    SW Visit eEmpACT at Staffing World 2006

    In less than one week, staffing professionals from all over the world will gather in Las Vegas for the Annual American Staffing Association Conference & Expo. If you're planning to attend, you might want to take a minute and do a little bit of planning and research to see how you can make the best use of your time (aside from any time at the slot machines, of course). All gambling thoughts aside though, what are your main objectives for attending? What vendors might provide you relevant and important information to the products/services your firm might be in the market for?

    With hundreds of vendors exhibiting, it's unlikely you will hit them all, so make a list of the ones worth your time. If staffing software is on your list, we encourage you to stop by the Bond eEmpACT booth (#519) to learn about the newest front and back office features our staffing software offers. With a brand new General Ledger and improved eConnect Web Portal capabilites, eEmpACT is a robust solution that meets all of your staffing needs. In addition, the software's recent integration with InstaStaff allows users to fill orders faster than ever before with state-of-the-art communication technologies. See how your staffing business can be more competitive and improve efficiencies- check it all out at eEmpACT booth #519.

    North bridge staffing Customer Highlight: North Bridge Staffing Group
    Learn how a Chicago-based staffing business utiltizes eEmpACT

    North Bridge Staffing Group recently visited Minneapolis for some additional general training to better utilize their eEmpACT system. In business for four years, the successful staffing firm has 10 employees and has been using eEmpACT since it's opening in Chicago in 2002. With an average of 175 checks per week, North Bridge does a variety of staffing including administrative, HR, legal, accounting and finance.

    With the additional training, Staffing Specialist Lindsay Biggins hopes to expand her exisiting knowledge of eEmpACT and build on that by using more advanced functions in the system. "Increasing communication between employees on orders, candidates and clients is very important," said Biggins. "We can also build better relationships with candidates and clients by documenting history notes."

    eEmpACT is built to increase productivity and efficiency for staffing business, and Biggins noted that brushing up on advanced searches, career order processes and skills matching were especially beneficial during her training time in Minnesota. We wish North Bridge continued success! If you are an eEmpACT Customer and interested in additional training opportunities please call Jennifer Palmer at 800-456-5660, ext. 254 or send her an email.

    Windows Vista Windows Vista- What does it mean for eEmpACT Users?
    New Microsoft operating system scheduled to launch Q1 2007

    You may have heard of it, and you may have not: Windows Vista. What the heck is it? And how will it effect your eEmpACT system? As a user, both are valid questions. To ease minds and answer some common questions you might have, we thought we'd take a few minutes to explain how Microsoft's new operating system could affect eEmpACT users in the future...and as you'll discover, probably not for quite a while.

    The Microsoft Vista Web site states that the new operating system will be released in early 2007. That being said, the fury to migrate to Vista will be slow. And the good news is that your eEmpACT system will work just the same as it does now on your current operating system. "As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we have worked closely with Microsoft this year to ensure that eEmpACT Version 13 will run on Windows Vista without a hitch," said Shane Tinnin, eEmpACT VP of Development and Support. "In addition, eEmpACT 14 (available early next year) will be optimized to take advantage of many of Vista's new features. We want to assure eEmpACT users that when they do eventually switch to Vista, whether it's in one year or five years, eEmpACT will migrate over to the new system without complications."

    So as your business continues to grow in the coming years and you need to upgrade and purchase new computers that will come standard with Vista, you can be rest assured that eEmpACT is ready to work with the latest Microsoft technologies.

    Adapting to changing technologies

    Nine times out of 10, we don't like change. We're creatures of habit and we like what is familiar to us. That is especially true when thinking of technology. Furthermore, those of us who didn't grow up playing educational computer games by the time we were two years old often have greater difficulty adapting to and accepting new technological advances, even when it might increase our productivity and efficiency. Luckily, being part of an industry that thrives on new technology might convince us change is not so bad after all, no matter what era you were born.

    So why all the focus on change? As already discussed in the Windows Vista article above, it's important to be mindful about how Microsoft's new upcoming roll-out of Vista will impact all of us someday. But as most big changes usually go, it will happen slowly. And most likely you'll be ready and perhaps even welcome the new change. When you think about it, Microsoft has not released a new operating system since XP more than five years ago. That's quite awhile for constantly changing technology.

    So as you're starting to hear more about Vista, we hope your staffing business will be ready for a new change, whenever the time comes. If nothing else, you can at least count on your eEmpACT system working with Microsoft's ever- changing technology, which will greatly ease any headaches associated with implementing a new operating system; you know your data will be secure.
