Why wireless security?
When you have a wireless network, you need to make sure it's kept secure. An unencrypted network presents the potential for security breaches.
Wireless technologies that provide long-range connectivity can't be contained within an office. When you use a network that's not secure, hackers could potentially "capture" the information you're sending back and forth. This means passwords, records, and more.
Isn't my network already secure?
With some older wireless technologies, like Bluetooth, access is limited by physical proximity to the corporate network. However, wireless technologies that provide long-range connectivity, such as 802.11n, can't be contained within an office space. That means anyone within range of a non-secure network can gain access.
What happens if I don't secure my network?
It may seem harmless to offer your network's access to outside users, but it's more than just letting people surf the Internet for ...

PDF is a file format that allows text (including fonts) and images to be embedded into a non-editable document. This file format is great for documents that you do not want changed or that you want to make sure anyone can open.
There are multiple ways that you can convert your non-PDF documents (such as Word files and Excel spreadsheets) into PDFs.
Using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010
If you have Microsoft Office 2010, you can easily save documents as PDFs in Word, Excel, and other programs by going to File > Save As > Adobe PDF. (In Office 2007, you an also look for the Acrobat tab on the ribbon and click Create PDF.) Simply save the PDF with the name and location you want it to have and the PDF will generate.
Using CutePDF

The kind of office most of us are familiar with is a building with four walls and a roof that we probably drive to 40 or so hours each week, Monday through Friday. Today, many companies still maintain traditional offices, but the decision makers are also discovering that to compete in the current economy, employees must be able to do their jobs anywhere, anytime.
Microsoft recently commissioned a survey conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs among more than 4,500 information workers in 15 U.S. markets to better understand opinions and attitudes related to mobile and internal business technologies and capabilities. The survey results further underscore the growing requirement for mobile work solutions - more than half of respondents (57%) report that their company has a formal telework policy and more than three quarters of information workers (77%) say their company provides access to technology support for working remotely.
Working without wal ...

Can you imagine running your business without email? Probably not, and even if you can, you surely can't picture going back to those bygone days of telephone tag, snail mail, and scribbled notes left on colleagues' desks. Not to mention the frustration of trying to schedule meetings without access to your coworkers' calendars, or fumbling through a stack of business cards to find a client's phone number.
Whether you're contacting customers or suppliers, scheduling a staff meeting or tracking down a critical message, email has become the backbone of business communication. But a growing mountain of email has made it increasingly difficult for users to organize and manage their mailboxes and has turned up the heat on IT to protect and maintain critical business communications. Now is a good time to ask yourself: Has your email solution kept up with demands for larger mailboxes and easy access for mobile workers? Does it provide the security, reliabil ...
