Datarecovery.com Releases Data Recovery Software for Mac File Systems Data Recovery

admin — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:00:03 +0000

Datarecovery.com today announced the release of a new Apple/Mac OS version of its popular data recovery software solution, SaveMyFiles.

Edwardsville, IL, March 16, 2011 –(PR.com)– Datarecovery.com today announced the release of a new Apple/Mac OS version of its popular data recovery software solution, SaveMyFiles.

SaveMyFiles is able to recover deleted, corrupt, or otherwise lost data from Apple and Windows-based systems.

The Mac OS version of the software uses very different methods from the Windows version, as the Windows operating system doesn’t automatically overwrite deleted data in the way that Mac OS does. Mac OS also uses an entirely different file system known as HFS+.

The Mac OS version of SaveMyFiles will carry a similar price as the Windows version and will be available for download at DataRecovery.com.

“We wanted to give consumers a fully featured data recovery program that really lives up to its name, as that’s lacking in the Mac OS market right now,” said Ben Carmitchel, President of DataRecovery.com. “Most recovery programs don’t do what they promise, but by using our experience in working with thousands of damaged Apple hard drives, we’re able to offer a product that we can stand behind.”

In addition to its primary function as a data recovery program, SaveMyFiles can be used for investigative purposes to see which files on a computer have been downloaded or to view recent activity. This could allow for an easy method of computer forensics and electronic discover for home buyers who may not be able to afford expensive legal services.

“We’ve already had customers use the software to find evidence of employees’ illegal activities, to find and prove infidelity before a divorce, and to keep track of what their children are doing on the Internet,” said Carmitchel. “As long as SaveMyFiles is used legally, it can be an incredibly powerful forensic tool.”

The software can be purchased at DataRecovery.com.

DataRecovery.com is a worldwide leader in data recovery services for RAID systems, hard drives, flash media, and other digital storage devices since 1998. They are currently one of only three data recovery companies to hold a US Government GSA contract and have locations across the United States and Canada.

Benefits Using Content Management Systems

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 09:37:04 +0000

Considering the benefits of using content management systems to create website pages provokes me to wonder why more small business owners don’t take advantage of CMS for the creation of their websites.Despite of an intricate technical setup for content management systems, the benefits of using CMS far outweigh the effort needed to put into the setup.Using a content management system allows the website owner to have more control over the look and content of a well-functioning website. This allows your small business website to rise in most search engine rankings without hiring someone else to add content.A content management system also allows you to add webpages in plain text which is automatically translated into perfect to near perfect HTML code without errors. Having a website without code errors allows the small business website owner to reap the rewards.Valid code with no errors eliminates browsers from auto-correcting your code, and having a layout that is not broken may enhance your load time and search engine indexing. Valid code also allows your website to display properly today and on future devices as well.Valid coded websites are considered accessible to most types of browsers, platforms and screen readers, and websites with valid code tend to become indexed more efficiently by search engines.Content management systems allow business owners to add content as often as desired to keep their websites up-to-date. By allowing new content to be added easily without hiring a webdesigner, you can invest your time instead of your money to add, edit or delete pages.Even if you don’t have the time to write content, with a content management system, the option is still there for you to hire someone else to do so. When you use a content management system for your small business website, adding more pages is so easy that you may want to write them on a regular basis. Knowing that the more pages a website has is a good way to get indexed by search engines could encourage you to add content often. The more subcategories of your business niche that you write about means that your website could be indexed for more page titles and keywords.You can get traffic to your website if you have an aged domain that could be considered to have more authority than newer websites online. Older websites are usually considered more reliable and trustworthy to search engines.Another great way to get more traffic to your website and get indexed by search engines is with backlinks from other websites that have a good page rank. You can submit your website to free directories for inbound links, submit your blog to services such as Zimbio and Blogflux, and write articles to get more inbound links to your website.

