Small Businesses And Hosted Exchange Service

Large businesses typically have no problems setting up communication systems that allow their employees to not only stay in contact with colleagues wherever they go but access company information while on the road, at home, and even from their phones. Until recently however small businesses often struggled in areas of both inner office and external office communications mainly due to the high cost once associated with such technologies.

These days however small businesses can utilize hosted exchange services at a relatively low cost which essentially grants them access to the same technologies that only large companies were once able to afford. A small business with hosted exchange services in place will not only see a service that functions as a data backup service but one that also allows all employees to stay in contact with their coworkers and access important company information regardless of their location.

Hosted exchange services will allow employees of small businesses to schedule meetings, book conference rooms, and even access coworkers and clients information from virtually any location on the planet. Hosted exchange services essentially allow small businesses to operate with the efficiency seen in large businesses without ever missing a beat.

If you have any questions about hosted exchange services for your business, either large or small, please be sure to contact us so that we may be of assistance!

Upgrading To Windows 8? Don't Forget The Touchscreens

Preparing a business for major operating system overhaul or upgrade is not only an expensive endeavor but one that must never be taken lightly. While most new operating systems function on computers that are anywhere from one to three years old, there are those operating systems that, from time to time, require or benefit greatly from new hardware.

Such is the case with Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8. While Windows 7 is virtually Windows Vista 2.0, Windows 8 is an all-new beast. The operating system promises to not only provide users with a graphical interface strikingly similar to that found on Windows phones but the emphasis placed on touchscreen technology is really the highlight of the operating system.

Businesses considering an upgrade to Windows 8 would do well to keep in mind that while the operating system will indeed work with a keyboard or mouse, to get the most out of it employees will need to be using touchscreens. Utilizing touchscreens will allow employees to be more productive and more efficient with their work and ultimately help them stay more organized.

If you own a business that is planning on upgrading to Windows 8 this autumn be sure to give heavy consideration to upgrading your company's monitors to touchscreens as well. Windows 8, while functional without a touchscreen, is almost a useless upgrade for businesses. Should you have any questions about touchscreens, operating systems, or the upcoming Windows 8 please be sure to contact us so that we may be of assistance.
