HIPAA compliance should be taken very seriously, as violations can carry civil or even

Now that we’ve got some practice under our belts, it’s a good time to think about how to improve on what you are already doing. We chatted with some of our clients who have been remote working for years, and this is some of the best advice that they shared. Remote Work Ground Rules   Remote teams lose many of the visual clues that foster communication when everyone’s in the

Live reception services.

Working from home has gained a lot of acceptance in the last decade, and that acceptance has recently accelerated due to the coronavirus outbreak. What started as a very rare option that was available to only a select few workers is now something that is mandatory for most knowledge-workers as cities go on lockdown and organizations implement social distancing protocols. While working from home offers a variety of benefits, it can be challenging at first as people figure out how to juggle home distractions with getting work done.

By: Alon Cohen and friends at Phone.com   Over the last few days, several people have come to me with ideas on using a mobile app or backend cellular data to help the world fight the coronavirus and maybe even future viruses. My sister had the least invasive idea, while my dad from Israel is sure that Israel is already using cellular technology to help fight COVID-19. After our conversations, an idea emerged, and I’d like to share it.    The main problem with the coronavirus (Covid-19), as we are told, is not that it kills everyone infected (it is
