Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days. It has become a standard feature in many business tools and devices. This means a lot of people are using it day-in and day-out.

While you’re busy with other parts of running your business, you need to know with certainty that your files are safe, and we can offer that.

You probably have to rewrite the same messages day in and day out for internal reporting and client interactions, and it probably takes up a ton of time that would be better spent elsewhere. Furthermore, you’re probably copying and pasting, which can lead to errors and oversights that you could live without. If you’re doing this for email, then you should be leveraging templates to keep your messages consistently top-quality. Let’s go over how to set them up.

Happy Social Media Day! It’s hard to believe that social media—at least in the modern sense—has already been around for almost a quarter-century. Seriously! LinkedIn launched in 2003, and Facebook launched in 2004.

Since then, social media has become an essential business tool; however, it also provides cybercriminals with an opportunity to exploit your organization.
