Catalog management has come along way from the early days. They have evolved from the traditional paper based approach to modern-day digital catalogs. Digital catalogs provide the benefits of genuine customer reviews and experiences that allow well informed decision making.

Customer relationship management does not start the day your customers sign the dotted line, it starts the second you have that first interaction with them, whether it's discovery email, social media, or a hand shake.
Nearly 50 years ago, the Virginia State Travel Service hit it big with its famous "Virginia is for Lovers" slogan. Ashburn, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, caters to a specific form of lover: tech professionals who love Ashburn's access to what has been called " the bullseye of America's Internet."
There's nothing more valuable in an organization's war chest than its data. Both present and future business decisions are increasingly determined by data analytics. With data so valuable, it must be protected at all costs, which is why backup testing is such a pivotal process for any business.
Just five of these Italian dynamos were produced 20 years ago and introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. A 366-cubic inch Mercedes-Benz V-12 engine allows it to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in 4 seconds flat, and up to 100 miles per hour in 9.2 seconds.
Organizations migrating to a new IT environment, such as the Cloud, should always give serious consideration to the security of that environment. But how secure is the Cloud? If you don't know exactly what piece of hardware your private data is found on at a given time, how do you know it is secure?
5G is no technology at all; it's simply the shortened name for the 5th Generation of mobile network that will become the latest wave of telecommunications infrastructure reform. 5G is still not completely defined as companies race to master a solution.
Data hacking is one of the biggest threats to websites. Not only can it result in company's proprietary information being stolen or made public, but it can also lead to personal records, credit card numbers and social security information being stolen or exposed. We review the top 5 biggest data breaches in this blog.
Some companies hope that they are too small to be noticed by hackers, others that their size alone implies they must have ample security to survive a DDoS attack. Both ways of thinking are misguided. Here's a deeper dive into the five biggest DDoS attacks of all time and what hosting companies learned from them.
For your website, a DDoS attack is like being paralyzed. These malicious actions are carried out by multiple bots or "zombie" computers who send superfluous requests to a computer or website to disrupt service. They gobble up bandwidth and make it impossible for legitimate requests to get through.
Both biotech and pharma firms regularly use massive amounts of data as they trial new products, new cures and new solutions. What does the inside view of a biotechnology or pharmaceutical firm look like in the cloud? It's a massive environment that is harnessing every technology available to change the world.
Cloud offers a lot of what augmented reality needs most: the computing power to provide lots of graphics and heavy-duty processing without the massive hardware or the infrastructure costs that come with maintaining that sort of environment. Read more in Atlantic.Net's blog.
If you're a science fiction fan like me, the term "artificial intelligence" recalls entities like HAL-9000, Skynet, the Cylons, and the fact that these creations have a bad habit of rising up against their creators and trying to kill us all. While artificial intelligence (A.I.)

