In the spirit of green IT, we asked SysAiders this past September whether or not they thought their organizations could go 100% paperless. The results were optimistic: of those surveyed, 57% believed that while a 100% reduction isn't feasible, they could definitely make some big changes to reduce their paper consumption. Another 24% said that some kind of reduction would be possible, and an enthusiastic 7% were committed to going paperless all the way. As a new spirit of eco-friendliness sweeps the world, IT pros are increasingly adopting greener attitudes and are evaluating how their day-to-day tasks impact the environment.
In line with this commitment to change, we decided to give you a tip on how SysAid can help you reduce paper waste with SNMP. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an important component of SysAid's Monitoring module, and the idea behind it is that you can monitor all of the devices in your network , large and small - everything from your telephones to the level of ink that's left in your printer. Within SysAid, you can define certain parameters so that you'll be able to monitor the number of pages that are printed in your organization. Want to see how SNMP can help you establish greener IT practices? Check out our new Green IT Flash Tutorial!
You can track this data over time to get a bigger picture of where your organization stands in terms of paper waste. From there, you can develop a reasonable goal for reduction for the future. Making the switch to greener IT is not only an altruistic move, but also carries a strong monetary incentive to cut costs.
Whatever your paper reduction goal may be, SysAid can help you get there: advertise your initiative in your news posts and automatic notifications and evaluate its success with SNMP monitoring. Just another SysAid feature that can help you contribute to the success of your organization - and in this case, planet Earth, too!

"A magical and revolutionary product.” With these lofty words, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dramatically unveiled the highly anticipated new iPad over a month ago. Falling somewhere between a laptop and a smart phone, this 1.5 pound, 9.7 inch tablet has elicited quite the response from bloggers, tech enthusiasts, and journalists worldwide. Some hail the iPad as the next great business device, and one enthusiastic reviewer at www.guardian.co.uk went as far as to say:
“For anyone who loves new technology, getting the first touch of a new Apple device is a little like laying hands on the Shroud of Turin, or seeing a unicorn: the first experience of a mythical object imbued with magical properties.”
On the opposing side, critics are quick to point out the functionality failures of the iPad (Where’s the camera? No support for Adobe Flash?) Some have slammed it as no more than a glorified iPod. In a recent interview, even Bill Gates had his two cents to add – and unlike with the 2007 release of the iPhone, he’s not losing any sleep over the iPad:
“It’s not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, ‘Oh my God, Microsoft didn’t aim high enough.’ It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‘Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.’ I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen, and a real keyboard – in other words a netbook – will be the mainstream on that.”
With all the buzz surrounding the iPad, we want to know your stance:
The early bird registration price for the SysAid Technology Conference expires tomorrow! You only have one more day to get 15% off the regular registration price - and if you come with a colleague, you'll each enjoy an additional 10% reduction. Now's the time to get more registration information and save - both $200 and your spot at the Conference!
From what we've heard from those who already registered, there are some key points that helped them get the approval they needed to register in time for the early bird price. I thought it would be helpful to pass the ideas along to you!
Here's what they had to say:
1. Diploma: You'll return to your IT department with a SysAid Technology Conference diploma testifying that you've mastered the latest methodologies in SysAid's many features and functionalities.
2. Exclusive Information: The material that will be covered at the Conference won't be available anywhere else. This is your only chance in 2010 to gain the important knowledge you need to get the most out of SysAid!

5. Immediate ROI: The skills you'll gain will give you a huge ROI both now and in the long run as you work faster, more efficiently, and more effectively. Any way you look at it, it's a great investment.
6. All-Inclusive Price: Unlike many other conferences, there are no hidden costs here. Accommodation at the MGM Grand, all meals, participation in every workshop, lecture materials - it's all covered.
7. Organizational Benefit: You'll learn how to better implement SysAid throughout your organization with advice from SysAid experts and the success stories of other SysAiders from around the world.

9. Special Group Deal: If you come with a colleague, you'll each enjoy a 10% discount off the 15% early bird reduction. Act now to save your seat and get a good bargain, too!
10. Inside SysAid: This is your only chance to meet the experts behind SysAid face-to-face. Share your ideas and let your voice be heard!
More than 100 people have expressed their interest in the early bird discount and we're currently processing more requests that are coming in as the date quickly approaches. (The early bird deadline is in less than a week – February 10!) We expect even more to come as we get closer to the deadline and of course many more as we approach the actual event. How about you – can we count you in as well?
Today's February 3, meaning you have exactly 1 week to catch the early bird price for the SysAid Technology Conference! Until February 10, you can save $200 off the regular registration price of $1395. If you come with a colleague, you'll each save an additional 10%, which comes to an almost $300 discount!

That method looks a lot more effective than mine! My process involved a big art eraser and ripping up a sheet of paper into five "houses" to rearrange on the desk (I don't recommend that tactic...) After reconsidering, I created a table similar to the one above and got the answer. Don't give up, people - you can do it!
