FastCompany, Kaihan Krippendorf
Kaihan Krippendorf highlights Steve Woodard, CEO of Quadrant and
Softbase in his Fast Company blog post. The article gives advice on “how
to pivot faster than your competition”, which discusses how Steve manages two
fast-growing technology companies and uses weekly meetings as a way to stay ahead of the competition.
“Steve Woodard is the CEO of two fast-growing tech companies, Quadrant
Software and SoftBase. We had a fascinating discussion about how he manages double what most of us juggle. A lot of it has to do with having clear goals and communicating them often, always having a door open so people know they can reach you 24/7, and building a management team you can trust.”

Retail Solutions Online, Bob Johns
Citizen Watch Company Of America sells exclusively through relationships with top retailers. As these retailers are increasing sales online, Citizen is being asked to handle online orders completely in-house. Retailers everywhere are migrating from warehouse inventory shipping to more direct-ship methods and shifting the costs of inventory, picking, packaging, and shipping to the manufacturers and suppliers. Kohl’s Department Stores is a leading seller of Citizen watches through its brick-and-mortar stores, but it wanted to sell Citizen watches through its retail website and needed Citizen to begin direct shipping all Internet orders before the 2011 holiday shopping season began.

Lowly Fax Still Essential to Business, Study Says
IT Jungle, Alex Woodie
You can add one more item to the list of man’s creations that were supposed to have died out by now but hasn’t: the fax machine. When it was first invented, 168 years ago (no that’s not a misprint), the fax revolutionized the way we viewed documents. Today, despite the growing use of unified communications (UC) over IP networks, the lowly fax machine is used daily by an estimated 40 percent of workers at small and medium sized businesses, according to a recent Intel study.

The Difference in Fax Use on the Other Side of the Pond
TMCNet, Juliana Kenny
A recent survey by Intel (News – Alert) revealed that 40 percent of small businesses in the U.K. are still using fax machines. As we love to discuss on the Fax online community, of course, fax technologies are nowhere near “dead” or “dinosaur-ish” as some purport.
Fax is used in different capacities all over the world, including “FoIP” which stands for fax-over-IP. Its use is doubling each year, but the use of it varies from nation to nation. Those of us in the U.S. use fax technologies differently than those in the U.K. To get some more insight into how exactly fax is used differently, I talked with Steve Woodard, CEO of Quadrant Software.

TMCNet, Juliana Kenny
I’m willing to bet that the average person does not really spend time thinking about how secure his or her faxes are, and what kinds of risks are involved when sending documents over fax networks. As it is, many users are still unaware of how insecure email can be – a shocking fact considering how long email has been around.
To get more insight into how exactly we perceive fraudulent activities in relation to fax, FoIP, email, and other technological processes that require the transfer of documentation over various networks, I reached out to Steve Woodard, CEO at Quadrant Software.
Corporate Check Security – Preventing Fraud While Achieving Process Improvement
TMCNet, Financial Tech Spotlight
Check fraud at the corporate level has reached epidemic proportions with losses ranging between $10 and $14 billion per year in the U.S. alone, according to recent findings from Nielsen Report and Ernst & Young. But check fraud continues unabated because most companies either don’t think it can happen to them, or are under the misconception that they have all the safeguards they need in place. In short, check fraud flourishes because there is an abundant supply of companies who make getting away with it easy.
