Ensuring that a company could continue day-to-day operations in the face of a large-scale disruption to its information technology (IT) infrastructure is a critical yet often overlooked or underemphasized component of a company’s business plan in what is an increasingly risk-prone, technology-dependent global business environment. Procuring and testing the computer rentals, server rentals and critical systems that would be necessary to ensure business continuity for a company that (unlike many of the largest and most technology dependent companies) does not have a dedicated alternate disaster recovery site in place is perhaps one of the easiest and most efficient ways for …

One of the most overlooked ways to save money is examining your utility costs and in particular, your telephone bill. Many companies happily pay this without examining where the costs are arising. Pareto Law kicks in, and whilst most people worry about the 80% of calls, it is the 20% that hides 80% of the costs. This is normally calls from the office to mobiles. So if you really want to home in on costs, cut the calls to and from mobiles, it is as simple as that! It is not unreasonable to also put a limit on how much you will contribute towards staff mobile phone costs and ban unreasonable levels of mobile to mobile/fixed personal calls.
Most telephone systems will allow selective call barring so a simple way to cut mobile calls, is to have all your essential mobile numbers located in the central dialling memory and bar all others. Do not shoot yourself in the foot by overdoing this though. Your system supplier should be able to do this remotely for a nominal fee. Whilst you having the system reprogrammed, have premium numbers (09XX) barred unless you are happy to pay £1.50 per minute! If you are using a non BT provider, you may find their off peak mobile rates are higher than BT so you can always ask for your LCR (Least Cost Routing) to be programmed to send mobile calls off peak to BT or another carrier instead of the daytime provider. Also, consider a call management package. These are usually PC based and cost from £300 upwards, which can quickly be recovered in savings. If your system can provide extension number data to your call provider, you may be able to get this in an Excel format to analyse manually with your bill. Not all of them can do this though. A really simple option is to get your call data output sent from the system to a printer or PC. Most systems have a call logging port but it may need to be turned on by an engineer so get this done whilst programming any of the other options. If you have the time, get an itemised bill and pick out the numbers with high call costs.
Let everyone know that you are homing in on call costs, particularly personal calls to mobiles as this will have an instant effect. How many of your staff have a little chat with their girlfriend/boyfriend during the day? A 10 minute call will cost you over £1. If 5 people do this over a month and every day it is easy to see where savings can be made. Install a payphone which can attach to an extension of your system and they will have no excuses and you are complying with your employer obligations to allow personal calls.
Check how many lines you have on your system or in the building. It is surprising how many could be sitting there doing nothing other than attracting a nice hefty charge per quarter. Also, if you have 20 people, do you need 10 ISDN channels or lines? Are 10 people on the telephone at any one time?

Biometrics is the study of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon physical or behavioral traits. There are many ways it is used for including face, fingerprint, hand and iris recognition. Since this technology is still relativity new, it has problems that all new technologies share.
