When I watch Grammarly and Microsoft's built-in grammar tools overlap and battle each other for the proper correction in my proposal document... I just want to be grammatically correct; I don't care which one wins. #govcon #proposals

The Leading Question: “How fast can it be done?” Speed is what everyone seeks when launching a new tech stack, and at GridBase®, it’s more than a goal—it's our starting line. The product evolution from ideation to proof-of-concept, and then to MVP, has always revolved around this question: “How fast can it be done?”   As we rapidly tackle our stacked 2024 onboards, the immediate post-contract question becomes: "How fast can it be implemented?" This has become a crucial ask during the sales cycle. For me, building a tech stack on a modern, highly scalable architecture was one of the key objectives with GridBase; the other was ensuring easy implementation.   So, I confidently set the expectation with our clients that we can have your tech up and running in under 30 days! Here’s how we do it. It's a discipline, not just technology: Kickoff Meeting: Right from the start, we engage with your team to grasp your operational workflows. This meeting sets the stage for clear goals and expectations, aligning every step with your strategic scope. Custom Configuration: Our tech isn't one-size-fits-all. From detailed order management workflows to intricate fee calculations, our discovery sessions are designed to enhance and integrate seamlessly with your existing workflow, ensuring it enhances, not interrupts. Seamless Integration: We are already plugged into your existing production systems (LOS or TPS), making GridBase activation a matter of configuration—no new code needed to get started. Training and Support: Adoption is key to transformation. Our team sticks around to ensure your team is fully trained and comfortable. From virtual classroom style to hands-on, mock parallel training sessions, we prepare your staff for every scenario. Go-Live Support: Launch days are crucial, and our support team is all hands on deck to ensure everything runs smoothly. We handle the hiccups so you can focus on getting your job done. We may not always get it right, but our focus is on making adoption seamless and swift, continuously refining and improving the process for each client. At GridBase, our mission is to ensure technology complements and accommodates the end-user workflow, not the other way around. Next stop: National Settlement Services Summit May 21 – 23. Stop by for an in-person demo and share your technology onboarding experiences! #NS32024 #GridBase®

One of the most crucial steps in getting your MSP ready for sale is due diligence. Sure, everyone wants to grow their business. But the real question is whether or not your business is actually ready to grow. Simply put: Don’t head to the bargaining table unless your numbers are in proper order. When the mob of accountants, lawyers, and tax experts check your closet for skeletons, the bottom line is that they’re making sure that all risks, liabilities and any sudden surprises are avoided. It's about making your business as attractive as possible to potential buyers, which means optimizing operations, solidifying your customer base, and showcasing a strong growth trajectory—all of which will reflect in your numbers. There’s no substitute for preparation, and the payoff is only as good as the effort you invest. Send me a message. Let’s get your business ready to grow. #DueDilligence #Leadership #Preparation #BusinessGrowth

IMPORTANT: The comment period is now open for you to submit comments to the DEA regarding the rescheduling of c*nnabis. I encourage everyone to submit a comment. Review the “comment checklist” on the web portal to ensure your comment gets serious consideration. You can also request an “administrative hearing” which, if granted by the DEA, is an opportunity for you to defend your comment in a hearing with documentation, expert witnesses, and science. Not everyone should request a hearing but all of us should submit a comment, especially if you support Descheduling not Rescheduling (like me). https://lnkd.in/g9BxTkcz https://lnkd.in/gP7DzSiN

With Hurricane Helene blazing a path in the Gulf, even though South Florida isn’t in its direct path, small businesses must prepare for the indirect effects. Here are some critical steps to take to safeguard your business: 1. Secure Your Premises – Protect windows with shutters or plywood, clear outdoor areas of any loose items, and ensure your building is structurally secure. 2. Back Up Important Data – Ensure that all critical business data is backed up to the cloud or offsite storage to prevent loss from power outages or damage. 3. Review Insurance Coverage – Check your business insurance policy to understand what’s covered in the event of hurricane-related damage, and consider flood insurance if applicable. 4. Create an Emergency Plan – Develop a communication and operational plan for employees and customers, ensuring everyone knows what steps to take before, during, and after the storm. 5. Stay Updated – Monitor local weather channels and government advisories to stay informed on hurricane updates and any potential changes in its path. By preparing now, you can minimize the impact of the storm and ensure your business bounces back quickly. #HurricanePreparedness #SmallBusinessSafety #StaySafe #blackowned #blackownedbusinesses #supportblackbusinesses #supportourcommunity #sofloblackpages #shopblackownedbusinesses

Do your favored news sources publish corrections? How they handle mistakes, which are inevitable, is a good indication of their commitment to the truth. Fox walks a fine line, making false headline claims and burying retractions. “……this gets to the tension that has undergirded the channel in the past decade: Is its mandate to retain viewers or to report the news? The former means amplifying and backstopping claims made by Donald Trump in order not to alienate them. (They saw the dangers that posed in the aftermath of the 2020 election.) Since Trump is so consistently dishonest, though, that means amplifying and defending false claims, which is the opposite of reporting the news.” Interested in other examples of corrections from Fox and elsewhere.

Preparing Your Electronics for Hurricane Milton! As Hurricane Milton approaches, TEK Cloud Solutions wants to ensure the safety of your electronics. The storm season can pose risks to your devices, but with the right precautions, you can mitigate potential damage and data loss. Here are some expert tips from TEK Cloud Solutions to safeguard your electronics: Back Up Your Data Regularly Protect your important files by backing them up to a secure cloud service or an external hard drive. In case of any hardware failure during the storm, your data will remain safe. Unplug and Move Electronics Before the storm hits, unplug all electronics and move them to higher ground to avoid potential water damage. Water and electricity do not mix well! Invest in Surge Protectors Use surge protectors to safeguard your devices against power surges during thunderstorms. They can help prevent damage caused by electrical fluctuations. Elevate Your Equipment If you are in a flood-prone area, move your electronics to higher ground to avoid water damage. Secure Important Documents Keep physical copies of important documents in a waterproof container. For digital documents, ensure they are backed up and accessible from multiple devices. Prepare for Power Outages Have a plan in place for extended power outages. This may include having backup batteries or a generator to keep essential devices running. Stay Informed and Stay Safe Monitor weather updates and evacuation notices to ensure your safety during the hurricane. Your well-being is a top priority.
