We take the time to “walk in your shoes”, so that projects are proactively evaluated in detail, eliminating costly surprises.

READY. AIM. FIRE.

Technology helps long-distance lovers on Valentine's DayNot as alarming and new as the headline would infer but it works well as a reminder. Ransomware/CryptoMalware is a very real and debilitating business disease! You're only as safe as your employee's knowledge base so make sure to educate them regularly and follow the basic rules:
•Always download the latest security updates (test though if you're an admin). Make it a habit.
•Back up your data regularly and offsite.
•Limit the access to your file folders. This helps a lot if the malware does make it into your network.
•Never open unknown links on your browser or email. The timeless reminder!
•Be cyber-aware. There's no harm in educating yourself with cybersecurity tips and tricks.

Here’s how to protect your business’ files and systems from this high-impact security threat.How's your 404 page? If you're not the web guy...a 404 page is the place where all your website users get dumped if they mistype a webpage name (url), or your website doesn't have the page the user is looking for. It will get a lot of hits, so shouldn't it be used for marketing, or at least a whimsical purpose?
Don't miss an opportunity to share something, or at least have some fun! Here's our 404, enjoy!

We've just encountered an Adobe grey area marketing ploy first hand. We had purchased a font subscription from typekit.com in 2018 ($45). Recently we have been receiving emails from Adobe stating that our subscription to AdobeXD needed renewing ($119). After exhaustive inquiries we discovered that Adobe has decided to not allow font subscriptions. Instead they want you to subscribe to an Adobe product and then get "free" access to the font. Someone in Adobe land then attached us to the AdobeXD product for some unknown reason. We do not mind that they made a business change, rather it is the backhanded way Adobe tried to get us to pay extra for something we do not use and pretending that we already owned the product up for renewal. Not cool. #adobe #deceptivemarketing
Recent client work has reminded us to remind you of the fact that there are only two kinds of people in this world: Those who have lost data and those who are about to! If your company has not done so yet, perform a risk assessment, build a disaster recovery plan and test it. If you need help, let us know.
