High winds and heavy snow have been causing power outages and downed telco lines, which can spell disaster for many businesses in New England.

On Tuesday, January 26th, our technical support offices in Fall River, Massachusetts will be closed due to severe weather conditions caused by the upcoming blizzard. Our Network Operations Center will remain staffed. Due to forecasted high winds and a large volume of snow, certain services (particularly those reliant on telephone lines) may be impacted.

One of the most common issues our Support team faces is compromised customer passwords. These passwords are usually for their email accounts, but can also be compromised website administrative passwords as well.

Recently we’ve been contacted by a number of businesses who are either moving locations, or are opening up new branches. Summer time is one of the best times to move, given that a rainstorm certainly won’t cause as much havoc as a blizzard will in mid-winter! While we’ve all gotten used to the fact that the Internet is pretty much Continue Reading...
Thanks to the Internet and eCommerce, just about any company can now be open for business 24×7. Online shopping has been growing steadily, with recent research showing over 65% of consumers looking to shop online during the holiday season. Those people who are shopping online are also increasingly doing so with their smartphones and tablets as well. Businesses who want Continue Reading...
We’ve written about telecommuting and specific productivity tools a few times on our blog. Studies have shown that giving employees the ability to telecommute has helped reduce company costs as well as improve workplace morale. In fact, a Deloitte study showed that telecommuting did all that in addition to helping reduce greenhouse emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Over the Continue Reading...
Internet access has come a long way in just the past 15 years. Companies have a wide range of Internet access options to choose from, based on their network needs and budget, unlike “the good old days” when just about everyone was using dialup access. Businesses have gone from seeing the Internet as a potentially useful tool to considering it Continue Reading...
