If you haven’t applied for a job in the past few years, things have changed – significantly. Almost everyone requires that you apply online, which is fine by me. I am all about online.

Read MoreDoes Email Have an Expiration Date?
As technology advances and social media becomes even more prevalent in our day-to-day lives, where does that leave email?

Read MoreEverybody Procrastinates
In the spirit of all procrastinators, we can all relate to postponing undesired tasks. However, many are feeling that delaying the ICD-10 coding classification transition (which previously had an already pushed-back due date of October 2013) may be too much procrastination. With five times the number of diagnostic codes and the training involved for charting and coding, it is easy to understand why.
Read MoreStorage and SharePoint
Optimizing storage to meet the needs of scalability for productivity and cost control is important for any business, and users of Microsoft SharePoint are no exception.