Website Editors and Content Management Systems

admin — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 09:36:16 +0000

As a Website Editor you have a fully maintained site or internal network (intranet). This system of information distribution is seemingly helpful though it continues to be far from ideal. The content of your pages are tirelessly hard to maintain and update without a full time specialized member of staff specifically in charge, so much of your content becomes dated and wrong. Generally the systems for updating and maintaining are fairly complex so once again hard to track and function.
This information could lead you to having out-of-date prices or offers still displayed, inaccurate information being displayed or shown and ultimately leaving you unguarded in the event of negative legal matters (this incorrect information possibly leading to customers or clients taking legal action for one reasons or another). This caution and common problem is an everyday issue when using professional, specific manual online tools such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage. These problems are what Content Management Systems are created to smooth over.
A Content Management System cradles and secures the design, maintenance, displaying and distribution of corporate information. It creates the complete end to end journey of the particular website, from providing templates and tools to facilitate the content, onto the display and then to finish the final archiving.
It also provides the user with abilities to manage the content and shape of the site, the appearance of the published content and the journey and navigation maintained for the end user.
Internet Content Management systems are controlling and creative systems, implemented fully as a web application in order to create, manage and maintain HTML content (HTML being the integral language that is written to create today’s web sophisticated web pages). The systems are used to operate and control mass amounts of internet documentation and their related images. They successfully guide the functions of editing, site maintenance, subject control and content implementation.
These systems allow users little understanding of HTML, however the platform still gives them the freedom to write and create web content and product. In short Web Content Management Systems facilitate web editing to another level of user, as explained users with minimal knowledge of programming languages can manage, create and produce web material with little effort or special training.
The majority of these systems use an enhanced database to store content, higher descriptors such as metadata (data about data) or other tools or creditors that may be needed by that particular system. It is common for XML to be used in interchanging data over the Internet and it is normally used to manage and facilitate versatile presentation options.
The page content will be displayed to web surfers based on a pre-determined group of templates. These templates can occasionally be processed as XSLT files which facilitate the journey of information onto your pre-determined website. The majority of Content Management Systems use server side caching to allow greater storage of information and quick access to that information. These are used generally on sites that are not edited on a regular basis but achieve plenty of internet traffic and hits.
A ‘fat client’ is a computer in client-server architecture networks which normally allows mass functionality free of the central server. The administration is usually completed through browser based interfaces the pre-mentioned ‘fat client’ is used by some more specialized systems.
Different and aside from web site builders, as previously mentioned website content management systems allow people to make changes and maintain their sites in a completely non-technical and user friendly capacity. However generally these systems and processes will still need an experienced Web Editor or HTML coder to set up more dynamic and thorough features and end content.

Content Management Systems as a software service ? how to use it to succeed in the web 2.0 era

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 09:36:25 +0000

With a rapidly changing world , an abundance of information, it is a common knowledge that all websites require constant updates as static content simply isn’t useful to visitors and customers.

It is also forcing organizations to find creative ways of leveraging this information or content to create a competitive advantage. These organizations can look towards adopting a software as a service model to manage their multiple digital assets from a single centralized interface.

Content is king these days and websites need to be managed and driven by the business people, far less by the underlying technology that is needed to build up the content.

New and neat content is driving people and customers to websites and it clearly builds a long term relationships with viewers and visitors of the site.

A modern business or organization needs therefore an engine to streamline all its digital content from one single interface and needs an engine that is scalable and manageable by different types of content contribution. An engine that can be used as a service, rather then as a software product, whether it is custom build or open source software. A content management system provided to you as a service guarantees an end-to-end responsibility of the vendor that the software will work according to specifications and that your content will be on-line in a timely manner and will remain there.

Adopting a software service model for building up web or digitized content, is also choosing a fast deployment model, a low cost deployment model, a fast adoption cycle within the organization, a fast proof of concept and transparent updates and upgrades, as you will always be running on the latest available release of the software without additional costs.

Important as well, is that in the cycle from proof of concept to launch of your digital platform, Help will be available to you in order to guide you through the process. Although open source CMS system play a role in the content management market place, they quite often lack the support resources to build up a feature rich and function-rich environment. Other hidden costs coming from development, maintenance, upgrades and hosting that are common for the open source CMS systems, are completely transparent for CMS systems sold as a service.

The service delivery guarantee plays is an important plus for CMS vendors that have adopted a service model, as all payments are predicated upon service delivery. Because the risk of canceling the service when it does not meet specifications or SLA’s, the vendors with a service model become more accountable and are certainly driven to make your site a success for the business.

