A Plus Computer Solutions: West Palm Beach Computer Repair Things You Should Know

The only way we are going to know some things, is if we go through them ourselves. It’s no different when it comes to West Palm Beach computer repair. Then again if we know someone on the inside then it makes it a whole lot easier to learn. Before I got involved in the West Palm Beach computer repair industry, I had only speculations about certain things that were possible. After I got West Palm Beach computer repair certified I learned the ins and outs of the business. I realized there is a lot that goes on in the West Palm Beach computer repair industry that isn’t exactly palatable. I’ve worked next to many solid techs who feel the same way. I can speak for most of us; it’s time to raise the bar for West Palm Beach computer repair. I felt the best way to do this was by informing you, and giving you some heads up on some things to watch out for.

West Palm Beach Computer Repair Privacy

I can’t stress enough how vulnerable your personal information is when getting your computer worked on. There are absolutely no West Palm Beach computer repair regulations or requirements to be called a computer repair tech, and provide services. You may have private pictures, private documents, and username and passwords saved on your computer. Just about every West Palm Beach computer repair tech knows of, and has access to, programs to help you get to this information when you forget or accidently delete these items. These same programs can be used maliciously by a computer repair company to access and retain your private data, including email username and passwords which will then enable them to retrieve all your personal accounts information. I really hope there are no West Palm Beach computer repair techs doing this, and I can rest assured if they are certified then they are probably not. Fact remains you leave yourself open to these kinds of things when allowing West Palm Beach computer repair hobbyists, or side gigs, repair your computer.

Up charging In West Palm Beach Computer Repair Parts

There is nothing wrong with a West Palm Beach computer repair company charging a few dollars to go and pick up parts to repair your computer. West Palm Beach computer repair shops also have to charge sales tax in some situations. There is a practice in some West Palm Beach computer repair situations where an up charge of 30 percent or more is taxed onto the already discounted prices for parts, when repairing your computer. Make sure you at least check the prices they are quoting you, with the prices in stores like CompUSA. You will see if there is any mark up. Also make sure West Palm Beach computer repair techs are putting in the new parts they are charging you for, and not some used parts they took out of the last customers computer (unless you have agreed to let them do this). This happens oh too often, but not just in West Palm Beach computer repair scenarios, this happens in the industry as a whole.

Do Not Pay Your West Palm Beach Computer Repair Company For Free Software

West Palm Beach computer repair shops will gladly suggest and install all kinds of software at your request. There are many free software editions out there to meet just about every one of your needs on a basic user level. Please make sure when your West Palm Beach computer repair shop is installing the requested software such as free antivirus, CD burners, photo manipulators, etc and charging you for it, that it’s not actually free software. If they tell you it is free and you feel like paying them for their time to install it, that’s another issue, however they need to tell you its actually free or they are in danger of copywrite infringement and taking money for something they have no right to sell.

In short please make sure you find a Certified, reputable, trustworthy company that has references to trust with your West Palm Beach computer repair needs. In following updates, I will be adding to the list of things to watch for, as this is only a couple. There are great West Palm Beach computer repair companies out there, make sure to get connected with one!

 

Probate Software – Software Solutions For The Modern Law Firm

The new Probate module from DPS Software has been developed for the practitioner who needs to be free of the time consuming and highly repetitive aspects of the probate procedure.

The system manages the matter as a complete case, producing letters and emails to all concerned parties and tracking their responses. In addition, the system creates a set of estate accounts from the assets and liabilities of the estate. Beneficiaries are included on the estate accounts and a distribution account is also prepared, splitting the estate into the relevant proportions after specific legacies are dealt with.

The system also automatically completes all the relevant IHT forms and presents them to the user. The automation of the whole process means that even relatively inexperienced staff can use the software to prepare IHT forms and estate accounts for authorisation.

In addition, the system is fully equipped with the elements expected of a DPS application such as quick and efficient production of letters and documents, diarisation of tasks and work completed monitoring. DPS Probate benefits from further functionality as it can be fully integrated to MS Outlook™ so that fee earners can work within one system.

