I attended the Technology Marketing Toolkit Boot Camp in March 2011 produced by Robin Robins. There, I had the opportunity to attend a powerful and inspirational seminar by Sean Stephenson. He graciously sat for an interview the next morning to share with my viewers.

Expected to die at birth, Sean Stephenson has faced an army of reasons to give up and countless opportunities to embrace pity. He suffered more than 200 bone fractures by age 18, reached a height of only 3 feet, and is permanently confined to a wheelchair. However, this man took a STAND for a quality of life that has inspired millions of people around the world, including Tony Robbins and President Clinton.

I know you will find his message powerful and on point. I hope you share it with your entire team.

 The Master of Disaster and Rocco visit Cooper Properties

Since they tore down The Cubicle of Doom to make room for our expanded ConnectCare Response Center, Rocco and The Master of Disaster have been homeless. We put out the call to our vendors and clients for help and the response has been amazing. We have been getting invitations to visit their offices to shoot our blog and highlight their companies.

Rocco and I had the chance this past week to sit down with Caldwell Cooper of Cooper Properties. Cooper Properties is a landmark in South Florida providing a full range of rental apartments in Fort Lauderdale. Cooper uses the Virtual Hosted Office Cloud Computing solution from Connections for Business. With the Virtual Hosted Office, he can be on the road visiting his properties while staying on top of the business. He is also ready for any disaster year round and the Virtual Hosted Office is housed in a secure collocation bunker.

With the complexity, costs and problems associated with installing a mail server, many businesses are now opting for “Hosted Exchange” in the cloud rather than bringing the server in-house. What are “cloud”-based or “hosted” services? Think of them like a gym membership. Instead of purchasing your own home gym equipment, which can be expensive, require maintenance and take up a lot of space, you can pay a small monthly fee to go to the gym and use a multi-million-dollar facility that is kept and maintained by someone else.

 Hosted Exchange works the same way. Instead of incurring the costs and hassle of building and maintaining your own mail server, you can pay a low monthly fee and get top-of-the-line services, storage and security for your e-mail. Plus, you get the following benefits:

• Being able to access your e-mail remotely from any device
• More uptime and fewer issues
• E-mail archiving (storing of old e-mails)
• Spam filtering and anti-virus included
• 24/7/365 support
• Unlimited storage
• Easy synchronization with mobile devices

 Want to find out how Hosted Exchange can save you a lot of money and solve your storage and archiving problems? Give us a call at 954-920-9604.

Think about this: what would happen to your company if it suddenly lost all of its IT information due to a fire, system meltdown or flood?  The amount of time and money it would take to restore that data on your own is incomprehensible.  And that’s if the data can even be recovered!

Are you still relying on old, undependable tape drives to back up your protection?  Or are you simply attempting to manage everything on your own?  Connections for Business can handle it for you.  Let’s us manage your data protection in West Palm Beach.

With online video becoming a hot trend and an effective way of engaging visitors with your web site, you might be wondering how you can quickly and inexpensively create your own web videos. Or maybe you want to create a video tutorial to train employees how to perform a certain process or task without having to repeat the training over and over again. Or perhaps you want to create welcome videos and tutorials for new customers. All these are possible using Camtasia Studio.

Since the software comes in versions for Windows and Mac users, anyone can create professional-looking videos. The cost is $300; compared to hiring someone to do this for you, it’s a steal. There is a bit of a learning curve, but TechSmith (the makers of Camtasia Studio) offer several web videos to assist you. TechSmith also offers a 30-day trial so you can see if you like it before you commit to buying.

Take a look at some of the great video’s our own Master of Disaster has created!

The Master of Disaster visits Action Coach at the famous Biltmore Hotel

Since they tore down The Cubicle of Doom to make room for our expanded ConnectCare Response Center, Rocco and The Master of Disaster have been homeless. We put out the call to our vendors and clients for help and the response has been amazing. We have been getting invitations to visit their offices to shoot our blog and highlight their companies.

I jumped at the chance to shoot an interview with Jody Johnson of Action Coach, the world’s number one business coaching firm. Jody shares her insights and strategies for helping her clients thrive even in this challenging economy. So, if you are interested in repeatable success, team building and making 2011 the best year yet for your organization, this two part series is for you!

This was shot at the beautiful, historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. Jody had so much great information to share with my viewer, I had to break it into two parts. Be sure to catch both.
