			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>How can unified communications help develop a business? What is &#8220;unified communications&#8221; and what all does it encompass?  We would like to take a moment to clarify a term that is becoming more commonly used in today&#8217;s workplace, and how it effects you, the end user.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unified communications, or UC, was created to streamline the communications process. Traditionally, the user had 2 forms of communication, the phone and the computer.  With technology advancing as quickly as it has, the user has multiple facets of communication.  Phone boxes (PBX), VoIP (voice over Internet protocol), Cellular, land lines, data line, email, faxes, and we could just keep listing ways that one person could communicate with another.  Lets take this to the next level.  How do you combine all of the ways to communicate and make it easy to use?  How does that help anyone? Ask yourself these questions:</div>
<ul>
<li>Are you limited by what you can do outside of your office?</li>
<li>Would you like to be able to access your desktop from anywhere?</li>
<li>Would you like all your calls that go to your office come to your cell phone when you are not in the office?</li>
<li>Would it be easier to check your voicemail if it was in an email?</li>
<li>How would you like to be able to access any document from any computer?</li>
<li>Do you want your faxes to come to your email as an attachment rather than waste paper resources on the fax machine?</li>
</ul>
<div> Let&#8217;s look at the responses to these questions.  Are you limited by what you can do outside of your office?  What happens when you are sick and have to stay home?  Are you missing a whole day or two of productivity because your desktop is at work?  With UC, you can work from home, your car, the mall-where ever you may be, as long as you have access to the Internet. This leads to question two, would you like to access your desktop from anywhere?  You can when you have simplified the communications process.  What about when you are on the road?  Your potential client probably doesn&#8217;t have your personal cell phone number, so how do you not miss their phone call? With UC, you can still get the phone call even though you are not in the office, and you can even get advanced caller identification on all your calls no matter where you are.  And wouldn&#8217;t it be great to access any document from any computer?  Besides carrying a handful of USB Flash drives, you can utilize cloud computing with UC.  This means all your documents are stored and accessed via the Internet. What about faxes?  Wasting paper on junk faxes, and even using a fax is starting to become obsolete.  With UC you can go green (paperless) and get all faxes via email.  Need to send a fax?  Scan and send it as an email instead.  This saves time and resources and we all need to do that. Using UC can help expand your client database, video conference, and manage your time effectively.</div>
<div>Unified Communications is designed to make your current communication process more efficient.  You need to streamline all the forms of communication that you use on a daily basis into an easy to use mobile application.  It is possible to remain cost effective and efficient at the same time. We can show you how.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>What do you do when you computer starts acting weird?</li>
<li>Is your computer running too slowly?</li>
<li>Is your email disappearing before your eyes?</li>
<li>What do you do?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are at work, who do you talk to about this? Do you have a phone number of a person you are supposed to call? Do you need technical support or do you need the help desk? How do you know?</p>
<p>According to SearchCRM.com, Help Desk is: in a business enterprise, a help desk is a place that a user of information technology can call to get help with a problem. In many companies, a help desk is simply one person with a phone number and a more or less organized idea of how to handle the problems that come in. In larger companies, a help desk may consist of a group of experts using software to help track the status of problems and other special software to help analyze problems (for example, the status of a company&#8217;s telecommunications network).</p>
<p>Wikipedia says technical support (also tech support) is: a range of services providing assistance with technology products such as mobile phones, televisions, computers, or other electronic or mechanical goods. In general, technical support services attempt to help the user solve specific problems with a product—rather than providing training, customization, or other support services. (At PSS Enterprises, we like to think that instead of &#8220;rather&#8221; it should be &#8220;including&#8221;.)</p>
<p>For too long, we have been exposed to someone else&#8217;s definitions of technical assistance, whether it is your boss, the guy down the hall or the intern in your office. The bottom line is that you need your computer, mobile, laptop, and other technical tool to work so that you can do your work. Whether you call the help desk or get tech support, you need your issues resolved quickly and efficently. These days, a unfunctional PC or laptop means down time for the company.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>As a business owner, we all realize that risk is something that is ever present.  We have to evaluate constantly if we need to take the plunge in order to improve out current standings. Often we find the call to temptation so strong that is supersedes our common sense.  Here are 4 great common sense ways to minimize risk with your business.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Rent-Depending on what you do, you should probably rent your office space.  Locking your company or worse your personal name into a mortgage (other than your home) is downright scary.  One never knows what tomorrow may bring, and renting allows for a cheaper if not a quicker out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Buy Used-No one said you had to buy the newest and best.  