As a user, I do not require my technology to be friendly but I do need it to be polite.
Please give me instructions that are accurate and well translated from their country of origin. The errors I have encountered to date are often entertaining but strain my confidence in the new and improved item.
One set of instructions gushed that the software was "garanted" so that nothing could go "wron". My career life flashed before my eyes. Another company angling to get my money boasted about its "shrewed" software. While the shrew may be fascinating, as one of the world's smallest mammals, the brochure did not inspire me to take out my credit card.
Like many female users, I want the latest and the greatest technology to be like my new fridge. Plug it in and it is instantly energy efficient, environmentally friendly and ready to deliver cold drinks. I do not want to understand it on a molecular level!
I want technology to save me time and energy and most importantly - simplify my life.
It should enhance the professionalism of my company and be virtually carefree.
I have recently learned that an easy, effective and affordable solution does indeed exist! Award-winning Keating Technologies Inc., known for representing some of the more prominent U.S. technology brands in Canada, now offers a programme called No Panic Computing*. The programme gives small and medium sized independent businesses the power and security of a corporate computing solution.
First you receive a notebook computer with the most current Microsoft business software preinstalled. The computer is guarded by a security system that updates automatically to protect your data from a variety of viruses and malware. The programme contains the highest level of data encryption and data auto-destruction in case your computer is lost or stolen. A recovery mechanism is included to restore any missing data or programmes.
The customer service is also impressive! If the notebook computer is damaged, lost, stolen, or needs more than three repairs - it will be replaced. Keating's technical support is free of charge, unlimited, 24/7 and worldwide.
On approved credit the programme costs $129.95 per month for a 36-month lease. Once the lease has expired, you can buy the notebook, or simply sign a new lease and receive a new fully loaded notebook. In addition, should you be totally dissatisfied with the notebook or the service during the lease period, Keating will take back the notebook, release you from the payments and settle matters with the leasing company.
The technically inclined may read all of this and scoff, believing they could purchase the individual components for less - perhaps by running around, bargaining and waiting for things to be in stock. However, they will also appreciate the time and energy that the No Panic Computing programme will free up so they can focus on increasing profit and growth in their businesses. Quite frankly, I believe that the total cost of doing it on your own would be substantially more and then you would indeed be on your own, no support or back up.
Whether your business is new and creating its first success or already well established and preparing for its next success, No Panic Computing is simple, secure and cost-effective.
I am delighted that Keating is offering a programme discount to participants in Women Like Me, The Women's Business & Networking Directory, 10th Edition. Participants will receive their first month free when they sign up for No Panic Computing.
To support the Networking Rebate allocations for The Margaret Fund Keating has generously offered a thank-you reward of 6 months free of No Panic Computing (no lease required) to the person directing the most rebates to The Margaret Fund. I can't imagine giving up the programme after six months of peaceful efficient computing! The recipient will be announced at the launch of the 10th Edition.
