But, once you begin to use the tabs you discover how much easier it is to access all of the commands. But, what many people don’t know is that you can customize the Ribbon to include all of the commands you use most frequently. You can organize everything onto one tab or move around commands so they are easier for you to find. Below we explain how to customize the Ribbon to make it most effective for you so you can be more productive at work! Continue Reading >>
Never Miss a Word With the Hot New Recording Artist - Livescribe
 The Launch Pad team members participated in a meeting that was so choc-a-block full of useful information they decided they should share what they learned. Normally that would entail preparing a brief from the detailed meeting notes and then scheduling a follow up meeting to discuss what they heard. Fortunately, Shon, our Business Office Manager took notes using her Livescribe Smartpen and was able to “pencast” the meeting and effortlessly share her notes and an audio recording of the presentation.

Tips & Tricks to Pimp Your Next PowerPoint Presentation
 In the pursuit of innovating business processes many SMBs are turning to cloud applications that will allow them to mobilize their workforce and run their business in the cloud. With the introduction of Office 365, Microsoft is offering the Microsoft Office suite of desktop applications and hosted versions of Microsoft’s Server products (including Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and Lync Server), delivered and accessed via the cloud.
