Windows 10 has been out for a while now along with it’s new update cycle. So why now, am I deciding to write about how it handles updates? We’re finding there’s confusion amongst clients as to the what and why of the changes to Windows 10 especially on the differences between what’s an “update” and what’s a “feature update”, two very different things!
To give some background, before Windows 10 was created, Microsoft used to release a new operating system (O/S) every few years.
As we start this new year we are excited to announce that we will be moving to a new office! Our current office has served us well for several years, however we decided to purchase our own office space and move out of the current rental unit.

One thing that is rarely talked about are signatures used in email messages. Organizations often leave it up to their staff to set up a signature in their email software. While this might seem fine, how do you ensure that every email leaving your organization has a professional look and feel to it? Are the signatures boring without much detail? How do you control email signatures sent from mobile devices?
Research has shown that email signatures can be an effective marketing tool if used properly.
