How Sync’d Is Your Day?

April 18, 2011 – 8:56 am

Is your day always sync’d or are you often behind in terms of technology updates? The right tools can make a difference to productivity for you and other people in your organization.

Getting sync’d and staying that way is important if you work while on the go. Getting your email sync’d, your contacts, and your calendar all synchronized and keeping them that way makes a big impact on how productive you are while you’re on the go.  Kerio Connect, a mail and groupware server solutionthat you can purchase through GetSync’d can help you get and stay synced with robust push technology that does more than just push your email at your smartphone.

Get Sync’d on the Go

Who has the time to get synced a dozen times a day? Most people don’t have the time to stop and do that. Various programs have varying requirements for synchronization as well.  Have you ever been on your way to a meeting and details have changed by the time you got there? Only, your systems weren’t synced so you had no idea until you  were late, went to the wrong place, or wasted time and energy. If you often work remotely from other colleagues, you could probably benefit from having cross platform collaboration with real time updates to changes in calendar, contacts, and email. Beyond worrying about your own calendar, if you make changes, do you know that your remote staff members are getting the info they need? The right collaborative email, calendar, and contact tools can help everyone in an organization work in sync toward common goals — productivity and profitability!

Push Technology  – More than Email Pushing

Push technology can do more than push your emails to you. With Kerio Connect, it can also push changes to your contacts and to your calendar as well as allow you to push those things to people in your network, regardless of whether you have the same laptop, desktop, or smartphone or not.

GetSync’d – Hosted Kerio Connect

GetSync’d is a preferred Hosted Kerio partner. Kerio Connect, a well-known alternative to MS Exchange offers a robust email solution and enables people to collaborate regardless of location.  This solution is said by many to be the best hosted email solution available.  Another benefit of this solution is that you can have your email hosted on a cloud. This is increasingly popular as companies look for ways to trim the IT budget.  Interested in trying it out? Check out Hosted Kerio free trial or buy Kerio Connect.

Malware, Spyware, and Viruses, Oh My! Should You Open that Email?

April 6, 2011 – 2:33 pm

It happens all the time….people get their networks infected with viruses, spyware, malware, and so on. It happens to individuals and it happens to companies. When it happens to anyone it can hamper productivity but when it happens to a company, it can be crippling.

But how do you know how it’s getting in? How do you stop this from happening?  Should you be more skeptical about opening or not opening emails? Will it even help?

Parasitic “stuff” (viruses, Trojan horses, bloatware, malware, and so on) will latch on to all sorts of emails and downloads. This makes it hard to protect your company and your reputation. Whether your staff is sharing jokes, whether your customers and / or vendors are sending infected emails in, or whether it’s YOU who is the culprit for leaving a door open to hackers and bad guys, infecting your network and the networks of the people you’re sending emails to — stuff happens. You can’t always predict which emails will be the ones causing the problems and those  emails could be opened at work, at home, or through mobile computing.

Isn’t being proactive a whole lot more productive than being paranoid?

Today there are email options that could help protect you and help you get secure and stay that way.  Security is vital and if you utilize the right solution, you won’t have to think about security all that much because it’ll be built in and work in the background at all times. Whether you open an email at work, at your home office, or from your iPhone or Blackberry, you should feel safe in that you’ve got layers of security built in.  This will apply to downloads as well.

Hosted Email & Security

More companies than ever are electing to go with a hosted email solution that includes hosting your email on a secure cloud and offering extras such as antivirus and anti-spam features. Being able to access emails from the office, the home office, or via a mobile device and knowing that you’re secure can help you focus on business rather than on fighting viruses and spam. Instead of being afraid about which emails you open, maybe it’s time to think about upgrading to an email solution that makes it easier than ever to securely communicate.

GetSync’d offers Hosted Email from Kerio — Kerio Connect. Host your email on a secure cloud and get a free subscription to GetSecure — which will protect you from spam, viruses, and malware.

Finding the Right Hosted Email Option

March 8, 2011 – 7:10 am

Are you in search of a Hosted email option that’s an alternative to MS Exchange and the high costs associated with managing your own email server? If so, here are some tips to help you find one:

Hosted Email Tips

Hosted Email Reviews:

Find a company that’s listed as a good alternative to Microsoft Exchange. You’ll want to check out hosted email reviews, for example, as you can get a feel for which brands are listed by users as being a good option.

Security:

Make sure you look at security options. Leaving yourself exposed to hackers, bloatware, and malware isn’t something you’ll want to do. Look for an email option that will provide you with the security you need. Get secure on email and you’ll dramatically reduce the instance of problems with your computer as that’s where the vast majority of problems get through.

Cloud Computing:

Look for a reliable cloud computing provider. Find out a bit about the technical set up of the companies you are thinking about dealing with so that you’re assured that you won’t be dealing with a lot of down time or technical problems that the email provider isn’t prepared for.

Cross Platform Interoperability:

Is collaboration important to you? You’ll want to make sure you can access email on your Apple smart phone, that your partner can access it on their Blackberry or Windows smart phone, and that if you have a windows based or Linux based PC that it will have the same functionality as your partner’s MAC laptop.

Active Syncing:

Are you someone who does a lot of work on the go? Perhaps you’ll want to find an email solution that helps you get sync’d and stay sync’d while you are on the go. Being able to sync up with mail, calendar, contacts, etc could make cloud based email hosted email a good option for you.

Subscription Costs:

You’ll want to compare the cost of running MS Exchange versus having hosted email on a cloud. You’ll want to look at subscription costs between a few cloud based email providers as well. The lowest priced isn’t necessarily the best and by the same token, the most expensive solution probably isnt’ the best either.

Why not take a test drive of a few options to see which one most closely meets your needs. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a small business, or a larger company, email is a vital part of your communications so choosing the right MS Exchange alternative is going to be of paramount importance.
