IT For Small Business: Break-Fix vs. Managed Services

Mar, Wed 16th, 2011 Posted in : Business Process, Cloud Computing, FUD-busting, Managed Services By : admin 0 Comments Tags: Business Process, fud-buster, managed services, outsourced IT, support, tech support

One of the problem with many computer-tech types is that they love to use lots of buzzwords, catch-phrases and jargon. Not all of them, but many of them. Unfortunately business management books often don’t include a dictionary. This leaves you to guess on how to translate what the geeks are saying, and to understand the [...]

The Ups and Downs of Technology

Mar, Sun 6th, 2011 Posted in : Business Process, Cloud Computing, Internet, New Tech By : admin 0 Comments Tags: Business Process, Cloud Computing, fud-buster, Internet, tech support, Uptime

Maybe they were working late anyway, maybe they weren’t; who knows. However that simple act has since changed the way we expect to be able to serve our clients [...]

Trusting Your Outsourced IT

Mar, Tue 1st, 2011 Posted in : Business Process, FUD-busting, Internet, New Tech By : admin 0 Comments Tags: Business Process, business support, fud-buster, outsourced IT, Twitter

Did you ever think Twitter could be used as an analogy for tech support people? Some of you may know that I’m a fairly big hockey fan. Not just one team, but the sport itself. Sure I have my favourites, but I read a fair amount of news about different teams, and am happy watching [...]

Connectivity

Dec, Mon 6th, 2010 Posted in : Uncategorized By : admin 0 Comments Tags: Business Process, Internet, New Tech, tethering

As I write this, I’m actually sitting in a room with my laptop plugged into my cell phone. The cell phone is providing the internet access I require. For those not in the know, this is referred to as ‘tethering’. By doing this, I am able to accomplish almost all the work I need to, [...]

Another Major Shift

Nov, Wed 17th, 2010 Posted in : Applications, Business Process, Business Software, Internet, New Tech By : Jeremy 0 Comments Tags: Business Software, Cloud Computing, Internet, Microsoft, Office, Office 365

A couple weeks ago I gave a presentation to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce on understanding new technologies. Things like cloud computing, Software As A Service, and explaining what they mean to and for businesses. Then a few days later I received a news item that seemed very timely to that presentation. This one will be [...]

AVG Free Update Warning

Oct, Thu 14th, 2010 Posted in : Applications, Business Process, Business Software, New Tech, Uptime, Virus and Malware By : admin 1 Comments Tags: AVG, Business Software, Uptime, virus

Avg Anti-Virus Free Edition (http://free.avg.com) is one of the internet’s most popular downloads. And why not? For almost every computer (yes, even Apple machines), anti-virus is essential. And what better price for software than… free? The people at AVG seem to follow a pattern though, and it’s almost time for that pattern to come full [...]

Why Better Business

Jul, Mon 19th, 2010 Posted in : Business Process, FUD-busting, news, Uncategorized By : admin 0 Comments Tags: BBB, computer support, fud-buster, tech support

CPG Systems recently went through the process of getting accredited by the Better Business Bureau here in the BC Lower Mainland. We’re really quite happy to have been accepted.
