Over the past couple of months we've been making changes to the way we manage our office. First we've gone paperless wherever possible. This has made locating information incredibly easy, not to mention reduces our storage needs and supply costs. While we've converted all possible documents for 2011 and have a system in place for going forward we are also planning on digitizing previous years records.
We've gone virtual! The cost to have computers constantly running can add up, especially when they are servers which you really can't put into sleep mode and need to be available almost 24/7. We had 3 systems running for our in house applications and services for clients, but now with the use of virtual machine technology we have just one computer/server running that handles the function of all 3 reducing our electricity use.
More details on the above in the next issue of Polarpassage Newsletter.
