How important is your Data?
Dateline May 26,
2009, by Neil Medwed, President of PTS.
I walked into a
new customer’s office today for a meeting and what I found
disturbed me greatly. They were backing up their important
company data to a tape backup unit. Why did it bother me so?
Because their old technology provider told them that they
were effectively protecting their data.
Did you know that over 70% of the restores from tape
will not restore your data fully?
PTS is moving
many of our customers to off-site backup, or a combination
of off-site and disk backup. Let us evaluate how you are
protecting your data and whether your data is safe. Our
NetManage backup is affordable and for many, a must. If your
company data is important, please call us at 972-331-5656 to
setup a no cost evaluation.

Software Piracy: 7 Tips
by Monte Enbysk
reprinted with permission from the Microsoft Small Business
Center
Pirates still roam freely in the ocean of software out
there, but if your business is among the pirates, it could
end up costing you literally and figuratively.
You may very
well be a smart, community-minded business owner. But if
your company is using pirated software — and you condone it,
you aren't aware of it or you don't really give a rip —
you're not a responsible business owner. And you are taking
unnecessary risks.

Cool
Computer Tools to Make Your Life a Little Easier
reprinted with
permission from
Applied Tech, Madison, WI

Here's a cool
computer tool we'd like you to know about because it can
save you time and money: PDF995 is simple to use FREE
software that converts documents to PDF (Portable
Document File) format.
What is PDF
format? "PDF is a file format that captures all the
elements of a printed document as an electronic image
that you can view, navigate, print. . . or
forward to someone else regardless, of the computer. . .
program it was first created in." (Source: UCL Learning
Technology, London, England).
Why is it
important? Suppose you're sending an e-mail and you want
to share a certain file or document. Your recipient
might not be able to open your attachment unless they're
using the same version of the program you used to create
it in.
