Of Mice and Keyboards:
The Case for Wireless Peripherals
by Christopher
Elliott
reprinted with permission from the Microsoft Small Business
Center
'Fess up. It took
awhile for many of you to really believe how much more
productive you could be with wireless networking, didn't it?
I'm here now to make a case for how wireless peripherals - that
is, wireless mice, keyboards, printers, monitors, and so on -
can also make your business more efficient, more productive,
and, to boot, a more desirable place to work.
I'll start by
asking if you or any of your employees have workstations
cluttered with cables and cords?

IT Solutions
Introduces Two New Flat-Fee FileMaker Services
In an effort to help
our clients get more out of their FileMaker systems and provide
additional security for their data, IT Solutions introduces two
new FileMaker support plans that go beyond traditional custom
programming solutions. While custom development has always been
our primary focus, we’ve recently recognized clients are looking
for more consistent system support that ensures stability and
performance and gives users access to a wealth of FileMaker
knowledge in ITS certified consultants. So we’ve put together a
pair of support plans that, as a package, fill in the gaps left
by traditional hourly programming services, but also can be
effective as standalone support options.
 Our
FMAssure plan provides comprehensive coverage that goes
far beyond traditional backup solutions and was developed just
for FileMaker servers. From priority support for locally hosted
solutions to full off-site backup, disaster recovery, and
business continuity services, clients can trust their FileMaker
systems and data to IT Solutions.
 FMAssist
is a user support plan that adds to your existing
programming support with day-to-day coverage for general
FileMaker questions as well as support for your specific
application. Clients get unlimited user support for all
their application’s functionality for one low monthly price
based on their number of users. So they don't have to break
the bank to get the knowledge they need when they need it.

Continuity: Business as Usual, No Matter What
Five steps every business should take to prepare for a business
interruption
 When
people think of disasters, they generally envision hurricanes,
tornados or floods -- catastrophic events that devastate
communities. But for a business, a disaster can be something as
small as a failed switch or computer virus. These seemingly
minor events can have a shocking impact on a business, often
bringing operations to a standstill.
Creating a basic,
executable business continuity plan is one of the most important
steps you can take to protect your organization and assure
business as usual - no matter what the scenario.
Here are five
key steps to help you get started.
