Other times, these problems have come from self-inflicted origins. More often than not, this is a result of inadequate…

Our world is taking a new direction as we embrace the technology available today that grants us more convenience in our lives by cutting down clutter. No more pens. No more paper. No more bulky file cabinets, littered with records emblazed with hand written notes.

Today, personal records for anything and everything are stored on computers, making the pen and paper obsolete pieces in the retention of pertinent business information. This change is most prominent in the medical…

Most medical service providers have been gradually transitioning some of their…

It can be a bleak day for the CIO, CFO, or both, when he or she realizes that the business’s servers are getting beyond their capacity, and must soon be replaced.
