Video Conferencing for Baton Rouge Businesses: Software or Hardware?

Posted by Brad Rojas on Dec 15, 2016 10:01:28 AM

It wasn’t long ago that in order to enjoy technology on a personal level we had to agree to be handcuffed to hardware, platforms, and tangible accessories that would overwhelm bookcases, require special compartments, and a significant initial investment.  In order to watch movies you had to buy a DVD player and DVDs.  To listen to music you needed a stereo and CDs.  To do anything you needed infrastructure and recurring resources.  Today, that is not the case.  Technology, especially in the entertainment sector has become streamlined through an entire new model.  No more buying components and accessories.  Consumers have shifted from needing to hold a tangible, physical piece of media to preferring, for a nominal fee, to have access to a song, movie, or show on demand.  Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, and Pandora have changed the landscape in our living rooms and cars.  Everything you could ever want lives in the cloud and is ready when you want it.

Posted by Brad Rojas on Nov 16, 2016 1:46:26 PM

Technology today has made life more convenient than ever before.  Businesses have made it easy, and in some cases ideal, to completely forgo human interaction while still being able to leverage their services.  One sector that offers several examples of this new digital relationship is banking and finance.  Between ATMs that accept deposits and make withdrawals, online platforms with bill paying features, and the ability to deposit checks from anywhere with your phone, customers can now handle virtually every banking responsibility, well, virtually.  However, there are some actions that simply can’t be done remotely.  Sensitive information, specific questions, and personal insights can only be shared face-to-face.  According to a survey done by Investopedia 99% of participants claimed that the quality of customer engagement is important for the success of their business.  So how can a financial institution bridge the gaps between digital accessibility, convenience, and engagement?

4 Benefits of Interactive Whiteboards for Your Baton Rouge Business

Posted by Brad Rojas on Aug 23, 2016 1:29:51 PM

Have you ever taken extensive notes on your conference room’s whiteboard; leaving it full of ideas, diagrams, strategies, and plans?  The answer is likely yes.  Whiteboards were created in the 1950’s, but really became a popular classroom and office implementation in the late 1970’s with the development of dry erase markers.  What other technology in your office has been around, largely unchanged, since 1975?  Probably not much, phone books and fax machines are rarely, if ever, used.  In fact, a computer from the 1970’s would have cost over $4 million.  And at 12.5 MHz, it would have been 128 times slower than and 8,000 times as expensive as the laptop you’re reading this on now.  So, that begs the question: You wouldn’t use a computer from 1975, why use a whiteboard from 1975?  Is it the information that gets erased before you’re done, the legibility issues from a dozen different people writing, or the markers that dry out?  This is where interactive boards are changing the way companies meet, collaborate, and operate.  Here are 4 business benefits that come along with interactive whiteboards.