The complete automation of the probate process from information gathering through to estate accounts marks out DPS Probate as one of the most comprehensive yet easy to use systems on the market.

DPS Probate is a case management+ product, plus because the system functionality goes beyond case management. The system is equipped with functionality for document preparation, tracking, costing and can link to accounts packages, but it also handles the specialist area of estate accounts. The system automatically decides which IHT forms need to be completed based on the assets and liabilities of the estate. DPS Probate goes the extra mile, setting it aside from its peers and making it the natural choice for fee earners to use.

Cost-Effective Solutions For Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastewater Generators. MBBR

A New Approach to Wastewater Disposal:
Cost-Effective Solutions for Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastewater Generators

Formed in 2005, NewStream is an environmental services company specializing in high technology industrial wastewater treatment and high purity process water. Originally built for Texas Instruments (TI), the facility has a treatment capacity of up to 800 gallons per minute of wastewater and the ability to deliver 325 gpm of high purity process water.

The founders of NewStream have transformed the former single-user facility (formerly Texas Instruments)into a successful commercial enterprise. Having received the first permit of its type ever to be issued in Massachusetts, NewStream now receives an average of 10 truckloads per day of non-hazardous wastewater from off-site sources. Additionally, the same network of pipelines that once allowed all of TI’s on-site manufacturing operations to send their wastewater to the plant now allows NewStream to treat wastewater from tenants on site.

As a result, the facility was able to maintain an on-site surface water discharge for the majority of its wastewater effluent under a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, meaning that water discharged from the facility will not harm even the most sensitive aquatic organism. With additional flows that discharged to the City of Attleboro sewer system under a pretreatment permit, the facility processed up to 0.75 MGD.

Sam Butterfield of Butterfield Environmental Corporation (BEC) in Plymouth, MA, then a supplier and consultant to TI and a veteran of the industrial wastewater industry in New England, saw an opportunity to grow his business and put the high-tech plant to good use. He joined forces with John Theriault, former Chief Operator of the treatment plant for TI, and now co-owner and VP of Operations for NewStream.

The path was clear that NewStream would have to work as a non-hazardous waste management and recycling facility, or not at all. However, since non-haz wastestreams are loosely tracked at best, and industry knowledge is closely guarded, concrete market data was practically impossible to obtain. Research was limited largely to anecdotal sources. Estimates of over-the-road non-haz wastewater volumes ranged from “not that much” to “huge”, and disposal pricing ranged from .05 to .25 per gallon. On the other hand, both present and potential generators of non-haz wastewater (and other, potentially recyclable, industrial/commercial materials) ranged wide and deep, all the way from large process industries to flooded basements and everything in between. With no way of quantifying just how much water there was or what NewStream’s market share could be, jumping into the market required a great leap of faith.

On the regulatory front, the Massachusetts DEP had no precedent for this type of permit since it was the first of its kind ever to be issued in the state, and MADEP’s interpretation differed from the EPA’s as to how the facility would be qualified. For example, was it a CWT (Centralized Waste Treatment) facility, and thereby allowed to accept waste from off-site sources, or not? The City of Attleboro also weighed in with a good deal of anxiety about what exactly qualifies as non-hazardous wastewater and how it would affect their own POTW.

Other questions included: Would existing technology and configuration of the plant be sufficient to treat the variety of waste streams that could potentially be received at the plant? Would it be feasible to separate the wastewater treatment plant from a site that had grown so organically over the years?

With many of these questions still unanswered, NewStream opened its doors – and its pipelines – to off-site wastewater in July of 2005 with the issuance of a new sewer discharge permit from the MADEP and the City of Attleboro.

Diversification

During the first full year of operation, several opportunities arose for NewStream to expand is service offerings. Most significant was utilizing the tremendous resources of the former TI environmental group for specialized environmental services such as decommissioning and decontaminating industrial facilities. A good deal of work was done for TI as it transitioned out of its manufacturing operations, as well as other companies who heard about NewStream’s expertise in these areas. Services have since been expanded to include contract operation of other industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities, chemical management and environmental monitoring.

