Last week on Tech Talk presented by SumnerOne, our lead engineer, Jeff Groby joined Guy Phillips and Julie Buck to talk about online scams. Julie was even so kind to welcome Jeff to KTRS with a fun saying from her many years on the radio, "Don't be nervous. Don't be rocky. You're our special guest disc jockey!" All joking aside, Jeff had a very serious topic to address: What are some different types of scams circulating and what part you can play in ensuring that they are unsuccessful.

SumnerOne is excited to bring Drake Systems, a strong, local company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma into our family of companies. Drake Systems has a well-known reputation in the Tulsa market for maintaining high standards of loyalty, fairness, and forthrightness.

March 31st is World Backup Day. This annual event was created to raise awareness about data preservation and backups. Even though this may be the day before April Fools, not backing up your data isn’t something to joke about.

Last week on Tech Talk, our IT expert, went into detail about the importance of password management. Steve even gave a few suggestions on free websites people can use to manage their multiple passwords. Let’s be honest, we’re all guilty of having to use that “Forgot Password” option. 

What is VoIP? The word is definitely fun to say, but what exactly does it mean for you and your business? VoIP is a term that refers to Voice over Internet Protocol. Still, what does that mean? This virtual phone system is also known as internet telephony, it converts voice vibrations to compressed digital signals that translate to internet protocol (IP) packets. These IP packets are then transmitted and converted into a regular telephone signal. In essence, it allows computer users and businesses to make telephone calls from a desktop computer or other connected devices that are equipped with VoIP technology. This is a valuable tool for businesses, but the other features and bonuses attached to switching to VoIP technology make the choice a no-brainer.

We want to start this off with a big "THANK YOU" to the great people at KTRS, Guy Phillips for making our radio debut such a great experience. We are really excited to continue with Tech Talk these next few weeks and see where things take us!
