Is Your Company's Identity Safe?

 - Increasingly we hear news reports about Identity Theft and keeping your information secure. But more and more we are seeing the effects it has not simply on individuals, but on business as well. Identity theft is not only a concern for Banking and Credit Card institutions, it is every business' concern. Businesses of all types collect important customer and employee data such as social security numbers, credit card information, other account numbers and private employee and customer information. Businesses in the medical industry already are required to comply with HIPPA compliance standards to ensure privacy and security. There are standards that businesses across all industries should adopt to keep their information secure. Is your information secure from prying eyes who want to see into your company's data? Our partner, CDW, published a recent article in their publication Biz Tech Magazine on the topic detailing precautions every business can take to stay ahead of the curve, Guard Against Identity Theft.

Technology Watch

Is it time for a memory upgrade? It wasn't that long ago when you overheard people saying "1GB of system memory, who needs that much?" Well the 1GB specification is nothing to sneeze at right now... but for how long? The trusty 1GB specification is starting to not feel as spacious as before. If your system is feeling a little crowded and sluggish in the memory department, it may be time for an upgrade.

There are several new technologies coming out that will have an impact on how much memory we use in the coming year. Dual core CPUs will enable you to multitask faster... if you have enough memory. 64-Bit Programs and operating systems on the horizon of 2006 will bring greater features, speed, and visuals... if you have enough memory. PC games... well... I think you get the picture. So what's next?

The 2 GB of system memory is now quickly gaining ground with the release of faster 1GB capacity memory modules. You may not have to purchase a whole new system in order to keep up with changing technology. It can be as simple as upgrading your existing memory. As always Concerto Networks has got the latest memory products to help you keep your edge. Ask us today how we can help take your business to the next level.
