I just learned that eRecording is now used for county recording in over 250 counties across the United States. Here is a complete list as of January 2007 of the counties using eRecording, if you’re interested. You can also keep up-to-date with the recent eRecording news as it becomes available.
In regards to the Avaya 5420 I got a month or two ago (see the post), my office recently upgraded to the Avaya IP 500, complete with all the bells and whistles (the reason I got the phone in the first place). Now, like I have disclosed before, I am anything but technologically adept. I just know that not only does it make all our business communication much easier, efficient, and quicker, it’s perfect for our growing business.
Students should look for specialized training programs outside of conventional colleges and universities, such as Get A Mentor, an apprentice-mentor association that connects students with professionals in a given field. They offer radio, film, sound engineering, and broadcasting internships.
The program enables students to get the education necessary for the career they want without having to attend college. The professional (known as the mentor) personally educates the student, providing arranged “learning experiences” as well as training through course manual work to augment the hands on learning.
What makes Get A Mentor different is the training is individualized, flexible, and much more affordable than traditional universities. Applicants can range in age anywhere from 16 to 69, and there is only a one time fee of $6,000 (much cheaper than college!). Half of the money goes to the mentor for their time and effort and the other half is used to cover the advertising and administrative costs of Get A Mentor.
Are you tired of searching for the most up-to-date documents after sending them to colleagues? It can be difficult to keep track of documents during the process of email and saving it on your hard drive or removable media. Most documents are saved on local desktops, putting the company at risk.
If you want an easier record management system, it is finally here. New software helps you manage your documents easily and uphold your company document retention policy. What will they think of next?
Conventional on hold messages and recordings can overbear, bother, and annoy customers (or worse, prospective customers). Creative hold music and recordings that are customized for your company allows you to nonchalantly discuss your product or services without coming across as invasive or aggressive. Customers can be educated about your company’s products and services during that valuable, ample time they spend on hold. What’s not to love about that?
We’re assuming that all omega scientific readers followed our advice and diligently purchased an ethernet to GPIB converter for their loved ones for Valentine’s Day.
Well, it may seem a ways off, but the holiday season is fast approaching and, as always, we are happy to help you find that special something for that special someone.
She probably loves the convenience of the GPIB converter she’s been using since February - she can remotely adminster GPIB devices over the internet or your local area network. You’ve probably noticed, however, that she never seems quite satisfied with a little bit of packet loss when controlling a local GPIB device.
We shan’t disappoint - make all of her wildest dreams come true with a USB to GPIB. In fact, try giving the gift one day early (the 24′th) and see if she gets the obvious tie-in of giving her a christmas eve present with a 24-pin GPIB output.
Don’t get caught giving her inferior technology that will leave her asking herself, “does he really know me anymore.”
Students have switched favor from desktop computers to laptops for convenience and the ability to take it all over campus. Yet, its convenient mobility may be a double edged sword, as it allows a greater possibility for theft.
According to the FBI, the number of laptops stolen in the United States is second only to car theft. Imagine spending hours collecting music, uploading photos and writing term papers on which your grade hinges only to have your laptop stolen from your dorm room. All your priceless photos, thousands of MP3 files, and critical papers would be forever lost. Or would they?
More and more students are quickly learning the advantages of using remote online backup. And students are not the only ones catching on; online backup is advantageous for any personal or business computer that holds valuable documents and files. Just as losing a research paper towards the end of the semester with a deadline looming can add substantial stress to the life of a student and destroy their sense of well-being, losing important client data and financial records could mean financial ruin for some businesses.
Online backup is also cost-effective and less time-consuming than other forms of backup. CD’s are just as susceptible to damage and deterioration as a computer and zip drives can be expensive initially and have limited space. Not to mention the turn around time; most online back up companies can recover your data quickly, so you don’t miss a beat.
So I was reading an e-recording post from a couple months back when it dawned on me the reason that electronic document recording benefits everyone. Now that mortgage documents, property records, and other related forms can be sent electronically, imagine how it streamlines and expedites the entire mortgage and financial industry. Such a positive effect trickles right down to homeowners and other individuals who are in limbo until the documents are submitted and received by the county records office.
And, much to the satisfaction of tree huggers and “green” individuals, it cuts down on paper waste. It’s a win-win situation, right?
Have you ever been inside a radio station? Or a recording studio? I have a good friend who invited me to a local station where he is completing a radio internship. Talk about “fun toys.” Despite being (extremely) technologically inept (especially compared to my very adept counterparts on this blog), even I could appreciate the advanced technology and equipment even a small local station such as this was able to utilize. Which got me thinking…maybe I should do a radio internship…how cool would that be?
So I have to take just a quick minute to rave about my new office phone. I know, I know…an office phone? Sounds lame. But if you had this phone, you would know what I am talking about.
The Avaya 5420 is making my life so much easier, and not for any big special reason. No, it’s the soft, programmable buttons and crystal clear speakerphone. When you are on the phone with clients as much as I am, it’s nice to have a great speakerphone so you can multi-task. Most of the time, they don’t even realize I am on speakerphone. And the personalized ring patterns are great; have you ever had the same ring as someone else? Beyond annoying…so check out the Avaya 5420 phone…If you’re a business woman (or man) like me, I’m willing to bet you like it just as much as me.
