Let’s face it. In small business, Microsoft had us at “hello.” Let’s get nostalgic for a moment. In tech time, we don’t have to backtrack too far, just to 2003 when Microsoft’s Windows Small Business Server was the popular go-to operating system for businesses with 75 employees or fewer.
IT managed services firm MySherpa promoted Ethan Tancredi from VP of Operations to President Sherpa to oversee all daily operations and employees at MySherpa.
He joined MySherpa in 2005 and has held various positions through the company’s growth.
Tancredi is highly valued for his keen ability to relate to clients and decipher their IT needs, leading to their satisfaction with the company’s work.

It seems that even the most innocuous machines in the workplace can serve as a security threat to companies.

This means that everything from mundane memos to your most sensitive information such as financial statements and contracts are stored – and could potentially extracted. So the next time you dispose of a copy machine, if you’re not sure what’s stored on it and how to get it off – give us a call to help out. To see the news report, watch this video.
