Welcome
Welcome to the January 2015 Edition of the Real Times.
Happy New Year to all our friends, clients and
colleagues. Thanks again for your business and
support during 2014. It seems like each year flies
by more quickly than the last. It�s been a whole
year since we retired the NetTech News and launched
the Real Times. We hope you find it worth
your time and interest. For your convenience we have
listed the 2015 Real Time Holidays in the left
sidebar.
January always brings a reset for such
fun things as medical insurance deductibles, some
taxes, business and personal resolutions and weight
loss targets. Bring back December!
To kick
off the New Year off, we have timely articles on
closing out 2014 and how to get 2015 off to the
right start in terms of technology, and one on the
importance of keeping your software up to date.
Nothing too mind stretching.
Well that�s it
for this edition. Look for the next segment of the
Real Times in March.
As always, we invite
your comments and suggestions. Stay warm.
John Azzinaro
and the Real Time team. |

Hits and misses
used with permission from HP Technology at Work
It happens every January. As one year ends, so begins the
onslaught of predictions for the coming 12 months. The fast-paced,
ever-changing nature of technology makes it an especially fun
and easy topic to address in this way, and the tech trend predictions
for businesses came fast and furious at the beginning of 2014.
So what happened? Did they come true? Let's take a look and
see just how accurate those predictions were—and how they can
benefit your business into 2015.
Prediction #1: More and more mobile for SMBs
Did it come true? Yes.

The Importance of General Software Updates and Patches
used with permission from Norton by Symantec
by Nadia Kovacs
We all get them from time to time- those little windows that
pop up, notifying us that there are software updates available
for our computer. Chances are, these always seem to present
themselves right when we are in the middle of doing something
seemingly important, so it�s all too convenient to click on
that "Remind Me Later" button. Later eventually rolls around,
and our little pop-up friend is back once again, nagging us
to install these updates and restart our computer. And just
like during their last visit, we�re right in the middle of something,
and the cycle continues. However, that notification is not there
just to pester us. There is actually significant importance
in updating our software.
