Dispatch from the Head Sherpa

As our clients and colleagues upgrade their systems, we're often asked about what they can do with the old equipment. And we always, ask, have you thought about electronics recycling? It is secure, it can be low-cost or free, and you know your items won't end up in a landfill.

Dispatch from the Head Sherpa

Fall is undeniably our busiest time here at Sherpa HQ, and for good reason. This quarter, we’re focusing on helping our clients get ready for the end of support of Windows XP. At twelve years old, this is the OS that most of us Windows users know the best (and love for business!).

Arguably one of the greatest operating systems Microsoft has ever released, XP will not have any future programming support officially by April 8th, 2014. If you’re running a desktop or laptop with XP, you could face vulnerabilities if you don’t update your machine to a newer system.

Gearing up for another busy fall season!

Greetings everyone!

Hope you have had a pleasant and relaxing summer! Here at Sherpa HQ, we’ve been ramping up our activities in anticipation of a very busy fall season. Our client projects are almost ready to roll (see our Sherpa sightings) and we’re preparing for our annual appearances at some of the area’s great marketing and technology events.

Dispatch from Base Camp – Annual 5K Run

Hi Everyone!

Jess H here for Greg – I get to take over the newsletter once a year to let you know that once again, Team Sherpa is going to be running and walking in the Delaware KIDS Fund 5K!

If you haven’t heard, this is a great non-profit that helps kids in our area by providing much-needed support, like food, clothing, shelter, counseling, mentorships and even educational grants.

If you have been following our dispatches for 2013, you know that we’ve been covering a lot of ground in business technology – creating a wish list, budgeting for needed upgrades, even preparing for environmental factors and business continuity. However, we don’t want to lose focus on the driving factor for our technology – YOU, the user.
