By Jacqueline Hoffmann, Mvix Business settings are often the first to enjoy new tech developments, thanks to the constant need to drive revenue and the desire to stay ahead of competitors. Other industries, such as education, usually end up on the opposite of the adoption curve. Tech implementation in classrooms often happens after technologies are rightfully considered “new” and after their initial price drops. Despite the differences in adoption rates between business and education, there’s no denying that technology for business and technology in the classroom have several interesting parallels in the way they are integrated and used.

Admiral Security Services was pleased to sponsor Breakfast with Arlington County Police Chief M. Jay Farr, which was attended by more than 100 local and federal government, law enforcement, and business leaders. Chief Farr described his strategic initiatives as being transportation safety, crime prevention control, and community engagement. He particularly emphasized the need and desire to expand partnerships with the business community, and we, at Admiral, support that goal. By Indy Zakaryte, Supporting Strategies
In managing your small business, you're always looking for ways to boost efficiency, reduce costs, increase profitability and improve performance. The right software solutions can allow you to do all of that and more. At Supporting Strategies, we often steer clients toward software and other technology solutions that help them run their business better. Here are eight examples. By Carl Lander, C3 Financial Services Did you know that 78 percent of people live paycheck-to-paycheck? That’s the statistic from a recent USA Today article. That means most of the people have too much month left at the end of their money. If you’re tired of being stressed out about money, you don’t have to be. You can get control and win with your money – you just need a plan! How many times have you thought, “I make too much to be in the financial position I am in?” By J. Clemonts Junior, Owner, Technificent Solutions LLC Frasier Crane once said, "As humans we have the tendency to freeze people in the moments that are most comfortable for us." Anybody that's a parent can tell you that's true. My goddaughter will forever be that little "peanut girl" I remember from her infancy. My mother will always be that young (and slightly immature) woman that I remember from my youth. And in my own mind, my friends and I will never have to warm up or cool down before we exercise. Support Local Women Entrepreneurs for Women’s Small Business Month and Small Business Saturday11/2/2017 By Karen Bate, Awesome Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) and KB Concepts P.R. October was Women’s Small Business Month, and this month we’ll celebrate Small Business Saturday on November 25. As founder and chief inspiration officer for Awesome Women Entrepreneurs (AWE), I applaud these special opportunities to support local small business owners – and women-owned businesses, in particular. According to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), women own more than 9.4 million businesses in the U.S., employing nearly 7.9 million people and generating $1.5 trillion in sales as of 2015. That’s 31% of all privately held firms, 14% of employment and 12% of revenues. By Linley Beckbridge, Doorways for Women and Families October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Some may wonder: Is awareness enough? As #MeToo—created 10 years ago by Tarana Burke—experiences a viral resurgence following other hashtags like #YesAllWomen and #WhyIStayed, what happens beyond the social media trend? What can awareness do? Consider this: If someone in your life were experiencing abuse, would they know where to go for help? Do you think they’d feel safe coming to you to talk about it? By Doug Taylor, Bean, Kinney & Korman Web technology has made it possible for individuals to shop virtually for goods and services from anywhere, at any time. In 2016, for the first time ever, more consumers were shopping online than in stores, according to Forbes. E-commerce retail sales numbers are staggeringly large, adding up to $111.5 billion for the second quarter of 2017, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By J. Clemonts Junior, Owner, Technificent Solutions LLC October is National Cybersecurity Awareness month. Many business owners feel as though they do not have “a stake in that fight” and simply shrug it off. But if you’re reading this, then that means that you’re not the average business owner. I hope that I’m right, because with modern business depending on IT and its security, business owners can no longer afford to be passive about their IT infrastructure. Many business owners I talk to about IT tell me that they’re “too small” or “too unimportant” to be a victim of a cyber-crime. “Hackers have better targets than my business,” they reason, so they neglect any security for their business at all. This is akin to ignoring your tax and credit card debt and believing that they will go away on their own. |
