Year-end Technology Purchases Can Yield a Hefty Tax Deduction

Small businesses use section 179 to deduct the full value of computers and software purchased in 2014, up to $25,000

Almost every small business needs PCs, servers, printers, network gear, data security hardware or software. Fortunately, Section 179 of the tax code lets small businesses write off the entire cost of computer equipment and off-the-shelf software purchased and put in use before December 31, 2014.

Small Business Technology Savings

Intended specifically for small businesses, the Section 179 deduction can have the effect of reducing the cost of technology purchased by as much as $25,000. In addition, special offers may be available on particular items. Contact eMazzanti sales for details.

Examples of items that may qualify for the deduction: Read more →

Windows Server 2003/R2 End of Support Is Coming

used with permission from Microsoft

Your Opportunity for Transformation

In July 2010, Microsoft transitioned from providing mainstream support for Windows Server 2003 to releasing critical patches only. July 14, 2015 marks another transition, this time the end of Microsoft support for Windows Server 2003/R2. While this date may seem distant, now is the time to understand that the end of support and the end of life of Windows Server 2003 means that your business needs to ensure that it has a plan to migrate the applications and workloads currently relying on Windows Server 2003 onto Windows Server 2012 R2 or Microsoft Azure.

Take a Proactive Approach to Data Security to Boost Holiday Shoppers’ Confidence

Retailers are always on the lookout for ways to boost holiday sales. A NYC area data security expert with hundreds of retail customers suggests that a proactive data security approach will help retailers avoid a data security breach and also has the potential to increase business if they tell customers about their advanced data security technology.

Data security is on everyone’s minds. Recently released statistics highlight the challenge that retailers face after this year’s flood of high-profile data security breaches and ongoing security threats to stores and their customers:
