Starbucks, The New Office For Mobile Business
- As business professionals, who hasn't conducted business from a coffee shop now and then? Technology is making it easier to work from the road with lighter laptops and digital devices such as the Blackberry and the Treo phone. A recent article from The Guardian takes a closer look at this rapidly growing phenomenon in their article Lightening the Load for Digital Nomads. The article explores one digital business person's experience with the lighter laptops.
Despite all the enhancements to working remotely, however, people are often deterred by the cost and hassle of Wi-Fi in public places, not to mention the security risks. A great solution to this dilemma is the wireless data card, from cell phone carriers such as Sprint, which plugs easily into your laptop, allowing you to connect from anywhere to send emails and surf the internet with an easy add-on to your cell phone budget. As for the security issue, this is a very real concern, one solution may be a private VPN for your mobile workforce. Most public Wi-Fi hot-spots are not secure.
Ask us today how we can help your business with effective communication and business solutions such as the Sprint data cards for wireless freedom or assistance with mobile security.
Laptop Screens To Become Widescreens
Good news for those of us out there with eye strain and who use laptops in place of desktops. Laptop screens are predicted to become wider as an industry standard by 2008. With falling glass-panel prices and high-end TV makers' focus on widescreen, rectangular screens are quickly becoming the standard. A recent article from USA Today discusses this exciting development in ...Laptops Make Shift to Wider Screens.

Technology makers are proving wrong the expression "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" with their new advances on old items. Take for example the time clock. Say goodbye to the old punch cards and say hello to the finger print scanner. These changes can mean more cost-effective results among other advantages for very little investment. An article from the New York Times (free registration) explores this development in Putting Tech to Work, On the Cheap.
Consider also the reality that most small businesses are still operating in the dark ages in terms of data protection. Backing up your critical data is not only affordable for small business, it is crucial. Something as simple as a fire in your office building or even a hurricane can destroy your business. Ask your Concerto Networks solution provider for more information on affordable back-up solutions.
