Workopolis National Work From Home Day

Grant's Perspective on ... telecommuting.

I noticed that Workopolis is encouraging companies to let employees telecommute to work once a week.

"We spend a lot of time and money getting to and from work each day, not to mention the environmental strain and stress that comes with commuting," Kelly Dixon, president of Workopolis, said in a statement. "Today, working from home is a viable option for many. We need to continue to promote the benefits of telecommuting and encourage more flexible working arrangements for Canadian workers."

With the technological advances in videoconferencing this is a real possibility. You can see the person that you are talking with and easily share computer screens and files.

Our website has a simple calculator (you do not have to give us your contact info to try). You check either US Dollar, British pound or Euro and then enter the price of gas, miles per gallon (or kilometers per litre, depending on currency) and distance you commute and your results are calculated.

Give us a call if you want to learn more about videoconferencing.

I know that technology can help you be more productive and enjoy a better quality of life. I know I could not service all my clients in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and still be home to have dinner and the evening with my kids without it.

Wireless Microphones and Canadian UHF Spectrum Changes

Grant's Perspective on ... will your existing wireless microphone work after the Canadian UHF spectrum changes kick in?

We have been seeing tons of advertising about the analog to digital conversion for people that use rabbit ears and antennas to watch television.

I wanted to mention that some wireless microphone users also face some government changes to available wireless microphone frequencies.

If you have a wireless microphone system, you need to check if your microphone's frequency is ok or if you need to make a change. 

TOA Canada has a change overview and a list of their wireless microphone systems that will be affected by the change.

Contact us if you need any help with this issue.

Bill Livolsi awarded the Epson PowerLite Pro G5450WUNL LCD projector a perfect 5 stars on the basis of performance, features, ease of use and value.

 
Overall, reviewer Bill Livolsi was extremely impressed with the projector noting that it “sets the standard for high-resolution projection,” and pointing out features such as the “superb picture with excellent sharpness, depth and clarity,” color performance and connectivity. 

Bill says the Epson G5450 is "ideal for medium-sized conference rooms and classrooms. Its suite of features makes it a great choice for installation across a business's meeting rooms or a school's smaller lecture halls, while its accurate color makes it perfect for photography, art, and other applications where color accuracy is critical.”

As an Epson dealer in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta it is always great to see glowing reviews of the projectors that we represent.
