First Command Offers Six Tips for Saving Money

/in , /by

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

    Tip #1: Establish specific goals for things you really want. Saving as a matter of principle just doesn’t provide the necessary motivation for most people. You must have definite goals – things you really wish to have.

Tip #2: Set definite deadlines for reaching your goals. Be realistic about how much will be required to reach your goals. How soon will you need it?

Tip #3: Pay yourself first – fundamental to every financial plan. When you make out the checks to pay the bills, don’t put yourself last. You may never get three. Make that first check out to yourself.

Tip #4: Get your money out of sight and out of mind. Automatic bank drafts are an excellent means to this end.

Tip #5: Establish specific accounts for each separate goal. If you have two or more basic objectives, establish two or more accounts to achieve them.

Tip #6: Stick with your plan. The best plan in the world is useless if it is not activated or if it is abandoned. If your goals are meaningful to you, you must stick with your original plan.

Webcast To Explore How Mid-market Companies are Generating Profits and Differentiation with IT

/in , /by

Washington, DC (PRWEB) June 23, 2010

Next Tuesday, June 29, at 2 p.m. ET, CIO Magazine Contributing Editor and BizTechReports.Com Editorial Director, Lane Cooper will host a webcast on the changing role of technology in the upper end of the middle market ($ 750 million to $ 3.5 billion). Executives in this segment of the market have witnessed dramatic growth in the volume and complexity of their technology infrastructure investments over the past decade. In that time data that must be managed has exploded, as the role of information has become an intrinsic part of many organizations’ central value proposition.

The question that begs to be asked is:


How effectively are mid-market IT resources being managed compared to Fortune 500 organizations on one end the spectrum, and up and coming Inc. 500 on the other?
This highly interactive executive conversation will explore:

Common mistakes that take mid-market companies off target;
How IT service providers often fail the mid-market; and
What mid-market executives can do to turn IT into an offensive weapon.

Participants in the panel discussion will be:

Kevin Dunn, Vice President, Network Operations, First Command Financial Planning, where he is responsible for defining and solving business problems through the application of state-of-the-art information technology. With over 20 years of experience in information systems, Mr. Dunn leads a team of dedicated professionals responsible for the daily operations of First Command’s information technology infrastructure.
Mike Keogh, Vice President, CompuCom, where he is responsible for managing the delivery of on-site and remote IT services to clients in a variety of industry segments. With over 15 years of experience in service design, service operations, and relationship management, Mr. Keogh focuses on how mid-market organizations can improve technology operations to maximize the business value of IT.
Lane Cooper, Contributing Editor to CIO Magazine and Editorial Director of BizTechReports.Com will moderate the webcast. An industry journalist who has covered the impact of technology on business operations for the past 20 years, Mr. Cooper will take your questions and present them to our panelists to foster an insightful dialog on the practical steps mid market executives can take to get the most of their technology investments.
