Business Phone Systems: Expansion Versus Replacement It’s not at all uncommon for businesses on the rise to quickly outgrow their existing phone systems. For those businesses that on the slow path toward growth, however, the point at which a new system seems eminent brings up a dilemma. Should they attempt to expand their existing system or take the plunge and purchase something new. Mastering the Job Market Through Postgraduate Studies Graduating with a bachelor degree is no simple feat, and many who do so feel they are ready for the job market. Mounting student loan debt and the desire to earn money often push graduates to find work immediately, with little consideration for their long term future. The Educational Path to Health Care Administration Health care administration is an often overlooked field that offers the same exceptional employment outlook that all healthcare related positions enjoy. The reason for its relatively unpopular status has more to do with the educational requirements of the field than anything. Many new students or working adults contemplating a move to the healthcare industry think of the immediate benefits of positions in nursing Postgraduate Degree Enrollment on the Rise As the number of bachelor degree graduates continues to rise, more and more students are looking for a way to differentiate themselves in the job market. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, greater numbers of students at the high school level are not only aspiring to a college education that encompasses a postgraduate degree or beyond, but following through as well. Is the Next Dot-Com Wave on the Horizon? The Dot-Com rise and fall of the mid to late 1990’s made multi-millionaires out of many and lost collective billions for many more. Resulting from the overvaluation of .com entities, investing (and eventual loss) was so drastic that it all but dwarfed the rise of the internet as a viable business platform for a few years. Can the Collegiate Lending System Right Itself? Government intervention in the college loan system has been a hot topic lately, and for good reason. A congressional investigation led by Andrew Cuomo (NY State Attorney General) performed late last year found several questionable practices tied to college lenders and universities. One of the main issues that surfaced was the prevalence of lenders offering kickbacks to colleges and universities for pushing them as a qualified or preferred lender. Picking a College Major If you’re like most people, choosing a college major can be extremely difficult. You want to find the right balance between something you like to do and something that can provide a solid financial future. Few people will ever welcome the onset of the workweek, but that doesn’t mean any job should be a nightmare. Likewise, jobs from “easy” majors rarely pay very much and often require another four years of college before they become marginally profitable in regard o the time spent on them. Emergency Phone Systems Important for Business Safety A popular commercial for Priceline.com, the discount airfare retailer that allows you to bid for airline tickets, shows Priceline Negotiator William Shatner receiving a phone call on the emergency line. Apparently someone needs help with the bidding process and Shatner is dispatched in a hurry to make sure the bidder shows the proper amount of chutzpah while trying to get the lowest fare. Document Scanning Helps Businesses Transition to All Digital Format It’s a foregone conclusion that we are living in a digital age, but even twenty years after computers were made available on the mass market, some businesses are slow to buy in to universally accepted methods for storing and transmitting data. Not that hard copy documentation doesn’t have its place in the business world, but as electronic data becomes more easily accessible, the necessity of paper documentation has come into question. Document Destruction Basics Not all document destruction services are created equal, and there are a multitude of horror stories from businesses across the country to prove that point. Document destruction, whether in house or through a third party provider, is the process of destroying hard copy materials. More often than not, the need to eliminate the existence of materials such as these has little to do with space management and much to do with keeping sensitive information out of the hands of those who might use it for less than honest purposes. Offsite Document Storage Becoming Popular in Metropolitan Areas As business leasing becomes an astronomical expense for companies who maintain a presence in major metropolitan cities across the U.S., the need for additional space has never been more apparent. With office space at a premium, storing documents at the same location where businesses is conducted can be pricey. OCR Scanning Reaches New Level of Reliability There was a time in the recent past when OCR scanning wasn’t exactly reliable. In fact, about the only thing you could rely on was the fact that optical character recognition technology would frequently would yield a margin of error greater than 15%. Thankfully, those days are over, and while not all OCR scanning services offer the latest technology, more and more are incorporating startling advances made available over the last few years. Lasers the New Frontier for Implant Dentistry It wasn’t long ago that the only option for dental implant surgery