Another addition to the service and product line was antifreeze recycling. As a non-haz material, NewStream could accept used antifreeze, collected in small bulk from auto dealerships, service centers and fleet vehicles, process it to recover ethylene glycol, and produce a recycled anti-freeze product for sale back into the automotive market. Rather than investing large capital expenditures for new equipment, NewStream was able to convert one of its three large and sophisticated Reverse Osmosis (RO) units from the plant’s high purity water process into a nano-filter for glycol recovery. The addition of a small Ion Exchange system for chloride removal was all that was needed to allow NewStream to recover a high quality recycled product from the used material.

The recovered product is then refreshed with virgin ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and dye packages to meet customer specifications. The recycled antifreeze can be shipped from NewStream in bulk or drums at very competitive prices.

NewStream’s goal is to generate recycled material that is as high quality as virgin material. The recycled material can be sold back to the generator and/or to third parties for re-use in applications such as:

• Major auto and truck manufacturing
• Aftermarket automotive service
• Consumer use (retail)
• Fed, state, local government use
• Military applications

Other processes on the drawing board include recovery of clean “Specification Used Oil Fuel” (a “regulated recyclable” material under Mass regulations) from water-contaminated tank bottoms and the like, recovery of recyclable gasoline from gas/water mixtures, and recovery of oil and recyclable metals from used oil filters.

Process Challenges and Modifications

Once the permits were in place, the word was out and the water started flowing in, many challenges still remained. The naïve assumption was that since this sophisticated plant, with all its technology, could treat almost any type of hazardous wastewater, any non-hazardous wastewater would be handled with ease. That was not the case: the NewStream team was surprised at the diversity and complexity of the waste streams that were coming in, and by the high volume of high-strength organic wastestreams. Many streams, such as latex waste from the textile industry, had peculiar characteristics that demanded special processing. Others came with odor problems. All streams had to be screened carefully for hidden toxicity characteristics that might pass through to the POTW.

NewStream quickly began a series of process modifications that would allow for optimum efficiency and treatment performance in the plant. The most significant improvement was the addition of eight 10,000-gallon holding tanks. The tank farm enables the Company to isolate, analyze and batch treat each individual waste stream as it comes off the truck.

The primary advantage to the tank farm system is the guarantee that each and every load arriving at the plant will receive optimum pre-treatment to remove a large bulk of contaminants prior to being equalized with other waste streams. The tank farm allows for greater cost efficiency and in general, better control of the treatment process.

Each new waste stream coming into the plant now receives its own unique treatment recipe. The recipe goes on record in a sort of operators’ cookbook, which is followed each time a load of the given stream comes in. Ultimately, the batch treatment process will be automated, allowing operators to plug in a waste profile number to the programmable logic controller (PLC) and automatically treat the entire batch. This method will eliminate operator error and provide for better control over chemical dosage rates, mixing speeds and times.

Automated batch treatment works with a variety of different treatment processes, including gravity clarification, chemical oxidation, dissolved air flotation and even biological treatment methods, such as a moving bed bio-reactor (MBBR).

The MBBR is another new technology that NewStream expects to put online in 2007. (At this writing, a pilot-scale system is being successfully operated at the plant.) The bioreactor will enable NewStream to treat waste streams with high biological oxygen demand (BOD) by converting contaminants into organic mass and gases.

Specifically, the MBBR technology being tested at NewStream uses thousands of biofilm carriers operating in mixed motion to increase the surface area for attached fixed film bacteria. The system offers higher productivity than many other biological systems in use today.

WEF 6/8/2007 6 Cost Effective Solutions for Non-Hazardous Industrial Wastewater

Other process modifications included retrofitting the existing reverse osmosis (RO) unit as mentioned above in the discussion about antifreeze recycling, and converting two 10,000-gallon tanks for removal of any non-emulsified oil and grease prior to chemical treatment.

