Hacked: Who Else Is Using Your Computer?

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em;">A friend called me one day and asked if I would stop by to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">look at his computer. He said it was running abnormally slow</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">and he had found something on his hard-drive he could not</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">explain. I could almost guess what it was he found.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Have I been hacked?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">You see, his computer had been hacked. Actually, in his</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">case, his computer had been tagged. Similar to the image you</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">The file transfer protocol, commonly referred to as "FTP",</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">has been around for many years. In the early days of the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Internet, it was one of the few ways to easily upload and</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">download files from one computer to another. Many</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">commercial operating systems come with an FTP server</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">installed. In other cases, the option for FTP services is</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">selected by a user when they are installing or updating</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">their operating system. If this service is not setup</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">properly, or you don't have an adequately configured</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">software or hardware firewall, it is an open invitation for</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">a hacker or intruder.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">FTP Tagging - The most common purpose for someone to</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">compromise your FTP server is for the storage and</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">distribution of illegally obtained software and files. This</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">could include cracked software, stolen movies, audio files,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">and pornography. Removing this type of contraband from your</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">computer can be difficult, particularly if you are using a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Microsoft Windows platform. Hackers use sophisticated</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">scripts to create a maze of directory structures to house</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">their wares on your computer. They may use a combination of</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">names with spaces in them, and in some cases use extended</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">characters (characters outside the normal alpha-numeric</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">range). Deleting these directories through normal means may</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">be difficult, if not impossible, for the average user. Many</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">people wind up wiping their system and re-installing it, and</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">that is if they're lucky enough to find out their system has</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">The above is a perfect example of why the statement, "I'm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">not worried about being hacked. What do I have that a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">hacker would want?" is not a good position to take. The fact</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">is, you do have something they want, your computers</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">resources. Why should a hacker store tons of illegally</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">obtained files on their systems when they can use yours.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">When I was young I use to spend hours upon hours on the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Internet Relay Chat, also know as the IRC. The IRC is</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">another method of Internet communication, which has been</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">around for quite a long time. When I was a frequent user of</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">the IRC, it was just plain fun. You would meet all kinds of</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">people from all over the world. It was the instant messenger</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">much any operating system platform. It is also a favorite</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">means of communication for hackers. They can discuss new</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">exploits, methods of compromise, and even send and receive</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">files. Many hacker groups use a cryptic language to</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">communicate with each other on the IRC channels. Unless you</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">know the language constructs they use, their conversations</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">can look like a bunch of nonsense.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">with using the IRC, which need to concern you. If a hacker</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">is able to install an IRC relay agent on your computer, it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">can become a conduit through which they communicate and</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">distribute information. In my line of work, I've identified</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">many systems with IRC backdoors or relay agents installed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">The only thing the end user typically experiences is a</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">If a total stranger were to knock on your door, and ask to</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">come in to just hang out for awhile, would you let them in?;</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Most likely not. If you're using peer-to-peer file sharing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">software to locate and download files on the Internet,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">you're opening the door to destruction. Many of the file</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">tout themselves as being "safe" and "clean". This is as far</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">from the truth as you can get. If you're a regular user of</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">you've undoubtedly received messages regarding viruses when</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">downloading files from peer-to-peer services. These are not</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">the only things you could be downloading. Many hackers imbed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">root-kits in files and distribute them using peer-to-peer</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">successful, it's only a matter of time before your computer</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">I can't tell you how many times I've found company</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">employees (and technical personnel) using peer-to-peer file</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">sharing services. Any organization that permits this is</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">putting itself at risk. And, the risk is much greater as</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">compared to a single home computer because of the number of</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Of course, the above is just a few examples of different</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">methods and types of computer compromise. There are many</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">ways your computer can be hacked. Your best defense is a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">good offense along with education and awareness.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">When you configure your computer make sure you enable only</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">the software and services that you need. Many programs have</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">known exploits and / or require additional steps be taken to</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Don't make the assumption that you are not a target just</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">because you don't think you have anything of interest on</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">If our computer becomes unstable or dramatically decreases</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">in performance, don't assume it's just a quirk or that it's</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Make sure you have a software or hardware firewall in place</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">to protect you from the Internet. Your firewall should be</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">firewalls, but you should make sure the one you are using is</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">properly configured.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Make sure you have adequate virus and spyware protection,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">and your pattern signatures are up-to-date. Many anti-virus</span><br />

Hacked: Who Else Is Using Your Computer?

