Cell Phones Have Evolved but Are You Still Operating Yours Like It’s the Dark Ages?

September 26, 2011 – 9:17 am

Not all that long ago, a cellular phone was anything but portable, cost thousands of dollars to buy, and a small fortune to operate. We’ve come a long way since 1983, baby.

Mobile phones can do more than ever. They can take pictures and video, play music, get you onto the internet where you can do an almost unlimited number of things, and more. You can video chat with people. You can bump and share information. You can control appliances and electronics in your home with your phone. Your phone is becoming a virtual wallet and mobile phones have changed productivity and connectivity forever, helping people get un-chained from their cubicle. And new advances are released on an ongoing basis.

Personal and Professional Mobile Evolution

Whether you’re a student, a mobile worker,  or an executive your cell phone is a highly effective link to your office and your staff. And the features will continue to be developed as time goes on. In 1993 the world of mobile phones started to truly evolve and attempt to help you with your productivity. It was a novel idea. Today, not only can you organize your schedule with your smartphone but you can truly collaborate with others — provided you’re actively syncing.

Today, mobile phones are fashionable, functional, and they complement both your personal life and your business life.  The ability to get and stay connected with people is priceless. But many business people aren’t using them to their full potential.  GetSync’d, a Kerio preferred partner, offers Kerio Connect, which will dramatically improve your productivity. Many of Kerio Connect’s features can help you get more out of the business productivity side of your phone and many of these features translate to personal productivity as well.

It works well in the server room, in the cloud, and in the field….

  • Email push and active syncing features of GetSync’d Kerio Connect means you’re not missing important messages. Cross platform collaboration is essential in the 21st century and Kerio Connect doesn’t discriminate based on operating system and mobile phone type(Blackberry, iPhone, etc, etc)
  • Calendar syncing ensures your calendar is accessible and up to date for you and anyone else you’re collaborating with, saving time and frustration.
  • Security is vital. You can take advantage of Remote Smart Wipe. Protecting your information in the event of a lost or stolen smartphone.
  • GetSecure (and stay that way!). GetSecure helps you stay safe in terms of viruses and other malware.
  • Backup and archiving features streamline your digital life.
  • And so on…Kerio Connect makes a big difference to your mobile productivity.

As the world of smartphones continually broadens you’ll have great opportunities to make your life easier. Many people aren’t getting all they can out of their cell phone, though. A lot of people don’t use many of their phones features all that effectively.

Your Email – Connectivity Equals Productivity

April 27, 2011 – 7:55 pm

If you’re someone who lives and breathes by your email, you know how important connectivity and synchronization are, especially when you work from multiple locations and utilize calendar sharing and sharing of contacts.

Without connectivity and synchronization, you’re not going to be as productive as you could be otherwise and if you’re like many who feel like email is a mission critical application, lack of sync’ing leaves you feeling almost like a fish out of water.

What’s happening? Are you missing something important?  Has that meeting been rescheduled or moved to another location? Have you remembered to sync everything so that you know the info you put in your calendar or contacts is the most up to date info you have? The right solution can keep you attached to your email and collaboration tools and can help you be better able to quickly react to anything that comes your way.

Whether it’s your laptop that you’re plugging in or your smartphone that you’re using as a lifeline to your business or job, productivity is vital. Connectivity equals productivity. That’s why you need to “GetSync’d” with Kerio Connect.

Kerio Connect offers  hosted email with cross platform collaboration features that lets you connect and utilize push technology with your email, your calendar, and your contacts — wherever you are. It works well regardless of the technology you’re using and offers GetSecure security features, the ability to do email archiving, and plenty of features and benefits that make it an excellent alternative to MS Exchange.

If you need to get and stay sync’d while on the go, it makes sense to use technology that does that for you.  And more companies than ever are opting for hosted email that uses cloud computing – saving time, money, and IT resources.

Want to get and stay productive? Check out Kerio Connect from GetSync’d. GetSync’d is a preferred Kerio partner and offers excellent service and support.

Hosted Email – Helping Email Hoarders Everywhere

April 20, 2011 – 11:01 am

How much space do you need for your email? Are you a deleter or an archiver? Do you have the ability to call up emails from 1996 in a split second? Do you feel the need to do this regularly? Companies have long had to manage space for their users and space limitations don’t have to limit your email hoarding activities. Have you, as an email user, ever had to start doing mass deletes so you could send a message? It’s not fun, especially if you have trouble deciding which ones can go and which ones should probably stay.

Is being an email hoarder bad?

Sure, it’s probably not healthy being a hoarder in multiple areas of your life but in terms of your business email, being an e-mail hoarder isn’t really all that bad.

Electronic email hoarding is much easier than paper hoarding on the eyes and the office space and it’s much nicer to the trees but managing endless amounts of data isn’t always easy for a company and that’s why so many now look at cloud computing options for email storage.

Cloud based hosted email could help you effectively manage the storage of your electronic messages so that you achieve your goals with respect to any record keeping and compliance issues as well as satisfy the email hoarders in your organization who feel the need to keep every message they ever send or receive.

Being able to go back and find an old message could help you:

-Prove something (to yourself or to someone else)
-Save time on research
-Manage client relationships
-Be compliant. In some industries there are archiving laws. You have to not only save emails but save them securely and be able to access them if asked to do so.

Electronic mail hoarders tend to file and archive emails, rather than deleting them. Take away their ability to save emails electronically because of low storage limits and they’ll probably start printing them (digital storage is cheaper than office space!).

They know that they may need to refer back to an old email in the future. Sure, some of them save emails that aren’t probably all that necessary but if your company has the ability to utilize scalable and affordable storage, doesn’t that make sense?

The Problem with Unlimited Email Storage

If you have a traditional email server, it’s not easy to manage an endless array of emails. If you’re an IT person, you’ve also undoubtedly had instances where users have asked about recovering deleted emails or accessing old records from several years ago. The right hosted email solution can make a big difference.

GetSync’d offers Kerio Connect, an affordable hosted email solution that lets you focus on your business instead of on email storage, archiving, Exchange server administration, and other issues that you don’t have time for. Check us out at http://www.getsyncd.com.
