Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) Information

Just wanted to get the word out that my corporate website, Chariot Enterprises, now has a section dedicated to the FAA’s Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) for training aircrew and associated support personnel.  There is currently a paper summarizing AQP and another discussing the various aspects of costing out an AQP development effort.  I trust that those interested in this program will find the site useful and of assistance in their AQP development efforts.

How Easy Is Office Live Small Business?

Found a great video that very clearly demonstrates just how easy it is to create and edit your public facing website built with the FREE Microsoft® Office Live Small Business system.  As Microsoft® says, “Your Office Live Small Business Web site should have a unique look that reflects your business needs. This video shows you how to customize your header, create a color scheme, and add a gradient site background to unify your overall site look and feel. You'll also learn to customize the layout and add an image to the background of a page.”

Office 2010

Mircrosoft’s® Worldwide Partner Conference (#WPC09) kicks off next Monday (July 13th) in New Orleans.  Rumor is that there will be demonstrations of both Office Web and Office 2010 Beta as well as an announcement of Windows 7’s release to manufacturing (RTM).  If you lead a boring life in the office, Office 2010 could bring some "excitment" to it: smile_wink

Tomorrow’s Technology - Today

Ran across an excellent presentation by Microsoft’s Business Division President Stephen Elop that shows what we might see in terms of information technology within the next 10 years:

   

 


Video: Future Vision Montage

A lot of this technology is undergoing testing at Microsoft’s Office Labs and you can “play” with some of these items – for example:

  • Canvas for OneNote - a different way to sort through and work with your OneNote content. Canvas for OneNote gives you the ability to spread out your pages across a canvas for alternate navigation, editing, and organization.
  • Chart Advisor - a faster way to get the best chart for your data. Chart Advisor provides improved options to generate better presentation and visuals for your data.
  • pptPlex - add some “zoom” to your presentations. By transforming your PowerPoint presentation into a zoom-able canvas, pptPlex expands the ways you can display your slides.
  • StickySorter - an easier way to organize brainstorms. StickySorter offers idea generation and organizing tools designed to save you time and improve your results.

Increasing Your Business Productivity

Haven't been out here much the past 2 months or so as we've been busy gearing up for the 2009 Hurricane Season down in FL.  Our local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) has been busy with training, Hurricane Exercises (HUREXs), and supporting local community events.  I've been working to develop a MS Office Live Small Business application to support CERT in managing personnel and equipment resources as well as financial expenditures and Emergency Management taskings during a disaster.

However, today I came across a nice video from Microsoft on how businesses can use Office 2007 (specifically Excel and Office Live Workspaces) to increase their productivity and understanding of their business data: Pump Up Productivity with Office 2007.

Don't have the time or the know-how to do it? That's why we're here - visit us at Chariot Enterprises to see how we can help!
