The reality is that providing a service over the Internet is always going to be cheaper than paying shop rent and having staff to man it. So more and more businesses are using the Internet to deliver their services and this allows them to offer discounts and coupons to their customers.

Do you shop online?

I’m just excited to see how this stuff pans out in the next few years. It’s true when they say the only constant is Change!

That’s the great thing about WordPress, it’s easy to customise it to do just anything you need. What have you been using it for?

Well, one of the leading suppliers of business T1 is Megapath, a company who offers a wide range of telecommunication products, from Connectivity Services to Security Services, from VPN Services, all the way to Voice and Data services. They run an MPLS network all over North America with POPs in all the major cities. Their network map will gie you an idea of just how comprehensive their coverage is:

That’s pretty comprehensive and something you’re going to need if your company spans multiple cities, or if you need a good link from your head office to your data centre.

Take a step back and think about all the services you run on your Internet link. There’s your internet access for one, your email and instant messaging, your VOIP connection and maybe even some video conferencing. Now, imagine walking into the office one day and finding all that has been taken away. It’s a nightmare scenario that few of us dare imagine. Preventing this should be right up there in your list of priorities. The bottom line is that you really want to make sure you have the best business ethernet you can get your hands on. One with back ups and a great level of support. If that’s the case, check out MegaPath.

The shop was open found around 3 years before Arthur came along and we decided to pack it in. The website is still up and running though, still shipping wacky and wonderful stuff all over the world. So head down and buy some stink bombs.

The most common is to issue employees with access cards that let them open doors to get into secure areas. You can also get ID card printing systems that will print onto these cards so that they can have photos and other pertinent information on them. The great thing about these systems is that they made it very easy to track who is in and who is out of the building and also ensure that people only have access to areas they should be in.

However, the main thing you need to focus on is education. It’s no use having the most secure system in the world if one of your employees holds the door open for a stranger to enter the building. Proper control is the secret to a secure office, and education is paramount for this.

When engaging a new company it’s worth looking at the work they’ve done before and that’s why I like the “portfolio” side of their website. It’s easy to see what they’ve done, what their abilities are and also some companies who will vouch for them. Check them out.
