Lisa Hendrickson is the owner of Call That Girl. She is an Outlook Expert and Microsoft 365 Consultant.
The webinars are offered free to give people insight of how Office 365 can help your business. With so many people needing mobility for their work, managing multiple devices (Computers, phones, iPads, etc), it’s critical to have your data all “Synchronize”. Office 365 steps in and does most of the work for you!
In this 30 minute webinar, I will offer a quick review of the following:
Microsoft Exchange, how it manages your email/calendar/contacts and team sharing opportunities.
Office 2013, Should you upgrade your software
SharePoint, collaborating and co-authoring data, sharing within teams and external team members
Lync, online conferencing, chat and instant desktop sharing
OneDrive, for sharing data, pictures, videos on all devices/computers and phones
Pricing, Review of costs and added benefits
In addition, I will address:
•Misconceptions to Office 365 webinar sales
•If you bought it but don’t feel you are getting your money’s worth
•Are you paying for the wrong products?
•What you can do yourself and what you need to hire someone else to help with
Call comes in, client says they downloaded Adobe and now they have junk all over their computer, their search engine is messed up and they have pornographic ads on their google page. Yep, it’s happening! Just downloading an easy program like Adobe can do this to your computer, but come on….Adobe Reader is in Google right? Of course it is, but not at the top of your Google search. It’s about 4 down. See my picture below?
It shows you a basic search in Google for Adobe Reader I just did. The real one is the 4th one down, under the “Ads” that is sometimes hard to notice. I know this because the website is actually an Adobe website, not Adobereader.com or something of the like. Very tough to tell these days folks!
But hey Lisa, Adobe is downloaded and works, so what happened?
You did get Adobe, but it was bundled in a “download manager” filled with other junk! Search engine fun and other programs that are annoying. Sometimes you can download up to 20 programs! I have spent over an hour before removing this junk.
So please be mindful when Googling and if you are not sure, don’t do anything and call us to install the programs properly, which will end up being cheaper than a virus removal.

Believe me, I get tons of questions from clients about their upcoming migration from their current email to their new email platform. I will do my best to keep this page updated, as it seems the questions never end…but one question people have is this….how many people get migrated and want to go back to their old email? NONE.
Moving your email, calendar and contact management to Microsoft Exchange is just smart and you will love it.
Let’s get started!
I will continue to add to this blog post as more questions come to mind or are asked by clients.

This blog is long overdue. Since I have started using Windows 8, I have had many concerns over this operating system and it’s stability. In the beginning, the issues were mostly trying to figure out how to use the darn thing. Then after I figured out a nice “Windows 7” type shortcut to make it more user friendly, on comes the operating system issues. And trust me…there are many to deal with.
When clients hire me to assist them with their new computer purchase, as of recently, I have recommended they do not buy Windows 8, because I want them to just be able to work without a learning curve, but mostly because I want their computer to work reliably. For about the past year, the calls we get in for Windows 8 issues all differ, but the core problems are updates, Windows not rebooting correctly and having to fully re-install the operating system. Programs seem to run just fine and the junkware/virus removal calls are less, from what I have noticed. So in all fairness, Windows 8 runs fine, but if you have a snag….be ready for the worst.
Your data is your data and can you put a price on that? Pictures, memories, music collections, your taxes, your recipes, etc. Everything you love to do on your computer is priceless and cannot be get back affordably, and sometimes not at all if you suffer a tough hard drive crash. From my past experience, it’s rare that a client loses data and needs to have the hard drive sent off to Kroll, but being preventative makes re-installing or repairing your computer much easier and less costly.
Programs to use: Call That Girl has an in-house program that we resell. We watch your backups and you get email alerts knowing your data is in the cloud and backed up.
Mozy is a great program still and while I do not resell it anymore, I do recommend it.
Other programs such as Carbonite, are not my favorites because I have seen many clients missing data that was never originally considered “data” by Carbonite and therefore, not backed up.
To talk to us and get your Windows 8 computer on a backup system, contact us today. Call 612-865-4475 or email Lisa@callthatgirl.biz
Here is a video I created, the quality is not the best and I found out I need a new mic…but otherwise, instructions are good! 🙂

From the Home screen, tap Settings.
That’s all it should be to connect you with your exchange account. If you get taken to a screen asking for servers and such, start over. This is a common glitch with Apple products to do the process over again.
