Springing Forward Without Tripping

Good day,

 

Spring is more than a time of year that symbolizes growth.  For many of us, spring is the season when our business plans for the year really begin to take off. Our focus changes from planning to executing, evaluating, and refining our efforts. As we push to move forward, we do not want to trip over obstacles that can be avoid, or should be out of our way completely.   

 

This month, we are focusing our resources on smoothing your path forward.

  • With the economy in flux and inflation taking its toll, we discuss practical ways to manage IT inflation in this month's Coffee & Clouds webcast on Monday, April 11th.
  • Our 3T@3 Webcast this month focuses on improving your team's productivity by Spring Cleaning Your Files.
  • We also share some important security news and interesting trends for small business IT services.

On a related note, real estate agents and brokers are a new favorite target of cyber attacks. In a recent case, an agent's email was compromised, allowing the attackers to send clients fake emails of accepted deals and instructions to transfer deposits and other funds.  Across many clients, the stolen funds total well into six figures.  The agent and broker face legal action, financial liability, and severe reputation damage.  Preventing these types of attacks is not difficult or expensive. Check our our blog post and our Coffee and Clouds webcast on April 22nd for more info and solutions.

 

 

Thank you for being part of our community,

Allen Falcon, CEO
