Backup: Recordkeeping Made Safe

Article Abstract:

Recordkeeping is a primary function of computers. It is important that a company support this function with backup measures. Several backup devices are discussed in this article. These devices consist of the following: (1) Hard copy files which store original documentation to support the main files that are on a computer; (2) Hardware backup which allows computer information to be stored on a disk or tape that is physically separate from the computer; (3) Software backup which enables a user to copy whole or selective files on a computer. These backup devices are considered important security measures for computer information.

Contracts - What They Should Include

Article Abstract:

Both hardware and software are integral parts of a computer purchase contract. A software contract should have a complete system description, customization itemization, provisions for training, thorough documentation, installation timetable and account payment schedule. Monthly costs, service response time, and period of coverage are included in a hardware contract. Users determining the necessity of contracts should make the judgement based on costs. Equipment exceeding $12,000 to $15,000 should always have a contract. The user may delay for equipment costing less than $12,000, or take out a short term contract.

She suggests listing all files and the software system to which they will consigned, stamping documents as they are entered, labeling files clearly, and editing. Treat personnel with patience and care during this trying time.