Cars, heavy machinery, and big ticket items like furniture should be bought used when possible.  Definitely make sure it is a reputable source, but who can really tell between a gently used copier and a brand new one. Ask yourself, &#8221;Who am I trying to impress?&#8221;.  Unless your clients are complete snobs, you should go used. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Pay Cash- There is no buying power better than the almighty dollar.  Waving cold hard cash under the nose of a salesman has interesting effects on them.  Lower prices, better negotiation, and the power walking out on a sure sale will certainly help salespeople see things your way.  Not to mention, credit cards are like paying with cash, only you pay the amount of the item you purchased plus 18%.  Cash is king.  </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Outsource- When possible, use someone&#8217;s expertise besides your own.  Why tangle yourself into unnecessary employees?  Not only will you have to deal with the &#8220;people issues&#8221; but you are also stuck with their limited knowledge base, limited network, and costly skills.  By outsourcing key departments like IT, HR, and Bookkeeping, you can save yourself annual salary costs.  Because outsourced work is not typically done full time, you save on all the hours that you are not using with them.  And when you are using them, you are getting the highest level of expertise, instead of relying on your spouse&#8217;s sister that is out of work right now to help manage your company.  </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This brings me to PSS Enterprises. They are a one stop shop for all of your outsourcing solutions.  They have a stellar cast of consultants who know how to get the job done right the first time.  Their IT staff offers remote technology so that neither of you have to leave the office to get help.  Their HR department has a special division for OSHA compliance. They even offer collection assistance on those hard to collect from customers.  Give them a call today to see how they can help you minimize your risks and maximize your bottom line. </div>

<div>    It is great to see a company growing and developing. With growth and development comes new energy, new ideas, new personnel, and new costs.  It is to easy to get in over ones&#8217; head when it comes to the new personnel and new costs.   Everyone seems to have an opinion on where you should spend that next dollar.  Personnel hires are very tricky as is, let alone an IT hire.  People with IT skills are not to be taken lightly.  Hire someone with a great resume and little practical knowledge and you will be in for a ride.  Hire someone with mediocre resume and skills and you will probably get those same results.  Hire the wrong person and they could mine all your data and leave you with nothing.  A little on the dark side, but it is a possibility.  Or, you could outsource to a Managed IT Company.  Take a moment to compare Hiring versus Outsourcing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Benefits of outsourcing to a Managed IT company are many.  An IT person brings with them their limited knowledge and networking.  A managed IT company brings with them a whole staff with a considerable depth of knowledge and an extensive network of even more behind the scenes IT people.  So if your one IT person doesn&#8217;t know how to take care of a &#8220;problem&#8221;, he then has to FIND and PAY someone else to take care of the issue. Which brings me to my next point, additional costs.</div>
<div>When you hire someone, you must pay staffing costs.  Training, laptops, smart-phones, insurance, payroll (and their extra costs), certifications, sick time, and personal time are just to name a few. With your Managed IT company, you are not financially responsible for making sure that their staff has the latest and greatest certifications, the newest technology, or the loss of productivity your company feels when the on-staff person is on vacation for 2 weeks and the server is down.   Your managed IT company is there for your around the clock, monitoring your systems, installing updates, all the while transparent to you and your staff. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another way to take the cost picture on is to look at it this way.  For a seasoned IT professional (about 5 years) one would normally pay a salary of $60,000.  What are you getting for this $60K?  One person&#8217;s knowledge, one person&#8217;s network, and a single set of skills that will cost you to expand.  Most managed IT company&#8217;s costs are at least half of this (depending on the size of the company) and what do you get for $30,000 or less?  Networking, round the clock service, wealth of experience, and someone who will always answer the phone.  Why not pay half the price for a team of experts?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One last thing I should mention about IT people.  They get bored easily.  If they are not challenged with something new everyday, they will find something else to do.  Whether that spells out to a new job or taking on &#8220;side-jobs&#8221; while they are working for you, you can bet that they do not have your company&#8217;s best interest at heart.  Not to say they are ALL like that, but you are certainly rolling the dice.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To ensure that you do not have &#8220;Hire-Regret&#8221; take a good look at why you want someone on staff, especially full time. Make a list of tasks and goals that you want accomplished and then ask yourself, is it worth the time, additional costs, and worry to have someone on-site full time. Wouldn&#8217;t you rather have someone you can call on as needed, someone you know is working on your task list behind the scenes?  Rest assured that a complete managed IT company will focus on your IT budget, vendor relationships, network monitoring, disaster recovery, knowledge-based management, and overall well being of the company.  So ask yourself, to hire and regret, or to outsource to <span class="misspell">PSS</span> Enterprises, the best one stop shop for IT management?</div>