Let's face it: security guards are not often taken seriously - and are more often the butt of jokes. You might picture a guy sitting in his car outside a subdivision or the strip mall - the so-called "rent-a-cop." And how are you going to fight crime when all you've got is a flashlight?
To deliver HIPAA compliance within WordPress, the first step is to understand the basics of HIPAA-compliant IT and hosting. Relative to the specific deployment, perform a risk analysis and then build a HIPAA-compliant website in WordPress with five basic concerns in mind. Why is this form of compliance needed?
This is a white paper for a South African financial firm that I did copyediting and some rewrites for.
When it comes to your family and your home, never settle for less. With a home-town feel and big-city conveniences you and your family will feel right at home in Katy, Texas. Located twenty five miles from downtown, off Interstate Highway 10 and US Highway 90, Katy is a tri-county area.
Relocating to a new house is more than a mere change of residence. It means creating new ties with neighbors, the community, and finding your footing. With so much to do, it's essential to make the process of moving, at least, as smooth as possible.
The 2016 calendar is dwindling down and while most are out holiday shopping, you should be searching for the home of your dreams. Here are two BIG reasons to house hunt in December. 1. Time...is on your side, yes it is! Motivated Sellers-Their reasons to move can vary from job relocation, financial hardship, or personal opportunity.
November, is a peak month for pumpkins and cranberries, but not quite for moving. From May through September, half of the moving done in the United States occurs during the summer season. Fortunately enough, that means by now you're all settled and perhaps ready to reorganize just in time for the arrival of family and friends.
When you're preparing to move your family or business to a new location, packing up your belongings can be one of the most daunting parts of the transition. Sure, moving the couch or the coffee table usually only requires two strong pairs of arms and a moving truck, but taking the truly valuable stuff - paintings, pictures, antiques, heirlooms, and one-of-a-kind family possessions is a lot more stressful.
When you've gotten past the adrenaline rush of finding a new place to live, the harsher realities that encompass a move set in. Changing the utilities over, setting up the new cable service, letting your legion of contacts know you're moving to a new address, and of course: the packing.
In 2016, for the first time in history, Americans spent more money online on Black Friday than they did in retail, avoiding the trampling crowds searching packed department stores for the best deals in retail. A full 108.5 million customers did their shopping online, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation: nearly 10 ...
When most people think about Katy, TX, they think about one of three things depending on how old they are - rice fields, Renee Zellweger, or high school football. But for those in the know, Katy has also turned into the ideal Houston suburb to move to - with great schools, gorgeous master-planned communities, and a fantastic school system.
Moving is an investment of both your time and your money. Odds are if you're looking for a moving company, you've already sunk a lot of both into the place your family is moving to, and you're doing everything you can to minimize costs wherever possible.
When you're moving, it's easy to believe you've got everything covered. You've called the moving company, rerouted your utility payments, canceled the cable, and grabbed so many unused cardboard boxes from the supply closet at work that you could probably build a house out of them.
One of my favorite movies of the 1980s is "Wargames," in which a teenage hacker, played by Matthew Broderick, accidentally activates a nuclear defense computer program named 'Joshua.' The program contemplates launching the US' arsenal of nuclear weapons in a preemptive strike against the Soviet Union.
Whether it's for an upgrade, a move to another part of the country, or a shrewd financial strategy, the decision to sell you house is never one made lightly. Not only does it mean packing all your belongings and relocating your family, but it also can put enormous stress on you during the process of waiting for offers, managing negotiations, and traveling the long road until closing day.
Accepting credit card payments can greatly boost your business's bottom line, but it comes with an immense responsibility. Anyone paying attention to the news knows how ubiquitous credit card breaches and hacks have become, with Target, Home Depot, and now even Equifax - a premier U.S.

I was 27 when I first realized my previously indestructible body had suffered a muscle injury. Lifting a television and carrying it up and down three flights of stairs while moving did something to my lower back that set off warning bells in my pain center.
The way food tastes is one of the main reasons customers return to a restaurant after their first visit. However, good food photography has a huge impact on getting customers through the door in the first place. Crisp, vibrant and appetizing food photography of your best dishes and cocktails is a must.
Gas assist injection molding is a technique used the world over to manufacture complex plastic parts by applying uniform pressure throughout the molded part. Pressure from nitrogen gas creates channels within the part, which eliminates warping, sink marks, and internal stress.
At the end of the previous decade, Encana Corporation, a large international natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids producer, contracted Worley Parsons, a global engineering, procurement, and construction giant, to serve as project manager for construction of its gas compressor station set in Weyburn, SK, Canada.
As beards and facial hair become more and more the signature way for a man to define his own style and sense or fashion, the personal grooming marketplace for all things facial hair has exploded.

In my past role as a BIM manager, putting a team together is something I took very seriously.

Great Communicators.

If you sit in a chair for much of the day, at the office or even in your own home office you might well suffer from discomfort in the back and neck areas. This is down to a number of reasons.
Ambitious plans for Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development have heightened the interest in the modular construction being used to build two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at the Vogtle site in Georgia and two reactors at the V.C. Summer site in South Carolina.
The Part 52 regulation allows the licensing of a facility before it is built to ensure safety issues are addressed at the start of the process. Up until this procedure, the NRC issued a construction permit based on a preliminary design and safety issues were not fully resolved until the end of the licensing process.
The fiscal 2016 Omnibus Appropriations Act was signed into law December 18, boosting nuclear energy funding from $914 million in 2015 to $986 million in 2016. Within this plan, the government raised funding for SMR Licensing from $55 million to $63 million, signaling higher activity in SMR licensing this year.
The biggest obstacle to the commercial viability of consolidated interim storage facilities in the United States is politics, Pierre Oneid, Holtec International Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer, told Nuclear Energy Insider.

A friend of mine once unwisely bought a used Volkswagen Beetle while we were attending university together. He didn't have a car and was tired of bumming rides from friends everywhere he went. He haggled the owner down to just a few hundred dollars for the car, which had a fresh coat of paint and a recent oil change to its credit.

When I was in college in the early 1990s, I once came home to an answering machine message from my older brother. In a panicky, disbelieving voice he described how he had decided to shave his head, using the phrase "I shaved my head" roughly 15 times in a 90-second voice mail.

If you've been self-employed for any length of time, there's been an instance when you've simply run out of time to finish a project. Therein lies one of the greatest conundrums of our profession: Do I banish my pillow and blanket, start a fresh pot of coffee and stay up late to finish my task?
