Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be taking a look at how we can help you with FileMaker licensing.

KYO Logic can help you obtain two different types of licenses for your work. The first is an outright purchase, which keeps your software as up to date as possible. Annual maintenance is recommended after the first year. There is also the annual leasing option, in which no maintenance is required, but there is an annual fee.

There is also discounted pricing available to you if you work with our services. This is especially true if you work at a non-profit organization, because there is separate lower pricing you can use.

When working in the IT world, chances are very high that you will come across sensitive information throughout the course of your career. This means that your computers need to be as up-to-date as possible in order to prevent potential cyber attacks or other issues from outside forces.

Spending most of your day on a computer certainly has many advantages, as long as you know how to keep all of that information protected. This is especially true in those instances when you are working on a project that could have a major impact on your company or even industry.

Here are a few tips to keep your work environment safe:

• Always use work equipment: When you are dealing with important information, you never want to do so on a personal laptop or electronic device. You should only use equipment provided to you by your employer, as these are likely more secure.
• Keep the WiFi locked: The internet that your company uses should only be available to those who are employed there. Don't give potential hackers the chance to get into your WiFi and into the machines you are working on.
• Run updates frequently: The best way to keep your computer secure is to make sure that the software used is as current as possible. If you want to long to make these necessary updates, there could be holes in your security that will leave your work vulnerable to outsiders.

Massachusetts has been a leader in the technology world within the United States for years, but a new report says that things are growing in the Bay State nicely. This is especially true for those who work in certain sectors of IT, such as engineers, programmers and robotics engineers, which are experiencing a wonderful amount of public and private support.

The Mass Technology Leadership Council released its annual "State of Technology" report for the state at the beginning of last week. Mass Technology Leadership Council is the largest IT organization in Massachusetts and is looked to for guidance in this arena. The group says that the tech industry in Massachusetts, particularly in Boston, has seen rapid growth over the last five years.

Across the entire state, dozens of companies have either opened or expanded, with the Innovation District in Boston flourishing nicely in this time period. This has had wonderful results, as the tech sector become the most concentrated in the country in Massachusetts in 2013. This means that tech jobs make up a larger portion of overall jobs in Massachusetts than any other state.

This has resulted in Massachusetts dethroning California as the most technologically savvy and heavy state in the entire country. What experts have noted is the the IT world in Massachusetts is diverse, as the jobs and industry are not tied up in one area of study.

"The remarkable thing is how diverse our tech ecosystem is, from big data to robotics to life sciences," Mass Technology Leadership Council chief executive Tom Hopcroft told the Boston Globe. "Our real strength as a region is the interplay between all these areas."

If you are in need of custom database software for your IT company, be sure to work with KYO Logic.

Earlier this year, the Massachusetts economy was named one of the most technology-heavy in the entire country. The workforce in Massachusetts relies on technology each and every day, which has improved productivity and the number of people who are proficient with different aspects of the IT world. But is the tech sector of the economy in Massachusetts growing fast enough?

Five years ago, industry group Mass Technology Leadership Council set a goal of there being 100,000 new technology jobs created in Massachusetts by the year 2020. Massachusetts is generally on track to meet this goal, though there are a few issues that experts have noted in recent months. The biggest one being that there are more available jobs than there are qualified people.

According to a report released by the group late last week, for every recent graduate that is qualified to hold a tech job, there are 17 open positions available. Between 2010 and 2013, Massachusetts technology companies created just under 18,000 new jobs, which fell short of the set goal of about 26,000 for that time period. By the end of 2013, the Bay State had 214,000 tech jobs, up from 197,000 when the goals were initially set.

According to the report, the best way to deal with this talent crunch is to create programs and initiatives that will develop, attract and retain talent. The tech industry is a major part of the Massachusetts economy, comprising of 20 percent of the overall workforce and contributing $93 billion in economic value to the state, $7 billion of which is through state and local taxes.
