Surveillance
NOT Just for Spies
By Tammy Wellbrock, Nex-Tech
This eNewsletter
will self-destruct in five seconds. . .
Terms such as surveillance, undercover
and covert conjure up images typically seen in a James Bond or Mission
Impossible movie. These days, however, there are practical yet affordable
surveillance applications and equipment businesses can use to creatively save
time and money.
Practical Application
#1: “Eyes” for Blind Areas in a Business or for Off-hours.
Picture the typical car dealership with
vehicles spanning several rows and often around corners. If some cars are
located out of the front desk’s view, a monitoring system can allow employees to
multitask more effectively between office paperwork and customer visits. This
same dealer could also utilize a camera system to record customers visiting the
dealership when closed. If employees recognize a shopper, they can possibly turn
missed opportunities into sales.
In addition, businesses selling
easy-to-grab and easy-to-hide items, can utilize video surveillance to help
alert them when customers enter blind spots. Employees are then able to assist
customers while possibly reducing shoplifting concerns.

As we all know,
computers are not perfect devices, and they sometimes
malfunction. And when they do, this can create frustration,
wasted time, and unneeded expense – especially for those of

oxygen.
Luckily, many
common computer issues can be resolved without professional
help – and with excellent results and little or no
hair-pulling involved.
Here are a few of the problems you
might encounter, and how to fix them.

Get the Big Picture
Assessing your information technology
You
are certainly familiar with the Rube Goldberg machine – the delightfully
convoluted set of processes required to accomplish a simple task. In the day to
day interactions of information technologies, Goldberg is often hard at work. It
only takes a tiny disagreement between software codes or a mismatch of operating
systems for the marble wobbling down the chute to end up on the floor.
Ideally, you should be evaluating your IT
investment initiatives in the context of a comprehensive business strategy that
ensures maximum returns and facilitates that all-important "alignment" of IT and
business requirements. But the real world too often delivers unrestrained
marbles.
It's indicative of the problem that many
businesses face as they try to maintain an accurate picture of their assets.
