eMazzanti Secures Snowmaking System at Sochi Olympics
Microsoft’s 2012 Partner of the Year provides security solution

Hoboken, New Jersey ­ (Vocus) Feb, 2014 – eMazzanti Technologies, an international consulting and information technology company based in the New York City Metro area, is playing an important role in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games by securing one of its most important ingredients—snow. Reliant on what Mother Nature can’t always provide, artificial snowmakers play a pivotal role. In an effort to prevent the system from falling victim to tampering andcyber threats, eMazzanti was selected to protect the machines and allow planners to insure that there would be plenty of snow for the games.  Read more →

Windows XP: Time is running out, are you ready?
used with the permission of HTS

One of the most popular and longest lived Microsoft operating systems that we all know and love, Windows XP, has almost run its course. The clock is ticking… And on April 8, 2014, Windows XP will officially be “dead”, with no more extended support, and—more importantly—no more security patches. Hopefully, this news does not come as a surprise, as Microsoft has foretold the fate of XP since its release back in 2001.

Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP and Small Business Server 2003 so it’s time to make the change to ensure you remain on supported versions of Windows and Office.

Choosing between Windows 7 or 8.1
used with permission from HP Technology at Work

It may be the dead of winter, but harbingers of spring abound, including increasing daylight hours and the start of baseball’s spring training. Like the crack of the bat and the season’s first daffodils, April 8th—the day on which Microsoft® officially stops supporting its third-generation technology Windows XP operating system—will also be here before you know it.

As we’ve previously discussed, businesses that put off upgrading to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 will not only miss out on powerful new features, they’ll also waste time and money on custom Microsoft or third party services to support an obsolete system prone to cyber attack. The question then isn’t whether to replace XP, but rather what to replace it with.

Continuing the Windows 8 vision with Windows 8.1
used with permission from Microsoft
by Antoine Leblond

Before we launched Windows 7, we envisioned what the next version of Windows would need to deliver. We made a bet that the PC landscape and industry would undergo a significant transformation driven by an increase in mobility. That bet underscores the changes we made with Windows 8 – it’s a generational leap forward.

We built Windows 8 for a world where touch is a first class interaction model, the same as mouse and keyboard; and where there’s a proliferation of innovative and diverse devices that are highly mobile, always on the go and always connected. Windows 8 was built on the reality that the lines between our work and personal lives have blurred.
