I saw a commercial last night for a business software program (which will remain nameless) that says it’s like having a ‘virtual back office.’ I was instantly intrigued because, after all, that is a catch phrase we have been using. After watching the commercial, I realized that yes, it is like having a ‘virtual back… Continue reading Your Virtual Back Office
We needed a good way to stay in contact with our clients, especially those that were hours away. I spent a lot of time looking for good solutions for video teleconferencing but failed to find any that provided what we needed, at a cost that was feasible, until now.
