			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong id="internal-source-marker_0.1922132116742432">Most small to medium sized businesses today rely heavily on their data and IT infrastructure.  What would you do if you lost all your business data?  Without access to your data, do you really think your business is going to run as efficiently as it could and should?  It&#8217;s imperative to protect your unrecoverable business data and systems and make sure your company is safe and secure.  Luckily for you, when working with <a href="http://www.connections.com/connectcare-datasafe/" target="_blank">Connections for Business</a>, you&#8217;ll get that and more!&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Once upon a time &#8211; as most fairy tales begin &#8211; there was something called a standard work day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">The story goes that the day started at 9am with a cup of coffee in hand. Several hours later the</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">lunch bell rang and the whistle blew at 5pm to end the day, Of course, everyone lived happily ever</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">after until the new workday began 16 hours later.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Fast forward to 2012, and there is no longer such a concept of a “standard work day.” The</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">expectation is that having your data, e-mail and core business functions accessible from virtually</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">anywhere at virtually anytime makes the wall clock meaningless.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">As a ConnectCare customer, it is possible that you may need vital technical support outside the</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">typical workday hours. As a result, we offer core “After Hours” support to our clients. The basic</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">rule of thumb is support is provided for business essential servers and access both day and night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Should a key outage occur that affects multiple users, systems or access to systems, our After</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Hours support option is available.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Events that would be covered under “After Hours” support include:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">No one from your company can send or receive e-mail messages</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">All users are unable to access a remote hosted server</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A critical server is offline and inaccessible</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A power or Internet outage at your office requires systems to be taken offline or</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">requires systems to be brought back online</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Events that would NOT be covered under “After Hours” support:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A single user can not access the Internet or a hosted server from home or another location</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A staff member received a new phone, tablet, home desktop or laptop computer</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">and needs assistance configuring/installing the device</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A single user has home hardware/software equipment that is not performing properly</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">After Hours support services are available by contacting Connections for Business at (954) 920-9604 and selecting option 2.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">After following the telephone prompts, you will be connected with our Afer Hours call center. The call center will take your</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">contact information and pertinent information and communicate with our technical on-call staff. Our staff will contact you to</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">discuss the issue, provide a fix or work-around, and/or schedule a time during the next weekday to address the issue.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Hopefully, you will never experience a critical technical issue. However, it is reassuring to know that ConnectCare Network</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong id="internal-source-marker_0.3697136624250561">You may or may not be familiar with the term <a href="http://www.connections.com/connectcare-virtual-hosted-office/" target="_blank">hosted exchange</a> depending on how much time and energy you spend keeping up to date with the latest technology trends.  Therefore, you may or may not know what exactly is hosted office?</p>
<p>The term, hosted exchange, refers to a IT service whereby the provider makes an email inbox and space available on a server.  This enables their clients to host their data on the server while the provider manages the hosted data of the client on the server.  Clients are able to access their email, address book, documents, etc. from different places and through various media.  With hosted exchange and through push technology, emails are routed to a laptop or mobile phone.  So now that you&#8217;re well versed in hosted exchange, the next step is understanding what exactly is hosted office?  The good news is, it&#8217;s basically an extension of hosted exchange so if you&#8217;re able to comprehend that, you&#8217;re in a good place.</p>
<p>Here at Connections for Business, we&#8217;ve created ConnectCare Virtual Hosted Office which we believe is the easiest way for your business to access the necessary data and applications from anywhere at any time and under any type of condition.  Additionally, by using hosted office, your business will be able to maintain superior uptime and business continuity.</p>
<p>Still asking what exactly is hosted office?  When you work with us, we will put every single one of your compatible applications and data on a server platform located in our secure collocation facility.  Within this facility, we are able to provide redundant, fool proof hardware and managed backup not only Monday-Friday, but 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.</p>
<p>What are you waiting for?  <a href="http://www.connections.com/managed-it-contact/" target="_blank">Give us a call today </a>and we&#8217;ll be happy to further explain what exactly is hosted office as well as help you understand every other IT service we can provide to your business.  Whether you&#8217;re a small or medium sized company, have been around for years or a start-up – we offer cost effective solutions in South Florida and want to help you.</strong></div>
