  • Ditch The Old Server

    Join us for a webinar on Thursday, September 14th, 2023 at 1:00 PM CST.

    How old is your server? How old is the server equipment? If you’ve had it 5, 6, or even 7 years, you have been blessed! Aging server equipment can bring a whole list of problems, from less efficient power use, poor performance with new or upgraded software, security risks, and everything in between (it’s a looong list).

    So, you know you need to get rid of the old equipment, but what are your options? For years this was a very straightforward question – you just replace the existing equipment with new equipment. Get the specs, estimate how much more drive space you’ll need to ‘grow,’ order the new equipment, software, licenses, cabling, and start scheduling the downtime to swap everything out and move your data and software programs. BUT, the world has changed – you have MORE options.

    We’ll cover how to know that your equipment is ready to go to server-heaven, the pros, and cons of replacing the existing infrastructure, the pros and cons of moving to a cloud solution, and the pros and cons of different hosting options. If you have servers in your office or you own the equipment in a data center, you won’t want to miss this important 45 minutes. Don’t get stuck with indecision and don’t make the wrong decision. We’ll tell you everything you need to know to make the RIGHT decision!

  • Each year (and sometimes more than once a year), unions publish new rate and benefit sheets with specific start dates. There is a very methodical process in Sage 100 Contractor that allows you to get all the reports you need for the old rates, get the new rates updated in one place, then push to the employee default hourly rate, and make sure the next reports are right for the union – without over paying for a few days of overlap!

    AND, we’ll review how Job Paygroups work. You can actually indicate which Paygroups are to be used on a specific job. This could save you a lot of time!

    Join Catherine Wendt for a 45-minute review of this process, including tips and tricks. Registration is required – seats are limited.

    If you have payroll with union employees or you use paygroups for prevailing wage jobs through Sage 100 Contractor, you need this webinar!

  • Teams Voice – What it is (and isn’t)

    How old is your cell phone? With that number in mind, how old are the phones in your office?! Can I just say ‘Wow’!!

    When clients ask questions about moving to Voice over IP (VoIP), Teams Voice, I hear a lot of questions like:

    • Can I keep an office number?
    • What about voice mail? How does that work?
    • After-hours messages, holiday messages – how do these work?
    • We need after-hours emergency routing to field personnel; can that be done?
    • What if I want a physical phone to answer and transfer calls? What’s available and how does that work? What about our staff that does NOT want a physical phone?
    • It’s so expensive to buy everyone a new phone; what are the options?
    • How do people call me if my phones are over the internet?
    • And more just like this!

    I get it! We tried a VoIP provider several years ago – it was so disappointing. So what changed? Why reconsider moving to Teams Phones?

    Well, that is EXACTLY what we’re going to talk about and share in this 45-minute webinar. We’ve heard your questions (we had many of the same ones!) and with experience under our belt, we’re ready to share what this is all about AND answer your questions! We have some great stories to share, as well.

    You’ll want to join us Thursday February 16th at 1:00 Central time where we’ll cover what this solution is (and isn’t) and why we recommend you take a serious look at making this change, either now, or in the near future.

    Can’t wait to have you join us!

  • Aatrix for Electronic Filing

    Our Goal: Bring an educational webinar to our clients featuring Aatrix tax filing services and how Aatrix can help them meet the new electronic filing requirements that the States have mandated, as well as Federal electronic filing options.

    We are excited to have Aatrix present their services to you and look forward to hosting a great webinar packed full of information. Ryan Hagen, Vice President of Sales with Aatrix, will share their electronic payroll tax filing service, how it works and what it costs (we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised), followed by a Q&A session that we’ll moderate. You won’t want to miss this!

    If you haven’t been following the news, many of the states are mandating electronic filing of monthly, quarterly, and now annual payroll reports. Sage does not create the electronic files to upload. However, Aatrix, the company that provides all the reports in the S100C payroll tax report section, has a service that is fully integrated with S100C and they can file electronically on your behalf. Aatrix will share what they have, how it works, and what it costs.

    There’s no charge for this very informative webinar. It’s our goal at Syscon to bring solutions that streamline your payroll-related processes. We look forward to having you join us as we host our friends at Aatrix on Thursday December 15th at 1:00 Central time!
