The Business Benefits of a BYOD Solution

If you don????????t know what BYOD is, don’t be concerned because you are not alone. BYOD stands for bring your own device. Many companies face the decision whether to allow employees to bring and use their own personal devices for corporate purposes. There are many benefits of a BYOD solution for your organization beyond enabling your mobile workforce.

Slow or Sluggish Wi-Fi?

I have often been presented with a question by new customers concerning their wireless networking. Why is my wi-fi coverage so poor and so slow? First, let me frame the scenario.

New Windows Update Model for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

Coming this October Microsoft will change the model in which windows updates are provided to PC users. This is, in my opinion, an attempt to push people to Windows 10. Updates for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will now be cumulative updates. An info world blog states that Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012R2 will also be switched to the same update model. This means you will have no choice in which updates you want to apply to your PC.
