Blogging such a simple word with so many perceived meanings. The purpose here is for our employees to share their expressions, ideas, feelings, or thoughts at a specific time, on a topic that extends beyond their inner circle. The outcome is intended to make the topic more social, start a conversation and act as a resource for future discussions.
When technology challenges present themselves, they have the potential of negatively impacting your ability to do your job. When these issues occur, you call in the IT professionals. Unfortunately, internal IT departments are often perceived as overloaded, under-manned and under-appreciated, so dealing directly with them can be more of a challenge than the technical problem itself. This is how IT departments and “computer people” get a bad name, and why most people try to avoid getting them involved at any cost.
Every website has a purpose. While it’s not always ambitious or honorable, this purpose exists and you should be able to identify it.

The past several weeks of my professional life I have been reflecting on the ever elusive term “Social Media” and its growing role in business communications. I have found myself wondering what it is about technology or hype, or in this case the hyped technologies of Social Media, that makes many experienced business decision makers throw common sense by the way side. Organizations can significantly benefit from a well thought out Social Media strategy. I also agree that the future foundation for online communications will be heavily reliant on social interactions. Neglecting to address Social Media leaves you in a potentially vulnerable position to the competition.
A short while ago I spent about 30 minutes working on (and eventually succeeding at) restoring 15 files a customer had mistakenly deleted. A task that should have only taken 3 clicks and 5 minutes, instead took about 30 clicks and just as many minutes. Click after click, prompt after prompt, and even a reboot of the tape device was needed to rectify the situation. In case you haven’t put two and two together yet – yes, a customer of mine is still using TAPE to back up their files!
