September 2010 - Customer Service or Customer Experience?
Customer service is a business practice, but is it really implemented with each and every employee? Does it show on their face and in their actions when you walk through the door? Is the service you receive "just service" or is it an experience?

How would you want a friend treated if they came into your home or called you on the phone?

August 2010 - Failure to Plan is a Disaster in Itself
Data protection is crucial for protecting your business’s continuity. If your only data backup is on a computer and the hard disk fails or is damaged by a power surge, your business data is gone. And having paper copies of business data isn’t adequate data protection. What if your business premises burn to the ground or experience severe flooding? Once again the data you need to carry on your business could be irretrievably lost.
