DigiGirlz teaches girls about tech careers

July 27, 2018 by NCET Member

Girls don’t do tech is still widely believed. To  change that, Microsoft has been organizing the DigiGirlz, a technology camp for teenage girls in Reno for the last eight years. This year, tech companies in the region such as Tesla, Switch, Oracle and others came together as presenters at the camp. Ninety teenage girls  from different parts of Nevada and elsewhere participated in a two-day tech camp at the University of Nevada, Reno.

March 20, 2017 by NCET Member

You’ve heard of software as a service and its benefits, but is it going to work for your organization, and do the benefits outweigh the disadvantages? The term “software as a service” has been thrown around the IT world for the last 10 years, and over the last few years has gained consumer momentum. But now more than just software is being offered as a service, including hardware/infrastructure (IaaS), storage (SaaS), and pretty much anything you can think of (XaaS).

Make the shift to a more productive workplace

November 25, 2016 by Matt Brown

We can all relate to email and productivity tools as one of the key functions required to do business. With all of the choices available, the initial task of deciding on a provider for these solutions can seem daunting. What features are you looking for? Is mobility a key part of your business? Will you be using multiple devices to access data? What are the various compliance features your business will require? These are the questions individuals starting a new company or wanting to expand their current business need to ask themselves before making a decision.

Many users found Windows 8 too difficult to use and never upgraded from Windows 7, even with the changes that were introduced as part of 8.1, adoption has been low. With Windows 10, Microsoft has brought back some of the familiar navigation, added an action center and provided new versions of bundled software including a new internet browser and Cortana, Microsoft’s version of a personal assistant popular on the latest version of the Windows phone.
