Tips from Tech Support: 2012 IT Technology Stimulus Package!

The Utility View newsletter’s Tech Tip is generally used to give Small & Medium-sized Business (SMB) owners a nugget of information that will help them use their existing technology more effectively, thereby echoing our corporate vision of how SMBs should consume technology.  With the holiday season rapidly approaching, we’d like to give a different kind of tip.  Business owners and employees all have families… so we'd like to share a festive technology tip for you to share with a young (or young at heart) family members as you hopefully get to take a break from business. 

  • Send a fun, personalized video or audio message from Santa in seconds: www.sendacallfromsanta.com

  • if you are still in need of a quick gift for the Techie in your office or your life, CRN has a list of the Top 10 Apps you can purchase/download - see them HERE.

  • And for those of you with a good sense of humour and/or are in very desperate need for terrible ideas for your family portrait/Christmas Card you might want to check out this holiday-themed Awkward Family Photos

  • Also, as you are scrambling to finish everything and leave the office form holidays, don't forget to turn on your Out Of Office Assistant in Outlook. If you can't remember how to do it, please see our Tech Tip archived article here: http://www.theutilitycompany.com/dox/TUV-2008-06.pdf

Whether you enjoy your holiday with technology, or without, we’d like to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season from all of us at The Utility Company headquarters and from all of our local Utility Service Provider franchisees.

Cheers,
The Utility Company
