Pardoned turkeys give sales tax the bird

It’s an annual tradition for the President of the United States to pardon a turkey at Thanksgiving. Which president started the trend is up for debate, but White House history dates the first turkey clemency to 1865, when Abraham Lincoln’s son took a liking to a bird intended for Christmas dinner.

How to Setup Automatic Signatures in Outlook

I get e-mails from way too many companies that have no signature and no phone number which makes it harder for me to give them a call back. At my last company, the CFO was typing in his signature on emails all the time.

3 tips for online sellers about drop shipping and sales taxes

Drop shipping can be a big boon for online sellers, especially small businesses that don’t have the funds or space to stock up on and store inventory. With drop shipping, sellers can take orders from customers for an item and then turn around and order that item from a supplier, which then ships it to the customer. The seller doesn’t have to handle the physical item at all, the customer gets his or her order, and everyone’s happy.

How to Choose a Password That is Secure and Easy to Remember

A good analogy for a password is a lock on your front door. It is the first line of defense of protecting your valuables. Hardly anyone would argue against a lock on their door and we’ve come to (reluctantly) accept that access to the resources stored on our computers which hold valuable information should be afforded similar protections.

Why I Don’t Trust Expensive ERP Discovery Studies

I hate it when companies are over-sold by a salesperson. In my experience, one of the most guaranteed ways to buy more than you need is to pay for an expensive discovery report before you buy Dynamics GP. I just met with a distribution company using Microsoft Dynamics GP. They had paid $12,000 to a large Dynamics GP partner for a “business analysis”.  I saw a copy of the report. I was not impressed.  Now, almost 2 years later this company is way over budget and they are still not where they should be at this point.
