The process of hiring an employee is an investment requiring a considerable amount of time. … which equals money. ... and sometimes literal funds. Depending on the source, researchers claim it costs anywhere from $4,000 to $7,600 to hire a new employee (ouch!). This...

Based on its rate of growth, the management at a large internet service provider (let’s call them … Definity) thinks they’ll need a certain amount of the latest wireless modems for their customers. Definity orders that amount (plus a few extra just in case) from a...

When it comes to managing your technology, all businesses have to make the decision to hire their own team to handle it or outsource it to a company providing IT services. In order to decide, most of them evaluate the level of service and convenience of having IT...

Here we go … another post about how COVID is changing the way we do things. (Have college kids turned this into a drinking game yet?) Even the way we manage our IT assets (ITAM) needs to evolve thanks to everyone’s rush to complete their digital transformations. Many...

In a previous post, I shared with you how, when it comes to hardware, secondary is often better than the first. Once you realize I’m right and you decide to purchase from a vendor in the secondary market (I jest, but really, secondary is lit!), there are a few...

As COVID-19 ushered in the need to be digitally connected, businesses jumped on the digital transformation bandwagon. How their transformations are going … that’s another story altogether!  How successful or how speedily a business is able to transform is highly...

Is it just me or is this a weird time of year? A time simultaneously filled with nostalgia and reflection paired with hopes and predictions for what’s to come. It’s the holiday equivalent of the last three months of high school where suddenly everyone gets along and...

When it comes to tech talk, there don’t seem to be many conversations these days that don’t revolve around the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or its impact. From the broad world of digital transformation to the more focused threads IoTand human...

The world of IT is ever-changing—and by that I mean will it ever make up its mind as to what trend comes next? For instance, just a few short years ago everything was about the fear of moving to the cloud. Then, a few short years (if not months) after that trend, came...

The data center environment for most companies as it stands in 2018 is in an interesting state of flux: the need for new equipment is on the rise (especially in the optical networking space) due to the impact of data growth. Pair that with the need for assessing the...

Hands down, one of my all-time favorite movies is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—and aside from the side splitting comedy, one quote always stands out to this day as being almost Zen-like in nature. Said simply by Mr. Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and...

For all of the articles that Inteleca publishes regarding IT security and the nefarious threats that lurk around every corner, sometimes it’s good to tackle different subjects. You know, like the ever-present paranoia that accompanies IT security. Now, all jokes...

News struck yet again this week of another data breach. This time around it was an attempt to steal credit card information from the plug-in Shopper Approved that is used by more than 7,000 online stores. I thought it would be a good time to once again ask the...
