? Little changes can go a long way. Give us a call and we can help you shape your message to YOUR clients. Backup, Backup, Backup In real estate it is the three "R's", in IT it is the three "B's". Are you confident that your Accounts Receivable is safe if there were an "event" (fire, water, electric, etc) at your office? How often do you backup, where is the backup, when was the last time your backup was tested? What good is backing up your data if it isn't a valid copy? We have spoken before about solutions for local backups, but NEW for 2007 we have a REMOTE Backup Service. We can automatically backup your critical data to OUR server on a defined schedule. This data can be verified as valid so you have the piece of mind your data is safe. Contact to find out how this Remote Backup Service can help you. Computer prices As we mentioned last month computer prices are still lower than they were in the fall. Expect this trend to continue for another month (until computer vendors start shipping Vista). If you are ready to purchase a computer, let us know and we can recommend a configuration to meet your needs. Internet Explorer 7 - Update Microsoft has been busy patching Internet Explorer 7 and it may now be finally ready to use. It has only been 3 months since its release. How do you know if you can upgrade? Ask yourself these questions: Does your Internet Browser do what you want it to do? Do you use QuickBooks 2004 or older? Is this your busy season? If your answer was Yes to any of the above, then do not upgrade at this time. Wait until you upgrade your software or there is a need to install this new browser. Firefox remains a favorite of ours and does not these issues. Feel free to send us comments or requests for future topics.
