Equifax is one of the three large credit bureaus in the United States. Financial institutions use credit bureau data to make credit decisions. On September 7th, Equifax announced that its systems were breached for 143 million Americans! This breach includes personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses, etc.

Remember when you signed up for that new, personal cell phone or a T1 data circuit for your business? There was probably a really good promotion that created compelling value to select that service. Fast-forward 24 months and, chances are, there could be an even better value awaiting you at renewal—but will you know?

Knowing when each contract expires and scheduling the renewal evaluation with ample time before your contract expires is the key to saving big.

Hello Sherpa Fans,

We’re almost through with winter, and we here at Base Camp are eagerly anticipating the arrival of warm spring weather. But with spring also comes April 8th, the date that marks the end of support for Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office 2003. Are you ready?

Wait – before you make the change to a new OS, double check that your printers or other peripherals have the ability to talk to a Windows 7 or 8 machine! You don’t want to invest in a great new computer, only to find out it doesn’t talk to your other technology anymore.

Greg and Patricia, our fearless leaders.

Just in time for the holidays, the nasty CryptoLocker is rearing its ugly head on computers near you. What is it? It’s a brand of malware, known as “ransomware”. What does it do? It comes in via emails that appear to be from Fedex, UPS, Wells Fargo, American Express and other big name corporations.
