3 tips for using a tablet to be productive everywhere in the office
used with permission from Microsoft at Work

Although many of us have laptops and other mobile devices, or can log in to work from a home desktop, we overwhelmingly spend most of our time in the office. That doesn't mean, however, that we spend all of our time at our desks. In fact, middle managers and executives spend between 35 percent and 50 percent of their time away from their desks and in meetings. We don't usually think of being "mobile" in the office, but that's what is happening when we're out of our chairs. So the question is, how do we improve our in-office productivity while in meetings or moving between them?

Whether at work, home, or mobile, keeping your computer and other devices secure is important. There are any number of threats to security on the web, but keeping your personal and work data safe is relatively easy. It may take a few minutes to get things set up, but after that, things mostly take care of themselves and you can sit back, relax, and enjoy worry-free computer time.

Spyware, ransomware, and bots, oh my! A lot of these terms are prevalent on the Internet, but it may seem impossible to know what all these terms mean, and how they actually affect your devices and personal information.

The term, "virus" has been the commonplace word for all malicious software programs for years now; however, a virus is just one type of malicious threat. A virus is classified as a self-replicating piece of malicious code that travels by inserting itself into files or programs.

Business Continuity Tip
9 Ways to Prepare for Spring Weather

It's important to prepare before a big storm hits. And while the importance of heeding this advice is always in good fashion, it couldn't be more true during springtime. Here's why.

Unlike the arctic storms of winter, or hurricanes of summer, the severe weather that manifests during spring, such as flooding and tornadoes, are some of the most unpredictable weather disasters that occur. Often, these events only offer a few moments notice before they strike, leaving those who are unprepared at serious risk.

Head into the spring season with confidence by downloading Agility's whitepaper containing the 9 Ways to Prepare for Severe Spring Weather. You'll learn: How to ensure you have proper insurance, how to ready your office for spring weather, key things to consider as spring weather approaches, and more!