relied solely on skill and scalpel. While few would argue that the implant techniques used by dentistry professionals have yielded far more positive than negative results, precision has always been a point of contention. Unfortunately, when one is dealing with a small space no more than a few square millimeters, precision takes on a whole new level of importance. General Practitioner, Periodontist or Oral Surgeon: Which is Best for Implants? Dental patients who are faced with the often confusing task of deciding who they would like to perform implant surgery are in an unenviable position. Is a specialist more qualified or better equipped to handle the rigors of implant surgery or does the general practitioner with advanced knowledge of the patient’s problem represent the best chance for success? Training and Support Can Eliminate Common Complaints of Business Accounting Software Applications Business accounting software suites are a godsend on some levels, but with the capabilities inherent in most modern developments, the complexities can be overwhelming. One of the most often encountered problems centers around their unforgiving rigidity. If a data input error occurs at an early stage of report generation but remains undiscovered until later, simply correction and recalculation is rarely an option. Accounting Software Developers Aim to Offer Something for Everyone No two businesses are the same, and as one might expect, the accounting solutions that are ideal for one company may be overkill or insufficient for another. Not long ago, the difference between small business and enterprise level software was found only in the number of licenses purchased. Thankfully, things have changed for the better. Support, Training and the Architecture of Business Software Business software is big business, and although developers of the more popular titles might indicate that their offerings are user friendly, easily navigable and require only moderate use to gain familiarity, nothing could be further from the truth. While there’s no question that business software applications make doing business easier from end to end, the sheer complexity of most tiles affords little room for error on the part of the end users. Network Security a Neglected Issue for Most Businesses Almost everyone born in the last half century is familiar with the importance of network security, whether an online business owner or average Joe surfing the net. The occasional lapses in network security almost always make the news, though the extent of the damage is seldom fully understood. Business Accounting Software can Benefit from Training and Support Working as the only accountant at a wholesale foods distribution company, my job is seen as something of a mystery to even the people responsible for hiring me, much less my co-workers. Though accounting as a field is relatively cut and dry, the manipulation of data to produce reports, forecast profits and manage assets is a complicated endeavor Business Process Software Can be Counterproductive Without Training Unquestionably, business process software has worked wonders for companies of all sizes, from the smallest of mom and pop start ups to the largest of corporations. Within the last few years however, the sheer number of processes and applications that most industry leading business process software suites contain have made user friendly interfaces and intuitive order navigation impossible to implement. Does Fame make you Vain? For almost everyone, vanity starts at birth. It's a natural part of being treated as the center of your world by other family members. Most experts on infantile behavior acknowledge this. But after a few years, as the outside world becomes an increasing part of a child's experience, an unpleasant reality kicks in. Warehouse Management Software Makes Real Time Inventory Control A Reality One of the biggest problems associated with warehouse and distribution management stems from inventory control, or more specifically, the inability to accurately assess stock levels across multiple locations. The problem is as age old as robbing Peter to pay Paul, but in this case, it’s paying Paul without realizing that the payment was already allocated to Peter. Manufacturing Software Ups the Stakes Just as Material Requirements Planning software applications have given way to Enterprise Resource Planning Suites, the latest ERP incarnations are moving into new territory and giving manufacturers far more reasons to upgrade their systems. Re-examining the Child Tax Credit in the Context of Education For parents, the child tax credit is little more than a Band-Aid on a gaping wound when considered against the cost of raising a child. Still, it’s a welcome dressing that, during tax time or from paycheck to paycheck, eases some of the burden associated with childcare expenses. Still, with the child tax credit comes a level of unspoken responsibility to those taxpaying members of society who don’t have children. Runway Convictions: Why Models Should Be Above the Law From Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell, models like myself are the latest pseudo-celebrity niche to have our fair share of foibles with the law. Lest you thought being anorexic, attended to and walking were too little in the way of career pressure, I’m proud to say that our criminal activities have shown that we’re just as rotten as our celebrity counterparts on the stage and screen.
