It’s nice to receive positive feedback, good to share it, and to recognize the efforts those who made it possible. Salud Gentlemen!
Dear Tim –
I wanted to let you know that we are so appreciative of the service we’ve received from Erlach Consulting to date. It would be hard to overstate what a breath of fresh air Chris had been. He has already resolved long-standing issues that our previous service provider approached half-heartedly and without success. He is professional, efficient, responsive and perhaps best of all – really, really smart!
And of course Shawn has been great in his own right. A true pleasure to work with.
Thank you for assembling such a great team; we’re very grateful to be working with you all.
Best,
Haydn Bertelson
Vice President of Operations

Google’s Android Proves a Competitor in the Mobile Marketplace
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on May 13th, 2010
Phones based on Google’s Android operating system outsold Apple’s iPhone in Q1 of 2010. This new entry to the market place gives consumer’s some options that Apple can’t or has been reluctant to offer. Particularly Android offers a choice of different hardware sizes, shapes and styles, and perhaps more importantly, the ability to select your cellular carrier.
eWeek.com’s Don Reisinger list 10 reasons why Android will give the iPhone a run for it’s money.
How will Android fair in the Enterprise market place? Android is not there yet, but being backed by Google it will have the war chest to battle its way into that market space. Windows Mobile still has the advantage of integrating tightly with Microsoft’s Exchange Server for over the air email, calendar and contact synchronization.
I believe initially Android will find market penetration in the consumer market place. Individuals like the new features and don’t have to worry about how their technology choice will impact the rest of the folks in the office. As familiarity increases and if the phone proves to be stable and reliable, the more conservative business world will begin to adopt it.

Facebook users sharing more than they know.

A recent report by Consumer Reports shows that Facebook users are oversharing information. In some cases it is the choice of information posted. In other cases it is a misunderstanding as to who can see it. You may believe you information is available to only a select few when in actuality is may be available to friends or friends, broad networks, or the world as a whole. Read on and enlighten yourself:

Microsoft, Facebook launch Docs for Facebook.
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on April 26th, 2010
Microsoft and Facebook have teamed up to release a beta Docs for Facebook. It looks like Microsoft is answering Google Apps’ excursion into the office productivity market. This is important to Microsoft to maintain their market share. The consumer market will end up being a loss leader. Consumer markets are often an entry to the business market, and the business market is where the money is at. Microsoft will need to build a critical mass, or least prevent Google from achieving it, to maintain the lion’s share of the lucrative business market. Let the battle of the Titan’s begin!
Oops! McAfee Makes a Mis-step. Pooches Thousands of Systems!
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on April 23rd, 2010
In a hasty effort to keep abreast of the continuing onslaught of viruses and malware McAfee released a set of virus definitions that flagged as malicious a core file of Windows XP Service Pack 3. McAfee disables this file, and after a reboot the system is rendered useless. Learn more in this PC Mag Blog. If you have a positive for w32/wecorl.a don’t shut your computer down, read this article, or call your IT support! McAfee admits they did a poor job with quality control on this one, but don’t make a hasty change to another AV without doing your due diligence. Many other vendors have had their shares of mis-steps over the years.
