SOLUTION....A Widely Used Word,
But A Reality At PANURGY!

Today, local businesses are faced with so many difficult challenges. Owners, managers and employees face challenges greater than ever before to maintain and continue business growth. One of the greatest challenges for small and mid-size business is technology. As you know, technology is responsible for your business data. But, did you know your data represents 80% of your assets? Yes, that's right…….EIGHTY PERCENT OF YOUR ASSETS! That's a huge consideration for your business's survival. If you don't pay attention to the technology side of your business you could get blindsided! What are business people thinking about?........

What's on the mind of employers…
Rising service fees, employee productivity, rising cost of employee benefits, competition, short term and long term growth.

Drowning in Data?
Tiered Storage Can Help You Stay Afloat
The statistics are overwhelming. Researchers predict that more data will be produced in the next year than has been generated during the entire existence of humankind.

Unfortunately, this onslaught means your company data may be growing out of control, and your staff could be struggling to manage ever-lengthening backup times.

To keep up, you may be like many who regularly add storage capacity to their servers and SANs. But eventually, you may become frustrated with this pricey and cumbersome habit --and the increasingly long backups it requires.

Or, you may seek relief by limiting your data and regularly deleting files -- or forcing your employees to do it themselves. But this habit can be risky and, in regulated industries, illegal.

It may be time for you to stop and consider the long-term cost of your growing data, and perhaps seek out a smarter solution that will help you balance your data growth and storage resources.

Getting Started with SharePoint

Did you know that Server 2003 and Business Server 2003 have SharePoint services? SharePoint is the foundation for a company portal. Do you remember when all files were saved in a filing cabinet instead of on your network? By getting started with Share Point your files no longer just reside in some folder in your network, but files are as easy to find or search for as using a search engine like Google.

Let us demonstrate our understanding of your business needs, not just your technology needs. By providing a central repository for documents and business intelligence, and customizing it to your exact business, we have transitioned from just storing documents to a more intellectual way of managing your information.

Should sensitive data be stored on laptops?
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Every month seems to bring another episode of sensitive personal information escaping into the wild because a corporate or government laptop computer is lost or stolen. A common response is a lot of hand-wringing over how the data should have been encrypted.

But some key questions usually go unanswered. Why is so much private data allowed to be on laptops to begin with? What do people do all day that compels them to tote around records on, say, 26 million Americans, the staggering number seen in the recent Veterans Affairs case?

"It's pure laziness. There's actually no excuse for it," said Avivah Litan, a security analyst for Gartner Inc. "There's no good business reason for it."

Litan advocates a few simple steps: Organizations should keep sensitive information only on secure, centralized servers. Workers can access the data from PCs in the office or over private Internet connections, but can't store the records on their own machines to fiddle with them offline.
