The Onion Approach to Antivirus
By: Stuart Crawford
Many small business owners are concerned about business continuity and ensuring that their staff remains productive during work hours. One of the biggest risks to productivity in the work place is the threat of viruses, worms and other malicious activities that circulate around the Internet and threaten our corporate and home networks daily. Most viruses are spread via email and most are not written to cause damage to a personal computer, but specifically to disrupt network services, or simply flood your email services with thousands of these emails that spread the virus around to your business partners, staff and other contacts.
The “Onion Approach,” or layering of your security, which protects your network and PC from the infiltration of worms and other viruses, is the best way to ensure that your technology systems remain functional and your staff productive.

Small Companies that Play Big
By: Julie Sloane, Justin Martin and Alessandra Bianchi, FSB Magazine
(FSB Magazine) -- The CEO of a Southern California software company recently contacted FSB to trumpet the success of his new product. It had about 400 users at a dozen small companies and had just received a glowing review in a top industry trade magazine. But he and his co-founder were tiptoeing around a matter that they regarded as so sensitive that they spoke about it only on condition that we not print their names: Except for four developers in India, their company has no employees.
Not even their customers know their secret. Thanks to a $99-a-month phone system and an actress who does voice-overs, a professional recording greets all callers and routes them to the company's sales, tech support, or marketing departments - but nine times out of ten, they'll reach the CEO. The CEO used $150 software to create an online video demonstration that walks potential customers through his product's features, giving his Web site a flashy, moneyed feel. And Web-based software lets customers see the CEO's computer desktop live, so he can personally demo the software without an in-person meeting. The cost: $70 a year. "If customers knew we were so small," says the CEO, "they wouldn't take us seriously."

Edmonton becomes the next Canadian tech hotbed & Massive will be there in September to support it!
If you think ice cream melts quickly in the sizzling summer heat, just wait until you see how quickly Massive heats up in Alberta. Not many people are aware of the booming Edmonton economy; in fact during a recent trip to Alberta, Calgarians kept asking…”Why Edmonton? Isn’t Calgary the hotbed for technology in Alberta?”
Well Massive has this to report: While Calgary is definitely a prime player in the Alberta technology market, their modest neighbour is giving them a run for the title! In recent reports by the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC), Edmonton has the fastest growing business community in Canada. What’s more is that tech companies from all over North America are beginning to recognize that substantial business opportunities are popping up everywhere in this under-recognized Canadian city.
More and more businesses are setting up shop and expanding at an alarming rate, and as such there is an increasing need for technologies to facilitate this growth. Join us in Edmonton on September 25th, 2007 to learn more about this thriving business community and the technologies that are helping drive its growth!
