Management is basically disconnected from the day-to-day, depending on which department you are in, and can provide little to no guidance or support. I would be very cautious about using this company to manage your servers, website, or create custom software for your business. There are little-to-no quality control processes, projects are not scoped out properly before contracts are signed, and getting needed information from higher-ups is a dead-end. ...read more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MsTOogs6Vw New Biz Law to Ease Annuitization September 26, 2010 Copyright:A.M. Best Company, Inc.Source:BestWire ServicesWordcount:unknownCompanies that deal in annuities are awaiting a presidential signature enacting a small-business bill that includes -- tucked within its pages -- a provision easing partial access to annuities. Now that the U.S. House of Representatives has approved the bill, following the previous week's passage in the Senate, the White House has announced that President Barack Obama would sign it into law on Sept. 27.The legislation, HR 5297, which cleared the Senate 61-38 and the House 237-187, included this small insurance item that reflected an idea that has been around since first proposed by Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. The provision would allow owners of nonqualified annuities, which are retail annuities outside retirement plans, to more simply annuitize a segment of their annuity contract, letting the remaining portion grow on a tax-deferred basis (BestWire, Sept. 17, 2010)."It's going to make it a whole lot easier for people to annuitize a portion of their nonqualified annuity contract," said Alane Dent, vice president for federal relations, tax and retirement security at the American Council of Life Insurers. "Any way that we can encourage people to receive lifetime income is a good thing. ... Hopefully we will see more people encouraged to take some of their deferred annuity as a partial annuitization."The current system is too cumbersome, insurers have argued, requiring "a two-fold process," Dent said. "The insurance company has to actually terminate that contract and create two contracts," she said. "It's just an administrative complication."According to Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation, the annuities provision would generate federal revenue of $956 million over 10 years, from 2011 to 2020 (BestWire, Sept. 17, 2010). Dent said the industry had been working with the IRS to clarify these rules within the tax code, but the feds preferred a clear "legislative route."Also in September, annuities were the subject of attention from federal agencies. The U.S. Department of Labor held a hearing at which insurers argued the positives of wider annuity use in Americans' retirement accounts. The agency, in conjunction with the Department of the Treasury, has been examining the potential benefits of greater annuity use, and though the agencies had already received written comments from the industry, the hearing was a chance to deliver direct testimony (BestWire, Sept. 15, 2010).(Jesse A. Hamilton, Washington bureau manager: Jesse.Hamilton@ambest.com) ...read more

If your technology stopped working, would your business stop functioning too? Is your business totally reliant on the information stored on your computer systems or could you continue to deliver 95% of your products and services and catch up on the computer work later? No matter which end of this scale your business is at, you will fare much better during a major technology outage if you plan in advance, before it happens. This month we take some of the mystery out of Business Continuity Planning. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the process of working out how your business will continue to function during a disaster. These threats to your business could include:Flooding (severe rainfall)FireHardware failureTornado/ Hurricane/ CycloneEmployee damageBurst water pipesEarthquakeSoftware failureSevered phone cablingEmployee errorBurglaryInfluenza outbreakInternet outageSecurity breach... And many more!BCP begins with identifying the possible risks and the impact they would have on your business. What functions would be affected if your main administration PC crashed? How long could you be without internet access? It's important to evaluate the probability of these incidents occurring and the severity of their impact. This will help you to determine which incidents are the highest priorities to be addressed. Next, you look at how these risks can be prevented, or the impact of them lessened. This could include copying data to a different site or having a laptop that has the same business-critical software applications as your administration PC. Finally, you plan the actions that would be needed to help you respond when this incident occurs. Do you need to go to another site to get a copy of your data or bring the laptop in from home? Do you need to temporarily relocate to another site that does have internet access? Can you run a paper-based system until you can access your computers again? Think about who will be responsible for doing what and what resources they will need. This also needs to include any third-party suppliers of your business, like your local Computer Troubleshooter.Your Business Continuity Plan should be examined, tested and maintained on a regular basis. This is to ensure it still reflects the changing needs of your business and also to make sure that the key parties within your business understand their roles in the process. Whilst it may seem a little daunting, some forethought and planning will save you a lot of time, stress and money when things do go wrong.
