Time is Running Out! Early Bird Registration for Accounting C4 Ends May 31st!
If you miss it...
- you'll miss the $200.00 discount off the Conference Registration fee
- you won't receive free setup and on-boarding on new Right Networks Hosted Desktops purchased before May 31st
- you'll probably miss one of the discounted rooms from the reserved block at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, since you'll put off registration, and when you do register, it'll be too late to get a great room at a great rate

C4 Registration Site.
As we will do in all newsletter issues, we'll provide you with news and upcoming events, additions to the family of Right Networks supported applications, Tips & Tricks, and any key support issues.

The Future of Business Is Kid Stuff
A few weeks ago, I asked my little sister, a high school junior, if she needed help studying for her AP exams.
Focused on her laptop screen, she said no, and that she was doing just fine. I peeked in over her shoulder and
was amazed at how these kids were working together. She was working with her classmates on Google Docs. The entire
study group was contributing, flooding a communal page with notes in real time while discussing the material in live chat.

Thought Leadership is at the heart of onsite peer-to-peer networking By M. Darren Root
Over the past few years, social media has gained momentum in the tax and accounting profession. Sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube enable professionals to exchange information in real-time, while accounting-specific blogs keep accountants apprised of the latest technology trends and efficiency-elevating innovations. There is no denying that the Internet provides exceptional convenience; however, the power of face-to-face networking communities cannot be overstated.

Microsoft One Note is now supported on the secure Right Networks platform. Microsoft OneNote 2010 is a digital notebook that provides a single place where you can gather all of your notes and information, with the added benefits of powerful search capabilities to find what you are looking for quickly, plus easy-to-use shared notebooks so you can manage information overload and work together with others more effectively. Unlike paper-based systems, word processing programs, e-mail systems, or other productivity programs, OneNote delivers the flexibility to gather and organize text, pictures, digital handwriting, audio and video recordings, and more — all in one digital notebook on your computer. OneNote can help you become more productive by keeping the information you need at your fingertips and reducing time spent searching for information across e-mail messages, paper notebooks, file folders, and printouts.
