Geoff Claydon on Changing Business Processes

Dear Judy,
Dilbert - I'll tryIn business we all have processes that we are comfortable with and are reluctant to change; however, we all know that there are ways to improve how we do everything.  If those changes result in saving time, reducing costs and lowering stress levels then we should take a very careful look at them.
I believe that we don't have enough meetings, at least not the right kind of meetings.  We spend too much time traveling to and from them only to find that the right people weren't able to be there.  We leave feeling that the experience could have been much more productive and perhaps decide not to attend the next time.
The same goes for working on a team project, collaborating on documents and spreadsheets, training, as well as showing a presentation to a group of people.
You wouldn't believe how much time, money and frustration you can save by using effective web tools.
Take a look at Webex and see how you could use it to help your company improve communications by having web meetings with customers, clients, vendors etc.  Give us a call at 416 907 9976 to find out how we can help you implement the right tools to enable you to communicate efficiently and effectively and at the same time save money.
MS Office 2007

MS Office LogoAt Web Communications, we recently installed Office 2007 on our systems and cannot believe how much better it is than previous versions of Office.  It contains so many new features, the most notable of which is the entirely new graphical user interface called the Ribbon, replacing the menus and toolbars that have been the cornerstone of Office since its inception. If you can, I strongly recommend that you move to this version.  In combination with Dragon Naturally Speaking there are significant time savings to be gained from using these two products.
Clone CleanerEliminate Duplicate Files

Here is a great tool that can save you an incredible amount of stress.  Clone Cleaner Pro is a Windows utility that helps keep PCs clean by locating duplicate files according to a variety of user-specified parameters.  It allows you to copy, move or remove files with the same name, same size or same content on both local or networked computers.  Clone Cleaner Pro helps easily reclaim disk space wasted by all the extra unnecessary file copies and keeps them well organized.  It can also examine multiple paths or drives, even across a network.  Detailed search criteria accelerate a search by filtering files by name, size, modified date or attributes and allows the exclusion of certain folders.  Users can save search parameters for future use.  Well worth checking out!  More Information
Web Communications would be pleased to help you implement the web tools that will improve your communications and enhance your business.  Please call or email us to find out more or visit our website for more information about all of our services can benefit your business.
Sincerely,

Geoff Claydon
