In the ever changing world of social media, it’s becoming a full time job to keep up with the trends, changes, rules, and content.  LinkedIn and Facebook have made significant changes to their business pages.  Between key words, product pages, and the ability to add interactive graphics to your pages, design and prioritizing key words has become imperative.  Whether you’re responsible for your company’s page or just your own professional profiles I am sure you have your hands full. 

The importance of professional social media for branding continues to grow.  I don’t know about you, but when I am researching anything, whether it’s a new software program, a camp for my daughter, or I am looking for background on an individual before a business meeting, the first place I go is Google!  If it’s a product, usually a review or website will appear first on the list.  If it’s an individual, more than likely, the first thing that will pop up is their LinkedIn profile.

Today is the first official day of Fall.  With the beginning of Fall, it signals that football season is getting started, baseball season is wrapping up, and hockey season is right around the corner.  With the beginning of Fall, change occurs.  The changes are visible all around us.  It also signals the beginning of the end.  The beginning of the end of the year is upon us.  Fourth quarter.  The charge to year end.

Fall is around the corner and 4^th Quarter is quickly approaching.  At Remedi, we have a Quarterly Strategy meeting to re-evaluate our Vision, Mission and Strategic Direction.  We invest a day every quarter at an off-site location to review our business objectives for the year.

Recently we have been talking a lot about B2B Modernization, but what about MFT?  Managed File Transfer should not be over looked in your modernization efforts.  Companies that have no reliable and supported MFT infrastructure are open to many risks.
