Dell Cuts Production, How Does This Affect You?

At the end of January 2013 computer maker Dell told the world that they would be cutting their hardware production, as the demand for laptops has surpassed desktops, making them a money-loser. What does this mean for Dell computer owners?

Well, first of all, there will be no change to any of the warranties already in-place. The company will have to replace and fix any problems with Dell Computers. But this will most certainly affect those that have desktop Dell computers, and those Dell laptop owners without a warranty.

Depending on the store you purchased your computer from, you may have some extra options and extended warranties that you could utilize, but you must remember that the big electronics stores know how this will affect computer owners as well, so be ready for a huge charge to warranty Dell computers. For many owners, this charge may be high enough to make the computer upside-down in its worth; these customers would be much better off, financially-speaking, simply purchasing a new computer.

If you have a Dell computer, do not want to extend your warranty, and do not have the means currently to replace your computer, the best thing for you to do is to have the computer maintained regularly by professionals, make them aware of the situation, and have them help to push the computer's life span to its limits. Parts-people.com are the Dell laptop experts, have been for many years, and plan to continue to service Dell computers into the future. Though this will be a big change in the computer industry, Parts People hope that they can make the transition into the future a smooth one.

Customer Care #1 For Customer Complaints

In a recent survey, customers of various businesses were asked what their #1 gripe was about dealing with those businesses. It is no surprise that the top answer was "Customer Care/Customer Service is terrible," or some variation of that. While outsourcing customer care providers is becoming a more and more popular business solution, the industry as a whole is growing and expanding at an incredible rate. The downside of this is that there are many companies that are trying to get into the business simply for the money, rather that a mission statement or philosophy. Therefore, offering terrible customer service, but at a cheap cost that in-turn raises profits.

Now more than ever, a business that is considering outsourcing their call centers or looking for quality supplier relationship management options, must take extra time and care to search out a third part company that is reliable and ethical, and will support your company and help your clients with all of their questions and needs. There are many respected companies out there that offer these services, but they are scattered in with all of the company that are less respectable. The key is to do your homework, find out about the potential company you are considering. Find out which clients that company has worked for in the past and currently, and look at customer reviews of the services.

There truly are outsourcing companies in the world that make a business run more efficiently, let customers experience a customer care environment, and still make a profit and expand your business -- if you make the right choice.

Security Concerns in the Office

In light of the recent Sand Hook Shootings that took place in Newtown, Connecticut, many have been voicing their concerns over the possibilities of more shootings taking place inside of schools and other educational facilities. While the concerns are sadly very real -- as we learned from the horrors that unfolded in Connecticut -- the dangers posed by workplace shootings are just as real, and consist of much higher numbers.

Workplace shootings severely outnumber the amount of shootings taking place in a school. This could be due to a number of different facts, including the fact that certain age minimums are in-place to prevent younger people from getting guns.

While the schools, and the States in the United States have their hands sort of bound on what steps they can take to protect against these dangers, businesses and company owners have plenty of security steps that they can take and put in place to protect the company and its employees. -- if only the company acts on the dangers, and actively seeks-out ways of prevention.

Beresford Co is a company that offers security solutions to its many clients around the world, in the form of security badges and property security designs.

While security badges and identification security does not seem like a big step toward extra security in the office building, its true effects have to be seen to believed. Once these security options are in-place, businesses begin to see a drastic reduction in incidents of every kind, including security issues raised from distributors, guests, and visiting customers and the public.

Network Storage Solutions For Your Business

More and more companies these days are taking notice of and taking advantage off some of the benefits of network storage server solutions. ISCSI storage solutions can offer benefits that are veritably limitless. Just a few of the options, ideas, and solutions include:

Storage

Using a network attached storage device is a great way to store all of your electronic information on one safe and secure server group. Classified or sensitive information can be kept on these servers where they can be accessed by employees and authorized users, but are held locked away from the public and from hackers who would attempt to thieve the information. This can also help with storage limitations of work computers and devices, giving many more gigabytes of storage at a much cheaper price.

Sharing

Using a set of portal computers (Desktop computers that are stripped down to the bare minimum of hardware and devices) to access the mainframe stored on a server. The benefit of this is that each one of the portal computers is simply a gateway to access the main computing power of the server clusters. This can greatly reduce the need for replacement parts or having to replace outdated computer hardware.
