To succeed in business - especially the Information Technology provider business - you have to be agile and form partnerships based on trust and, dare I say it - synergy! For over 15 years now, our agility has allowed us to provide amazing solutions across the world for many varied organizations.

Heading into our next era, we are extremely proud to announce the completion of our private data center renovations! Renewing our commitment to investing in our hosting infrastructure for our customers, before Q3 we will be upgrading our data center to a full-duplex GbE link! This will effectively increase our available bandwidth by 10x, and allow us to offer more advanced hosted services as we go forward.

As promised, we are extremely excited to announce our partnership with SWEP Management, Manitoba's premiere medical billing provider. Forest is providing infrastructure and support for Manitoba's first ACCURO-based ASP service, a brilliant EMR software created by Optimed Software. Click on either company link for more information, and be aware of the key - your vital medical data stays RIGHT HERE, on Manitoba soil, not in some random carrier hotel who-knows-where. Our research has found that particular issue to be one of the most vital concerns on the part of medical providers and patients alike.

Well, better late than never! A very happy new year to all and a special Kung Hei Fat Choi to all our Chinese friends. 2012 has so far brought great things to our company and our customers, including an upcoming massive upgrade of our private data center (details to follow) and a new medical offering in partnership with Manitoba's premiere medical billing service - look for that announcement in March!

The hustle and bustle of the season is in full swing! Good luck trying to drive anywhere in this city in the next few days!! Remember the spirit of the holidays - whether you say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah (today is the first night after all!!) or all the best in the new year, the sentiment is the same! Be kind to one another and try to exercise patience with the crazy crowds.

Forest will be closed from December 24 to December 27, re-opening normal hours on December 28. We will also be closed on January 2, 2012 with normal hours resuming January 3.

See you all next year!

Next, next, accept, next, next, next, done.

How many of us do this when we're installing a new update or new software?

Far too often now, companies are burying add-ons within their installs, betting on people just skipping past them as they click "next" over and over again. The worst one right now is JAVA - the updates install the "Ask" toolbar if you just click through the installation. This toolbar and others are just there to annoy you, spy on what you're doing and slow down your computer.

Pay attention to your installations - make SURE you know exactly what is being installed in your system!