By using a service model, organizations can cut down on their own risks, and choose different functionality as they grow their digital presence. Also the vendors are scrutinized and evaluated on a permanent basis, because one can shift to another competing vendor almost overnight. Vendors are billing monthly, quarterly or annually, but the costs are spread over the lifetime of the usage of the service. In a traditional product model, the entire cost is paid upfront and the risk of product implementation, adoption and continuity is on the shoulders of the customer.

There are serious productivity gains to a service model. Any business user or any user if allowed can contribute to the content of the website, and this from any location and at any time of the day and by simply using a web browser. The entire rights can be managed and changed depending on the needs of the business and the organization. Different people can be given different editing rights, depending on their contribution. Templates will guide content contributors through the editing cycle. It allows basically anyone with editing or admin rights to quickly and easily create, edit, manage and publish unique content to the digital content of your website.

And not least, there are significant reductions possible in the cost of ownership of your digital content. And it start with your proof of concept, that can now be done in a matter of weeks, rather then months. Then the price of the service, whether billed monthly or quarterly is substantially lower then comparable custom made software and hardware. There is a substantial costs, hidden in the case of open source CMS system, open in the case of custom build CMS systems that goes to upgrades, support, Helpdesk and trouble shooting. All those services are included in your monthly subscription if you choose the CMS service model.

And all the above is available without having to compromise on functionality, because most of the CMS systems delivered as a service have come to market quite recently and have a full set of modern features and often include capturing, editing and managing more digital content then equivalent custom build content management systems. And the functionality is growing by the day, it is adapted to the latest demands in the marketplace and that functionality is made available to the entire customer base as soon as it launched. Traditional software vendors can very often have big disruptions in their releases and come up with a completely new technology. Service models can and will never be able to do that.

In conclusion, in the web 2.0 world there are thousands of reasons to move your digital content to a content management system. Other then the obvious cost of chance, there is no reason not to do it. About 40% of all businesses have adopted some sort of CMS system and by 2011 that number will be at 60%. For small and medium sized businesses and for all non-profit organization the choice remains difficult and to a certain extend risky. The risk can be diminished and the cost can be well controlled by choosing a Software service model for managing your digital content. You can enter the modern digital era without having to do a major upfront investment.

The Right Price to Pay For Document Management Systems

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 09:13:21 +0000

Document management software and systems can range anywhere from $150 all the way up to $150,000. It is very important to decide your budget and exactly which features are crucial for you and your business prior to shoping around for the right document management software for you.
Low end, off the shelf electronic document management systems are typically priced between $150 and $500. These, however, are not going to be able to be used for much more than organizing scanned documents. There are not many customization options, no workflow options (workflow would allow you to send specific documents to other people for sign off or approval), and very little security. Also, since you are just purchasing them from a store, you will not have a dealer available to install the software and teach you how to use it. As far as this type of system, it is really only best used for personal use or by a small business who will not need scanning capabilities for a large portion of their business.
The choice that most small to mid-size businesses should opt to get, are mid-range systems which you can get at any reputable dealer. It is ideal if it includes both the hardware, which is comprised of the scanner and server, and the software, which should have multiple user licenses. These typically run anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000. This system should include trustworthy security features, workflow tools, and other useful features. Many times when you purchase this system the dealer will help you install the system and also teach you how to use it in a way that is most beneficial for your company.
Another option available, if you do not need the hardware, the software will most likely run you anywhere from $2000 to $4000. The price is really dependent on how many user licenses you will need and you must remember that each user does need their own license.
Very high end document scanning solutions can cost anywhere from $20,000 and up. These systems are more geared toward larger companies who will need extremely customized software and hundreds of user licenses. Also, this typically comes with extensive training, customizes installations and high speed scanners. Many large companies who utilize this software do find that it produces a positive ROI within the first couple of years.
With many document management systems, you will need more than the initial package comes with. Make sure to consider everything you will need and learn of all costs, up-front and hidden, prior to signing any contracts. Some things to look out for are annual support fees and maintenance costs. Some companies will provide you with phone and email help for free for the first year, but not all do, so make sure to discuss this prior to signing the contract. Additionally, find out if you will be charged for new updates and training when software is released.
Document management systems can really help organize your office and make filing far more efficient. With such a wide range in prices and types of systems, be sure to choose the one that is best for you.