A friend called me one day and asked if I would stop by to look at his computer. He said it was running abnormally slow and he had found something on his hard-drive he could not explain. I could almo…

Using Technology to Improve Business Productivity

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<strong style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em;"><u>Five Ways to Increase Business Productivity.</u></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />
<div id="article-content">
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">With the economy currently as it is, it's more important than ever for businesses to maximise every pound and every minute available to them. The age old saying 'time is money' has never rung as true as it does now. With this in mind, it makes sense for all businesses to investigate methods to improve productivity. The purpose of this article is to suggest 5 ways in which your business could do this.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><strong><u>VoIP</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Most readers of this article are probably already somewhat familiar with VoIP. For the uninitiated, VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol - in Layman's terms - a technology which one can use to make telephone calls over an internet connection rather than a traditional telephone connection.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Over the last 5 or so years, VoIP has become increasingly popular - especially within business. If your business doesn't yet utilise it though, it can be difficult to understand just why it could be beneficial.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">VoIP has evolved beyond simple voice calls. Service providers are now equipped to host full web conferences at the click of a button.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">By supporting video conferences, it can eliminate the need to travel, therefore eliminating the inefficiency associated with travelling.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">A study by Cisco showed that 48% of companies using this method realised travel savings of 5 days per year per employee. In the same study, 68% reported improved productivity between geographically dispersed departments.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">On top of this, over 70% saw savings in travel costs of at least 10%</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><strong><u>Managed Hosting</u></strong></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Anyone who has worked at company that manages there IT hardware in-house can vouch that a fair chunk of time is spent carrying out maintenance and/or rectifying any issues that may have arisen. Managed hosting is a potential solution to this problem.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Rather than buying, operating and managing the hardware, it is leased to you (usually) from a managed hosting provider. The hosting provider then manages the hardware and performs the day-to-day maintenance required to keep it running.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">There are a number of benefits to doing this. The most obvious one is the computing benefits, having professionals manage your servers is likely to ensure minimum disruption and therefore minimum loss of business.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">One point that may not be so obvious though is the time saving benefit. It frees up your in-house IT personnel, meaning that they can spend more time doing important work and less time carrying out mundane server maintenance.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><strong><u>Cloud Storage</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Cloud storage is a networked online storage model where data is stored in a virtualized pool of storage resource - this resource is usually hosted by a third party.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">The benefits of cloud storage are numerous. For one, Cloud storage allows stored documents to be accessed anywhere, on more or less any internet-enabled device. This effectively means that the days in which documents are limited to one device or one location are over.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Again, cloud storage can be particularly useful to businesses with frequently travelling employees. For example, cloud storage could potentially increase the productivity of their travelling hours as they would (could) have access to a full range of documents and files as they would if they were physically at work.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Different cloud hosting platforms have different benefits. Microsoft SkyDrive for example offers full synchronization with Office 365 - Microsoft's cloud based platform for the Microsoft Office software. This could be particularly useful for companies that frequently use Microsoft products and need a number of people to view/edit the same file.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><strong><u>BYOD</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">BYOD - or Bring Your Own Device - is a fairly new phenomenon, and, as the name suggests, is the practice of bringing your own computing device to work and connecting to the corporate network. It is sometimes referred to as the consumerisation of IT.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">A joint survey released by Intel and Dell indicates that the reason for this could be that employees are looking to break out of the 9-5 routine and BYOD effectively allows them to work when they want, where they want.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">There are concerns from some corners stating that BYOD compromises the security of their corporate network and data.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Other reasons stated for implementation of BYOD are to increase the competitiveness of a company and to streamline business operations.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><strong><u>Unified Communications</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Unified Communications is defined as the integration of real-time communications methods including: Instant Messaging, Telephony, Video conferencing with non-real-time methods such as SMS, e-mail and fax. The purpose of this is to streamline business processes.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
