Welcome to our CNC newsletter.

Welcome to our autumn newsletter.

This month we highlight the amazing ways in which you can now use Skype to communicate within and beyond your business. Keeping travel costs down and productivity high!

And the end is finally nigh for our old friend the Hard Drive. Solid State Disks are fast replacing hard drives. Delivering speedier downloads, quicker bootup and longer battery life, all for a reasonable price.

If you would like more information on Skype for Business or replacing hard drives with Solid State technology, do get in touch on 01273 384100 or email us at sales@cnc-ltd.co.uk.

Skype for Business - Transforming Business Communication

Skype for Business lets you connect with co-workers or business partners in your company, in your local area or anywhere in the world. Some of the features are:

  • Instant messaging and chat history
  • Calls between Skype and landline / mobile phone numbers
  • Video calling and screen sharing

Communication and collaboration are increasingly vital to the way we work. Skype for Business in Office 365 is now the go-to communicatons product for many businesses. Skype for Business can meet all business conferencing and calling needs. Allowing staff to video chat and screen share - it's almost as if they were in the same room!

People around the globe conduct over one billion meetings per year on the Skype network, and usage of Skype for Business Online has doubled in the last year.

Skype for Business comes as standard with the following Office 365 plans:

  • Business Essentials
  • Business Premium
  • Enterprise 1 Plan
  • Enterprise 3 Plan
  • Enterprise 5 Plan

There is client software available for your iPhone and android devices and it works for Mac Users as well.

CNC has been using Skype for Business, formerly 'Lync' for over ten years and we have found it really useful for improving staff communication. It avoids the need to interrupt people with a phone call but you get a quicker response than email.

Solid State Technology is finally replacing Hard Drives!

Have you ever wondered why your phone responds faster than your computer? It's because your phone runs on flash memory. Add flash to a laptop or desktop computer in the form of a SSD (Solid State Drive) and it will speed things up considerably!

The next-generation of Solid State Disks have sequential read/write speeds up to 540/500 MB/s enabling:

  • Faster boot up
  • Faster program loads
  • Improved system responsiveness

In addition, the technology has no moving parts, so it is more reliable than the traditional hard drive.

And it's way more energy efficient. So batteries last longer. 45 times longer in fact!

It's quieter and cooler too.

Now is the time for computer users to make the transition from hard drives to solid state technology!

SSD technology is becoming more affordable than ever, and for those who are ready to make the switch to solid state, the technology now offers excellent performance and reliability at a competitive price.

Therefore CNC are supplying all new Dell OptiPlex desktop computers with SSD as standard. And we recommend that any new laptop has that option too.

If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01273 384100 or email us at sales@cnc-ltd.co.uk.