Inception Technologies offers document management solutions to meet all needs and budgets. Whether you need document management software solutions, or networked scanning system providers, we have what you need. Visit http://inceptiontech.com/ today.

Content Management Systems – Cms – Perfect Solution for a Website

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 09:36:23 +0000

Content Management System, also known as CMS, is a complex application containing web-based tools in combination with web templates and a database in order to organize and update a content of a website. The current popularity of CMS tools is mainly due to the fact that these systems suggest simple solutions to the website routine administration problems.

Content Management System applications are perfect for websites that require constant updates and additions. In fact, one of the main advantages of CMS usage is that you will be able to manage the content of the website without having to study complicated programming languages and deal with various time-consuming technical tasks. All necessary website modifications and updates will be done immediately, no matter where you are: at home, at your workplace or on vacations. You will just need a computer connected to the Internet.

Choosing a Content Management System is one of the crucial steps in the complicated process of website development. First of all you need to evaluate the current needs of your company and the requirements of your website. A professional CMS version that is ideal for a large corporate portal may be not so effective for a small company as its website has no use for various features that are used extensively by a larger business.

It is also recommended to take into account the possibility of future structural reorganization and addition of some new features to the website. The chosen CMS must be flexible enough to meet these requirements. Some CMS also offer additional modules that will enable you to use various specific features. This may be the best variant for those website owners who are planning to expand their business and widen the range of their services in future.Content Management System that uses module architecture can be tailored to meet the needs of almost any website, be it business news site, web shop, or multilingual corporate portal. Usually CMS have a set of modules and extensions covering up assorted functions, and as a result meeting the requirements of an exact site. Moreover, module architecture allows the developers of the system to extend its functionality by writing new modules supposed to do some specific tasks needed for the website.

On the whole, the implementation of a CMS is a perfect solution for a wide variety of websites. The advantages are quite obvious: these applications combine the ease of use along with up-to-date content of the website and the chance of saving a pretty sum of money as you do not have to pay a web developer for maintaining and updating your website.

Dpci Digital Asset Management Systems Simplify Content Management

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 09:36:21 +0000

The company I work for could no longer get away with tracking the location of key files using a spreadsheet and a shared drive. I was chosen to head up the team tasked with formalizing our digital asset management strategy. Key requirements included centralized storage, controlled access and powerful search capabilities.

Digital assets are tens or even hundreds of thousands of files, typically scattered across your company’s network. This material tends to be expensive to produce or acquire, but it’s reusable; think photos, logos and corporate branding material, videos and audio clips. If your company is anything like mine was, half the files it owns aren’t even on the network. They’re sitting on some marketing guy’s laptop, flash drive, or CD’s, and if he forgets any of these in a coffee shop, guess what? Those files are gone for good. Of course, it may take months before anyone even realizes that the files are missing, and then it’s a huge rush and a big expense to replace them.

I quickly realized that there are a lot of digital asset management systems out there and each has its strengths. After a few meetings, I also realized that, while it’s probably a good idea to have the IT department involved in the process of picking a vendor (you do need their support, after all), it’s probably not the best idea to let them attempt a solution on their own. Most companies simply don’t have the expertise in-house and you want to do this right. I insisted on working with a firm specializing in implementation of these systems and I’d highly recommend going that route. DPCI is one name that comes up frequently and it’s known for experience with the bigger vendors including Open Text, North Plans, Nstein and Documentum.

I’ve been beating up on the IT department a bit, but here’s an area where you can make their lives considerably easier: Implement a Web content management system. Most companies have an online presence and it’s not uncommon for various departments to be producing content that’s posted on a variety of web sites and blogs. Success online requires that content be updated quickly and material be consistent and professional in appearance. The problem is organizations still rely on the techies to update pages on the corporate Website, which is inefficient, slow, and anxiety-producing for both sides.

