 When early American settlers headed westward across the plains into the wilderness it wasn’t because they knew the journey would be safe. They weighed the risks versus the benefits and chose to take whatever precautions they could and proceed despite the dangers.
The Internet is not safe as long as it remains an unregulated “wild west” of anonymity and freedom. Whether this is good or bad can be debated in academic circles. The reality for those of us that go online and do business is that we are all responsible for our own safety. Armed bandits, con artists, and “wild Indians” were the dangers the early pioneers had to be prepared for. Identity thieves, cyber terrorists, sexual predators, and anarchists are the modern day equivalent for us. No website is safe. |

During a recession, the purchase of new hardware is often the first thing to be put on hold. PCs get used longer, network hardware upgrades get postponed, and the old phone system on its last leg continues to limp along. I am cheaper than most people, and I tend to take the same approach, even during good times. That being said, there are reasons to consider hardware upgrades even during down economic times, and failing to do so can cost you more money in the long run. Based on a recent TechRepublic article by Erik Eckel, here are 8 reasons to consider new hardware: |

Small businesses that could only dream of one day having their own data center can now share some of the largest modern data center resources in the world with fellow subscribers. And, now that many companies are cutting IT budgets and laying off workers, the idea of cloud computing has become an even greater attraction. Benefits are the economy-ofscale savings, the relief of not having to deal with maintaining and protecting their own servers, and a built-in remote access solution for scattered work groups. Over one million businesses are now saving big money by dumping their old servers and moving shared files online. |

After the trials and tribulations that many early adopters of Windows Vista endured, the IT community at large has been anxiously awaiting a better alternative from Microsoft. The answer finally came on Jan. 9th at 3:00PM when the beta version of Windows 7 was released for public download. The response was much greater than Microsoft had anticipated. People from around the world began overwhelming servers to the point that Microsoft had to take them offline and postpone the event until capacity could be increased. |

 I am so excited about 2009! Yes, I know, there is a lot of negative talk about the economy, but to paraphrase something I read recently "I refuse to participate in the downturn" there are still plenty of companies making money and plenty of opportunity for them to leverage technology to advance their business.
So what about resolutions for 2009? We usually think about getting in shape (The gym has been packed the last few weeks!) volunteering more, all of these good things and I recommend them. However, my focus is technology in small business, so I'll give you a few that will help move your business forward in 2009: - I will get a secure firewall
- Backup my data and take it off site
- Create a backup & Recovery plan in case of fire, theft or other damage
- Hire someone to patch, monitor and maintain my Servers and Desktops
- Update my website
- Create an Acceptable Use Policy for my business
- Review my phone and Internet Access expenses
This is just seven, I could think of more but Rome wasn't built in a day, there is always 2010. Please call or email if you have any questions or comments! Mike
