Use Images that you have the Rights to use on your Blog or Website
In our previous blog Copyright Laws and your Business – are you on the Right Side? we started to talk about how businesses need to protect themselves from infringing on copyrights and having their copyrights infringed upon. This blog will concentrate on the content a business uses and the content they create on their websites, blogs, brochures and social media. The first thing that needs to be addressed are the graphics and photos that are used. The key to having a good website and blog is having images that help to convey the message and improve the optimization of the site and blog. We have all heard the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” But what some people fail to mention is that when you use a picture that is protected by copyright on your website or blog, the picture might only be worth three words – “cease and […]

Is your Organization ready for VoIP?
As we mentioned in our previous blog Technological Advances in VoIP, VoIP is evolving, and as it does your company has to consider when you are ready for VoIP and when will it suit your organizational needs. Voice over Internet Protocol communication is maturing. Just as high-speed Internet becomes cheap and ubiquitous, an increasing number of businesses are ditching conventional landlines and jumping to VoIP. Before you make that jump, you also need to make sure that you are 100% ready.

Attending Conventions and Trade Meetings is important for your Small Business
Just as we mentioned the importance of our Toronto office space senior staff Attending Conventions and Seminars to help us Serve you Better, it is also important for you as well to attend conventions and trade meetings with those in your industry or supply chain. In many instances, you do not need to be a member to attend a convention of a professional or trade association – you can request to be an observer so that you can learn more about the benefits of membership. Trade or professional membership in an industry association offers many benefits that keep business owner members on top of important, ever-changing issues, trends and government involvement within their market. Many people believe that one of the greatest benefits of being a member in an association is the business networking and camaraderie that goes on among members.

How much Data do you really need to back-up and how much is Duplicate Data?
Continuing with our series of blog entry’s about creating and implementing data storage and back-up plans, we thought we should also share some information about how you can reduce the amount of data that you need to back-up. In our last blog Have You Considered Hybrid Data Storage Solutions we discussed ways to cost effectively store your data while optimizing the speed at which you could use your data. So just how can you reduce the amount of data you are backing up? One way you can reduce the amount and size of the data you need to back up is by implementing data deduplication. Yes, that is not a commonly used word outside of IT circles, but it is one that you will hear more and more as you learn to manage your data. We actually first heard the term last year when a office for rent Toronto tenant asked us if we […]
Have you considered Hybrid Data Storage Solutions?
As we continue our blog series “Has Your Small Business Planned Your Data Storage and Backup Strategy?” that discusses the importance of small business to have a solid plan for their data storage and back-up needs, we wanted to focus this blog entry more on actual local storage of your business data. We want to share some advice on the technology that small businesses who have office space Toronto are looking at, to deploy their centralized data-storage needs that can store and protect their valuable information. There are three basic requirements when considering data storage – cost, capacity and speed of access. As well, there are different types of data-storage devices that help to meet different data-storage requirements. There are your basic hard drives that are available in various capacities and speeds and solid-state hard drives that do not have moving parts and are more akin to computer memory than […]
Cloud Servers as a Possible Data Storage and Back-up Solution
As mentioned in our last blog, this week we are going to explore the various types of data storage and help our blog followers as well as our office for rent Toronto clients to find the right solutions that work for their data. In this blog, we will be talking about the advantages and disadvantages of storing your data using a cloud server service. Even more than larger enterprises, small businesses need to concentrate on what they do best to survive and cannot afford the time to worry about losing their data or be without it for more than a few hours. This is why many small business owners choose to outsource their data storage and back-up to an online storage service so they do not have to worry about it. A few of our Toronto office space tenants use not only cloud solutions for their data storage and back-ups, but […]
Where Do You Business Network When You Work From Home?
In a recent blog about Balancing Work and Home Life When Working From Home, we discussed the need to be very careful to avoid distractions – such as household chores and television – when chosing to have a home office instead of an office space Toronto at a business centre. We also stressed the importance of taking regular scheduled breaks or even procrastination times. One of the suggestions we made was to try to schedule in a five or ten-minute break once every two hours by taking a walk outside of the home. In that same blog we made the suggestion about breaks and that another thing to use your break time was to check in on Facebook or or Twitter. We further suggested that you set a timer to let yourself know when your break is over. We suggested the timer so that you do not get allow the […]
Immigrant Entrepreneurs often look for office space Toronto at Business Centres
As we have been writing about entrepreneurs, senior entrepreneurs and then women senior entrepreneurs, we have also not mentioned another growing group of entrepreneurs that have office space for rent Toronto within our office business centre – immigrants. A great number of immigrants with unique skills make their way to Canada every year for a new opportunities and a chance of a better life, only to find that the skills they bring are sometimes not recognized or accepted here. Many are Doctors, Engineers, PhD’s and other highly educated people who find themselves with degrees that are not accepted in Canada. While many are forced to take low-paying jobs to survive while trying to acquire the necessary credentials, other are choosing to create their own jobs by starting a business. With limited funds and resources, immigrant entrepreneurs are finding that taking office space Toronto within an office business centre is the […]
How Heath Conscious is Your Office Space Toronto?
For years business owners and managers have know that having healthy and happy employees is important to their business. But they did not know how to encourage a healthy work life. While many businesses offer to help subsidize gym memberships and other physical activities outside of business hours, most do not have the tools or ideas about how to encourage healthy practices during working hours within their office space Toronto. Researchers have found that too many people are not getting out of their office even for a breath of fresh air. They are eating their breakfast and lunch at their desks as well. Sitting down to eat in the workplace is becoming more of a regular occasion for an increasing number of workers. What is also concerning is that the diets of many office space workers appear to be based around foods that are high in saturated fat, sugar and […]

Remembering A Good Password is The Next Challenge
Last week we blogged about creating a good password for your office space Toronto computer, as well as having a different stronger password for your various e-mails and online accounts. We showed that a strong password includes upper and lower case characters, numbers and punctuation marks like @#3$%^&!. The problem is remembering that good password without writing it down. This morning in the kitchen at our Toronto office space, a few people were talking around the water cooler and discussing tricks on how to create a strong password that is easy to remember. One idea was to make the password an easily remembered phase like “I like my coffee double double.” This, however, would not be a good password because it includes whole words and no numbers. Instead you could have “i-Llke-mi-C0ff33dbl dbl!” Another trick is to spell some words backwards. Instead of “I like my coffee double double” you could have “ilik-m-eeffoc […]
How to Make Your Office Space Toronto Password Stronger

A password might meet all the criteria above […]
Not Having To Go Into My Office Space Toronto
It is days like today that I am happy that I have the option of not having to go into my office space Toronto and instead work remotely from home. I woke up this morning to find my car buried in a snowbank and I did not have the energy to dig it out (too much Christmas leftovers last night). I had a great deal of work today and because I could not get my car out, I decided to work from home. All of my files are stored on my cloud server and if clients wanted to reach me at my Toronto office space, I gave the receptionist instructions to forward my calls to my cellphone. My clients hear the same friendly voice who always answers my calls. When she transfers the call, they believe that I am working at my downtown Toronto office space. This was working quite well until […]