Multiple access points means multiple input methods to be learned, and that puts stress on IT. Not only do they have to keep a collection of access systems running, they usually end up providing user support. Have you ever had to talk someone in Sales or Marketing through posting an event photo or video on the corporate blog? Or updating an event or some other kind of campaign in another section of the corporate Website? I feel for those IT guys!

A Web-based content management system greatly simplifies the publication process and relieves the pressure on your IT department. A straightforward Web browser interface means anyone can quickly post content and upload multimedia files, and it keeps everything in the correct format via templates.

Once again, I’d strongly suggest that you don’t go it alone; enlist the help of a company that specializes in the implementation of content management systems to ensure you end up with the correct solution for your company. It is interesting to note that DPCI also implements Web content management systems, so in essence, they’re a one-stop shop for organizations’ content technology needs. They’ve got a good reputation in the marketplace, and to my way of thinking, if they do a good job its easier to work with a single consulting firm than multiple ones.

My name is Dan Manson: I run a multitude of websites and blogs. After using fragmented content systems for so long, I chose to get help with a professional content management system. When reviewing the digital asset management strategy, I found the best solution is truly in the form of an integrated system that functions as the single source of truth.

Content Management Systems Boost Website Productivity

admin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:36:39 +0000

If you own a website, then a content management system (CMS) can make your job a whole lot easier, as it can add or update information, whether it has 10 pages or 10.000 pages. A content management system is a tool that enables you to manage the pages that make up your website. With a CMS program, you will be able to create, edit, publish, update and archive your website’s content and what’s most importantly, you can do all these without any help from your web designer. Maybe the most popular and easy to use CMS is WordPress.

Here are the most common publishing uses for a CMS:

In case you’re wondering whether a CMS will benefit you, well, here are some questions that will give you an idea of whether a content management system would be good your business:

·         Do you need your web designer to update text and images on your website on a regular basis?

·         Do you fully depend on your web designer to keep your website up to date with all the activities in your business, like new product releases, price changes or marketing campaigns?

·         Do you feel that the maintenance price you are paying your website designer is getting higher and higher?

·         Are you becoming frustrated that some of the content on your website is obsolete or inaccurate?

·         Do you ever miss business opportunities by not being able to add timely or topical content in response to changes in your market?

If you answer “Yes” to one or more of these questions, you should use a CMS to update your website. And if you are still not convinced, here are your direct benefits of a CMS:

1.      Lower costs for website maintenance

The immediate benefit of using a content management system is cost reduction. Updating your own website yourself, rather than paying a website designer to do all the changes on your behalf, will save you lots of money. When you start using a CMS you will usually pay a fixed charge that does not vary with the number of changes you make to your web page. So, the more you use your content management system, the lower the cost per change becomes. On the other hand, every time your web designer makes changes on your behalf, he will charge you for each change, meanings that the cost per change is never reduced.

Businesses that choose to use a content management system for their website always expect to increase their productivity and improve the web ROI (Return on Investment) by improving the quality of the web and intranet content. In order to calculate the ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment and the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio. In simple terms, the formula for ROI is

(Profit – Investment)Investment

Return on investment is a very popular way to measure your benefit, because of being so easy to use and implement. In other words, if your investment doesn’t have a positive return on investment percentage, or if you can find other businesses with a higher ROI, then your investment should be not be undertaken.

2.      Timely and updated content

As previously stated, a CMS enables you to make immediate changes to your website. Perhaps you’ll want to upload certain infos at a particular time of year, Christmas or Valentine’s for instance, or maybe you want to show something at a time that’s in sync with a particular event like the World Cup or the elections. Many content management systems allow you to set a particular start and an end date for your content, plus your CMS could automatically remove the details of each event from your website as soon as it is no longer of interest.

Search engines simply love fresh content added on a regular basis. Think about it: updated web content, including keywords phrases relevant to your niche market – you will definitely boost your chances of search engine exposure and this will increase traffic on your website.

All these being said, you probably convinced yourself of how much help a CMS could bring to your business and how it could boost your website’s effectiveness by offering your visitors timely, fresh and appealing content. Undoubtedly, a content management system will help you improve your website content, making your customers keep coming back for more valuable information and you can rely on it as a regular source of business opportunities.