Quality Control

In order to maintain the high standards of treatment expected of NewStream, strict quality control has been critical. Before accepting any waste stream, NewStream’s Quality Control Manager performs extensive treatability testing to:

1. Pre-screen incoming wastestreams to establish influent levels of several contaminants, including metals – utilizing a direct coupling plasma (DCP) unit – as well as COD, TSS, and pH.

2. Determine whether the stream can be treated effectively enough to meet NewStream’s discharge permit limits, and

3. Establish a treatment “recipe” for each stream to be optimally batch treated (as discussed above).

Once accepted for processing at the facility, QC must be maintained throughout receiving, treatment and discharge processes. This is accomplished with the use of a Receiving Log that travels with the retain sample and the load itself through the process, getting multiple QC checks at critical points along the way, until it is finally cleared for discharge from the plant.

A COST COMPARISON

So, when does it make sense for a non-hazardous industrial wastewater generator to truck their water off site to NewStream, as opposed to building and operating their own on-site wastewater treatment plant?

An example: NewStream has a customer that manufactures several different health and beauty products. Upon introducing a new product line, the company was notified that they were now in violation of their existing sewer discharge permit. The process associated with manufacturing the new product was generating wastewater that added several new contaminants to the stream.

The company considered a complete overhaul of their existing treatment system in order to treat the wastewater generated from the new process. To do everything required to meet permit limits, the capital costs would have been 0,000. O&M costs for the system were estimated at 5,000 per year, not including sewer discharge fees. The cost to haul one truckload of wastewater per week to NewStream is 4,000 per year. In this case, the cost-benefit is clearly in favor of trucking, especially since the success of the new product line was not yet known and the company was hesitant to make the long-term investment in waste treatment equipment.

The best choice between Self-hosted or Remote Hosted (SaaS) Software Solutions

If you are planning to invest and introduce a new Recruitment Process Automation system, it is not uncommon for you to get hassled about comparing features, advantages, quality, benefits, and prices. Immaterial of selection, your new software will play a major role in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and your Return on Investment (ROI).

How would you decide on the best recruitment software solution for your organization? In this article we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two renowned software deployment methods, which will assist you in taking the right decision on this critical subject.

Self-hosting Software Deployment:

Self-hosting deployment is also known as Enterprise software deployment. This method is the most traditional method of using a recruitment or staffing software within an organization. What does Enterprise deployment mean?

You purchase the software as a licensed product Purchase and own all of the hardware Servers Power systems Back up systems Communications All other infrastructure, at your location

All maintenance of the hardware, software and infrastructure is totally your responsibility including the hiring of IT staff. You will also need to pay for software maintenance, support and services to your vendor. This amounts to about 20% of the software license cost, per year.
The advantages of the ownership of the software license lets you have complete control over your data and its management. Most importantly, the system is fully secure and you can be sure that they system will not be accessed by outsiders. The only disadvantage with Enterprise software deployment is the high costs, and the TCO for this application is higher than any other application.

Software as a Service (SaaS) Software Deployment:

Also called – as mentioned in the title, Remote Hosted or more commonly known as On-Demand software. This is a subscription based model; you need to subscribe to the recruiting software, which is on servers owned and operated by your vendor at their location, and not at yours. You use the software over an Internet connection using a Web Browser or Smart Client, and your vendor is responsible for all ongoing hardware and software maintenance.

The advantages are it has a low cost of entry and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). There is also a vested vendor interest – in case of mismanagement in the application, the vendor will loose a client.

Our choice for a suitable software solution is eConn Resume Parser which is a Self-hosting or Enterprise Software deployment. It provides you with the facility to process online resumes by extracting the required data in an organized and logical manner. The added advantages are that it helps you get support on:

Enterprise portals E-learning solutions Enterprise application integration tools SOA software Document management systems Project management software

The advantages with Resume Parser as a self-hosted software solution are far more useful and safer than all other software solutions, SaaS software deployments.

Although SaaS software solutions are growing to be very popular, its disadvantages are equally high as well. Some organizations find it difficult to delegate control or trust third parties to manage their applications and data. Records and reports show that many hackers have had access to important databases using SaaS software solutions.
