Doctors and lawyers are two of the most universally respected careers. Having great earning potential gives people the perception that these jobs should be worth the inherent stress associated therein. The risks connected with these occupations, however, go far beyond the pressure of a typical job, arguably even others with high salaries. Intense workload, unrealistic demands, and lack of recognition make these careers some of the most stressful. Most workers also don’t fear a lawsuit if they make a mistake or are perceived to make a mistake at work. Piling on the anxiety for physicians and lawyers, the fear of litigation is a real threat for them, with over 1/3 of physicians having a malpractice claim against them at some point their careers, and 4 out of 5 lawyers experiencing at least one malpractice claim during their careers.

What if you could also display some awesome new printing capabilities and captivate your team members at the same time? The answer lies in treating your next workplace event like a trade show.

Rotary, wall, touchpads, cordless, cell, satellite-technology has come a long way in one hundred and fifty years. In 2019, people use phones regularly for personal and business use. Staying on top of important dates with calendar apps, checking in with coworkers using collaborative software, perusing e-mails between meetings, and sending text messages are all modern conveniences that Alexander Graham Bell wouldn't have dreamed of. All of those listed capabilities, however, are performed on a mobile phone. Mobile phones get replaced when their contracts expire or when they require service. What about office phone systems? When are they usually upgraded?
