Communicator
Business
What’s most valuable to your business?
As RTC’s Human
Resource Manager, my first response—not surprisingly—would be, “our employees.”
I suspect you feel the same way about the talented and dedicated people who work at
your business.
Following close behind on the list of valuable things, however, would likely be your data.
Which is why this issue of
Business Communicator
looks at the topic of data security from
two angles. On page 3, we ask the question
How Safe is Your Data?
and explain
Online
Backup vs. Online Storage
. On page 7, we remind you that
Hackers Don’t Cause All
Security Breaches
and offer strategies to guard against other threats.
You’ll find a Business Spotlight on Gathering Grounds on pages 4 and 5. This combina-
tion coffee shop, café, and gift shop has proved to be a valuable addition to the square in
Kenmare. It’s a place for people to gather, whether for a relaxing meal or to get a little work
done. To help with the latter, RTC provides 100 Mbps internet and a Wi-Fi network.
Another valuable asset for any business is the local community of residents and other
businesses. We feature
The Buy Local Loop
on page 6 and encourage you to support
each other for the good of everyone.
RTC is committed to providing our business customers with the valuable expertise and
advanced technology required to help you achieve your goals. Contact us with your
questions, and we’ll get to work.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Edwards
Human Resource Manager
