This document advertises legal services from a law firm for expunging criminal records. It notes that a new Pennsylvania law allows expunging most misdemeanor offenses. It encourages contacting the firm to help correct past mistakes and expunge criminal records, so one can write a new chapter in their life. The firm handles various legal areas including expungements, estate planning, employment law, real estate, and personal injury.
This document discusses how the practice of law has changed over time due to innovations in technology and firm management. It describes how law firms have transitioned from using typewriters to modern computers and digital documentation. Associates now bill more hours annually and clients expect faster response times. Firms now employ more managers and non-lawyers. They also focus more on business development, diversity, and work-life balance compared to past eras when law was more individualistic. The globalization of business has further transformed legal practice to become more collaborative and internationally connected.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) faced many challenges in 2013 providing medical assistance around the world. Political instability and violence in countries like South Sudan, Central African Republic, Syria, and Somalia led to massive displacement of people and collapse of healthcare systems. MSF had to withdraw from Somalia after 22 years of continuous work due to threats and violence against staff. In Syria, MSF could only operate in opposition-held areas with instability remaining a constant challenge. MSF responded to numerous emergencies and outbreaks worldwide, providing over 800,000 medical consultations in Central African Republic alone. MSF spoke out about restrictions on humanitarian access and the failure of the international system to respond adequately to crises.

The term Internet of Things (Often abbreviated IOT) was coined more than ten years ago by industry researchers but has emerged into mainstream public view only more recently. Some claim the Internet of Things will completely transform how computer networks are used for the next 10 or 100 years, while others believe Internet Of Things is hype that won't much impact the daily lives of most people.
Avaya is reorganizing its product and R&D functions around three divisions: Avaya Networking, Avaya Collaboration Infrastructure, and Avaya Applications and Emerging Technology.

The goal is to more quickly move ideas from research into testing and delivery of new applications and services to market.

Rod Sagarsee is the first President of the newly formed International Avaya Users Group (IAUG), which was created through the merger of three previous Avaya user groups.

The law firm Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione overhauled their aging phone system by implementing a new VoIP system from Avaya. The new system is saving the firm money by reducing long-distance charges and allowing free conferencing. It is also improving productivity by providing unified messaging, mobile access to calls, and videoconferencing capabilities. The implementation was successful due to extensive research, network assessment, and strong support from Avaya and CDW during deployment. The firm expects the system to pay for itself within the first year through cost savings and efficiency gains.
The document discusses implementing a unified communications (UC) strategy at a law firm. It describes how the firm researched UC technologies over eight months before implementing an Avaya VoIP phone system in 2006. The implementation included VoIP phones for all offices, standardized models for different user groups, and redundancy features. The author notes that while technology choices are important, proper integration with existing networks is essential for a UC system to succeed.
