Today's Enterprise
Workforces: Remote But Not Isolated
Research conducted by IDG Research Services
With mounting
labor challenges, businesses expect the hiring of fixed remote
employees - those who work from solo offices or their homes - to
outpace
investments in overall corporate workforces. But it's important to arm
remote employees with the right tools to communicate and collaborate
effectively-
or those hiring investments will be for naught.
Compelling new
research sheds light on how many CIOs are deploying IP communications
solutions to make that happen.

Restricted Party Screening
Solution by
Sherwood Systems
 Complying with U.S. export laws is becoming more and
more difficult for companies, and the penalties for non-compliance are
severe. There are many different regulations and federal agencies
involved depending on the type of export, which makes it challenging
to comply.
According to Compliance Week, "An export is any
item sent from the United States to a foreign destination, regardless
of how it is transferred. That can include commodities, software, or
technology. For instance, blue prints, design plans, retail software
packages, and technical information can all be considered exports,
whether they're sent by regular mail, hand-carried on an airplane,
faxed, downloaded from a Website, or transmitted by e-mail or
phone."
Many companies don't think the export laws apply to them
and could be violating the law without even knowing it. The best
protection is a strong compliance program. Sherwood Systems
partnered with eCustoms
to develop built-in compliance within Microsoft Dynamics GP.
The Restricted
Party Screening Solution from Sherwood Systems
automatically screens customers, vendors, sales documents and purchase
orders in Microsoft Dynamics GP against various restricted party lists
from government agencies, and alerts of potential non-compliance.
Working seamlessly with eCustoms
Visual Compliance web application, contact information
is sent and the results of the search are returned, without the user
leaving Microsoft Dynamics GP.
If you would
like more information on the Restricted Party Screening Solution
contact Pauline Zorz at 602-943-9696 ext 101 or via email.
