The Utility Company Helps Toronto Distributor, Mr. Janitorial Supplies, 'Clean Up' ERP Implementation with Connected Office Remote Managed Services
Mr. Janitorial Leverages Per Minute Helpdesk Service Before Evolving to Fixed-Fee Program to Support Internal Technician
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) June 15, 2008
The Utility Company, a single-source provider of technology, communications and business management solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) across North America, today highlighted its most recent Customer Success Story, Mr. Janitorial Supplies of Toronto, in the June edition of The Utility View newsletter.
Mr. Janitorial is an ISO-9001 registered distributor of paper products, cleaning supplies and health and safety products in the Greater Toronto Area over the past 18 years. With a growing team the company employs an internal technical resource, as it is heavily reliant on technology for shipping, receiving and communications. In addition, it recently added an industry-specific Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to manage the business.
"Typically small and medium-sized businesses purchase technology services in one of three scenarios: at point of pain, point of product sale or when they see the value of the service for their business," stated Mark Scott, president and founder of The Utility Company. "Our service portfolio maps to the specific scenario and type of customer. In Mr. Janitorial's case we focused on working with their general manager along with their internal IT resource to tailor our services to their specific requirements and budget."
The Utility Company's service portfolio addresses the three types of SMB technology consumers, including:
Tactical - "Do more with less", reactive customers with 1-866-My-Utility Per Minute Reliant - Technology critical to business, proactive customers with Connected Office (CO) Strategic - Technology as profit-driver customers with CO Business, CO Web, CO VoIP
Connected Office Complements Internal IT
By partnering with The Utility Company, Mr. Janitorial now has a technology team behind their internal resource. The engagement evolved over three stages:
1 Connected Office Network - 24x7 remote monitoring and management service of mission-critical network infrastructure.
2. 1-866-My-Utility Per Minute Helpdesk - computer support on-demand in a pay-as-you-go, per minute model.
3. Connected Office Managed - fully managed network and desktop solution for a fixed-fee per user per month.
"We first signed on with The Utility Company to both back up our in-house IT person when he needed the help and to prepare for his upcoming return to school", stated Bill Birring, General Manager at Mr. Janitorial Supplies. "Our original intention was to use The Utility Company for a six month stint to simply maintain our servers in his absence; however, they endeared themselves to us in a time of crisis. They went above and beyond to help us through the resolution of our ERP installation and its associated issues. Our wealth of experience in the supply industry has enabled us with the ability to look at a customer's requirements and recommend the proper solution. I now realize that is exactly what Utility brings to us."
"It is no small leap of faith to ask small or medium-sized businesses to put their trust in new services and outside providers," concluded Scott. "Mr. Janitorial's situation is a common one among our customers. They are naturally reluctant, at first, to 'turn over the keys to the store'. And often where there is an existing internal IT person, he or she feels threatened by the incursion to 'their turf'. Once they work with us however, they realize we're not an incursion; we're an opportunity for them to become more strategic to the business."

Jackson & Coker Industry Report Addresses Health Care Reform
Jackson & Coker Industry Report Addresses Health Care Reform
Health Care Reform creates numerous challenges for Primary Care doctors—such as managing chronic care treatment—and suggests the need to re-examine reimbursement.
Alpharetta, GA (Vocus) November 24, 2009
The proposed legislation concerning health care reform is controversial, to say the least -- with practitioners, consumers, insurers, legislators and policy makers all weighing in with their views on what will best “fix the system.” One thing is certain: Primary Care doctors are at the crux of the debate and their future is uncertain, according to research and commentary presented in the latest Jackson & Coker Industry Report.
“We addressed this issue head-on since so many of our clients use our Primary Care locum tenens physicians as part of their staffing model,” explained Sandra Garrett, president of Jackson & Coker. “Regardless of the outcome of health care reform discussions, we are concerned about the future of health care delivery in the U. S. and the financial well-being of those who are on the forefront of providing quality patient care,” she added.
A number of critical questions are raised in a research piece entitled “Primary Care at a Crossroads,” published in JCIR. The discussion centers on the root causes of the current crisis facing Primary Care physicians, as well as the influence of Washington, and makes some predictions about the future of Primary care given the factors and trends that have a bearing on the profession—such as the increased usage of advanced practitioners in retail patient care centers and the growing popularity of patient-centered “medical homes.”
A companion article, “Thoughts on Primary Care and Health Care Reform,” authored by a noted health care industry executive, offers additional insight on the subject. The article notes numerous challenges that face Primary Care doctors—such as managing chronic care treatment—and suggests the need to re-examine reimbursement models so that practitioners who face an increased patient load under proposed “universal health care” will be compensated equitably.
“The feedback from our locum tenens doctors concerning this issue of our Industry Report has been positive,” mentioned Jason Haddad, Vice President of Primary Care for Jackson & Coker. “They appreciate the fact that our company takes an objective, hard look at issues that concern them personally and professionally. Like them, we await the outcome of health care reform legislation as it makes it way through both houses of Congress. One can only hope for the best,” he added.

Toxic Mould and Construction Defect
Toxic Mould and Construction Defect
Building Forensics have been inundated with requests to investigate sick or tight building syndrome since their recent appearance on ITVs "Building From Hell".

(PRWeb UK) November 21, 2009
Building Forensics have been inundated with requests to investigate sick or tight building syndrome since their recent appearance on ITVs "Building From Hell".
The program highlighted the new worrying but previously unrecognised, building defects, identified from modern construction techniques which create ideal conditions for toxic mould and serious health concerns.
The increase in building tightness from a quest for reduced carbon emissions from lower air changes has led to a general moisture build in new or restored properties, resulting in the health concerns of mould and rot or decay. Typically we have found the application of new building tightness conditioning such as BREEAM, LEED and part L of the Building Regulations coupled to poor construction management is increasingly causing building defect and health issues.
Building Forensics has found increasing evidence that construction management is failing to control quality standards or indeed comply with manufacturer’s or architects design or installation requirements. Worse still few surveyors or inspectors have the equipment or training to undertake non intrusive investigation or be able identify hidden defect such as missing insulation, thermal bridging and there presence of toxic chemicals.
The combination of high cellulose materials and misuse of vapour barriers, thermal bridging from poor or missing insulation or failure to properly seal the building envelope can result in the growth of toxic mould such as Penicillium, Tricoderma and Stachybotrys.
While visible mould is a good indicator of the health risk, it should be recognised that the moisture required for mould growth, sometimes from leaks but usually from condensation, often occurs out of sight in voids or behind plasterboard cavity walls.
Based in London "Building Forensics" are pleased to offer a nationwide investigation and inspection service identifying construction defect or the presence of harmful toxins using state of art measurement and monitoring equipment coupled to world class laboratory analysis.
