The Weakest Link
in Network Security - Continued
By Peter
Alexander
reprinted with permission from the Microsoft Small Business
Center
 Your
small-business network may be protected by firewalls, intrusion
detection and other state-of-the-art security technologies. And
yet, all it takes is one person's carelessness, and suddenly
it's as if you have no network security at all.
Let me give you an
example. In March 2006, a major financial services firm with
extensive network security disclosed that one of its portable
computers was stolen. The laptop contained the Social Security
numbers of nearly 200,000 people. How did it happen?

Partnership to
Deliver Streamlined Healthcare IT Services
 IT
Solutions has partnered with electronic healthcare records
software provider
gloStream to offer comprehensive IT support to
medical professionals. The new offering, SharedVisionM.D.,
combines IT Solutions’ 15 years of managed network services
expertise with one of the most intuitive, user-friendly
Electronic Health Records (EHR) packages on the market. As
healthcare providers strive to streamline their patient record
keeping to improve efficiencies and reduce costs,
SharedVisionM.D. offers a unique, all-in-one hardware and
software solution along with preventative network maintenance
and support.
The passage of the government’s economic stimulus legislation in
February opens the door to unprecedented incentives to doctors
for adopting EHR technology. So the timing is ideal for
practices to procure qualifying packages and get them
up-and-running. By choosing to end the paper chart chase and
outsourced transcription services with a certified electronic
patient record system, practices will receive significant
reimbursements to minimize, if not altogether eliminate, their
software costs.

Use Testimonials
to Win Sales
By Kendra Lee
 In
today’s economy you need every advantage in your sales kit.
Prospects are scrutinizing all requests for their time and each
purchase decision. You want to pass their piercing investigation
but the sales tools you’ve used in recent years aren’t cutting
it. You need something more, and testimonials are the answer.
They can be the difference maker in not just winning
opportunities but also in attracting attention in the first
place.
Testimonials are
your clients’ stamp of approval. They provide an independent
perspective that gives prospects insight into how you work, how
effective your solutions are, and the results others have
experienced through engaging you.
Recently, a client
we’ve worked with over the past 5 months was at a conference
where I was speaking. He’s highly respected among the community
and people stop and listen to his suggestions.
