Pacific Dental Conference 2013 Observations

Each year the Pacific Dental Conference brings out the latest innovations and technologies. Here are some of the highlights from our perspective.

Is Cloud Computing Ready for Your Office?

The question on the minds of many IT professions is 'Are you ready for cloud computing?'. Given the high level of exposure given to this concept recently, you may be wondering what 'the cloud' can do for you. This is a valid question. In the dental office, another question should be 'Is cloud computing ready for my office?'.

From the Comfort of Your Own Home

When TBN first started showing Tracker to offices we used to have to lug around a full computer system, but with the introduction of laptops that had enough power to showcase Tracker, we were very happy.

Tracker Mobile App?

With the prevalence of Smartphone devices such as Blackberry, iPhone, Windows Mobile and Android, people often ask if they can purchase an 'App' to access their Tracker data from. The answer is no. You see, there is already a solution that is better than an app.

Internet In The Office - Now An Essential Business Tool

It's 2009 and still some offices do not have Internet. This is something I find hard to believe. Whether you agree or not, find out why having the Internet in your office is a Work Smart solution.

Stop Wasting Time with Spam!

How many times have you gone to go check your email just to find countless emails of things you never wanted or asked for? Most of us don't believe it when they say "click here to verify all of your bank account information" or want to get the "cheapest blue pill on the market." 

Using Your Computer's Sound

Do you think that having sound on your computers offers no benefits? Or maybe you realize there are benefits, but there are drawbacks preventing you. Either way, we may have a solution for you.

Optimizing Outlook

A misconception about Microsoft Outlook and other email clients is that its only function is to receive and send email. Although email is its primary function, a lot of people don’t realize how many organization and scheduling tools are available and how Outlook can make office email and task management easy and effective.  Through the use of email organization, contact lists, calendar / to do reminders, user signatures and managing your junk email, Outlook can easily become one of the most powerful tools used in your office.

On-Line Back-ups Why Use Them?

Are you backing up your data on a daily basis? You would be surprised to hear how many people answer “No” or “I don’t know” to this important question. The Bridge Network likes to say that backing up data is like flossing - everybody knows they should be doing it daily, but too many people either can’t be bothered or are just plain doing it wrong.
