Business Continuity Tip
Testing Your Recovery Plan
Testing your recovery plan is the best way to ensure that your organization will
remain operational, no matter what. And the surprising part? Testing doesn't have
to be expensive or time consuming.
One popular and cost-effective way to get started is with a table top exercise.
This approach is efficient and focuses on your people and the tasks they will perform
during a recovery.
We encourage you to make the pledge to test your plan. Through testing, you can
reduce both recovery time and potential unknowns, ultimately protecting your business
and the employees and customers who rely on you.
Clients who have their backup managed by Databranch do
not have to worry about testing their recovery plan
because we test it for you.

Skype for Business is
Here -- And
This is Only the Beginning
used with permission
from Microsoft Office Blogs by Zig Serafin
Enabling people to connect with one another is central to
Microsoft's mission to reinvent productivity and help people
make the most of every moment. For us, connecting people means
delivering experiences capable of conveying all forms of human
expression--verbal, written, visual and emotional. In today's
modern workplace, productivity will increasingly be centered
on conversations, whether in writing, in person, via phone or
video conference call. People need communications tools that
allow them to express themselves in the most natural and approachable
way possible, and that work the way they do--fluidly across locations
and devices.

Changes in Technology Can
Present Opportunity for Small & Mid-Size Business
used with permission
from the Microsoft SMB Blog Cindy Bates
Thanks to new technology, it's an exciting time for small
and mid-size businesses. That's because many are finding that
increased access to new technology - such as cloud and mobile
solutions - can provide access to services that were never within
their reach before, helping them grow and be more productive.
They are also finding that using old or outdated technology
can hinder a company's ability to do business in a number of
ways - from security risks and compliance issues to not being
able to implement even modest changes or updates in software,
all of which can significantly hamper a company's ability to
be successful and competitive.

3 Tips for
Using a Tablet
to Be Productive Everywhere in the Office
used with permission
from Microsoft at Work
Although many of us have laptops and other mobile devices,
or can log in to work from a home desktop, we overwhelmingly
spend most of our time in the office. That doesn't mean, however,
that we spend all of our time at our desks. In fact, middle
managers and executives spend between 35 percent and 50 percent
of their time away from their desks and in meetings. We don't
usually think of being "mobile" in the office, but that's what
is happening when we're out of our chairs. So the question is,
how do we improve our in-office productivity while in meetings
or moving between them?
