Announcement: ImaMenu Server Security Update with Downtime (07/02/2024)

6月

29日

We’re happy to announce that we’re upgrading our operating system (OS) for ImaMenu's server.

We’re upgrading our OS from Cent OS7 to Alma Linux 8 since there will no longer be technical support for Cent OS7 after June 30, 2024, in a continued effort to strive towards making sure our hosting service is the safest it can be. With this new upgrade, it will help patch any vulnerabilities to defend users against cyber threats and also support new encryption protocols.

However, updating the OS will result in about 10 minutes of downtime. You may not be able to access the service during this time, so we thought you should know ahead of time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This server upgrade will occur on:

*USA Pacific Daylight Time
- July 2nd (Tuesday) 10:00-10:30am

*Japan Time
- July 3rd (Wednesday) 2:00-2:30am

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 (preferred) or email us at support@pspinc.com.

We would be happy to answer any of your questions by phone or email.

Apple and OpenAI’s New Partnership

6月

26日

In February 2024, Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, confirmed Apple was investing a “tremendous amount of time and effort” in AI, adding that he’d comment on more details later in the year. That time has finally come as Apple announced they’d integrate ChatGPT into Apple products in a new partnership with OpenAI on June 10 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). In the next iOS version, iOS 18, Siri and Apple’s Writing Tools will be able to use ChatGPT technology, including image and document understanding.

What We Know So Far

Apple and OpenAI’s new deal will bring a range of AI-powered features to Apple devices as Apple integrates ChatGPT’s technology into Siri and Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools. Soon, Apple users can ask Siri more complex questions like generating ideas for dinner or creating custom bedtime stories. With Apple’s Writing Tools, users will also be able to generate written content and images using ChatGPT’s intelligence.

The main concern, however, consists of user privacy and control. With multiple employees leaving OpenAI over safety concerns, it begs the question: how safe will these new AI-powered features be? Regarding security, Apple has ensured that using ChatGPT will require explicit permission from users and clarified that a significant portion of AI processing will be handled on-device to ensure privacy and maintain speed. Additionally, users will also have the option to connect their existing ChatGPT subscriptions to access additional features.

What This Means

There is still plenty we don’t know about how this will look once Apple releases iOS 18, but we do know that Apple is deliberately making their move towards using more AI-powered technology. Their move toward working with OpenAI rather than starting from scratch shows they see the value in OpenAI’s leadership in the AI space thus far and will continue moving AI technology to the mainstream. However, they must keep AI regulations and overall security concerns in mind as they continue investing heavily in AI.

21日

Web hosting is the infrastructure that keeps your website running on the internet, so it’s important to have a reliable web hosting provider to ensure it’s up and running 24/7. But as simple as it seems, web hosting involves several different things, including:

Accessibility and performance: web hosting lets people access your website and ensures it runs smoothly 24/7.
Domain name services: every website needs a domain name, usually coming from a web hosting provider.
Technical support and maintenance: when website owners need to ask questions or troubleshoot their website, web hosting providers generally offer tech support with a high uptime (99.9%).
Custom email addresses: many hosting providers, PSPINC included, also offer email hosting services where website owners can create custom email addresses with their domain, which improves your professional reputation.

Dreamersi is PSPINC’s premiere web and email hosting service, making it easy for customers to get a professional website up and running in just 15 minutes. With decades of experience, our team has the expertise you need to keep your website running with ease. Get started today.

What is a CRM?

6月

12日

CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, typically refers to a business’s practices, strategies, and technologies to manage and analyze customer data. Generally, when people talk about a CRM, they’re generally referring to a CRM system or software. With effective CRM software, you can track your business’s growth while streamlining customer management with a data-driven approach.

Benefits of CRM Software

So, why should you use a CRM for your business? For its many benefits, which include:

Improved customer service

With CRM software, your business can easily track a customer’s every interaction, from social media likes to phone calls, which gives you more insight into a customer’s overall journey with your company from beginning to end. In fact, we use our own free CRM software, PSP Pilot, to do just that. Being equipped with this knowledge will therefore lead to understanding your customers better, improving your overall interactions, and building stronger relationships.

Data-driven decisions

The abundance of customer data a CRM provides isn’t just beneficial in running your business efficiently, but it can also influence future decisions that are driven by data. A CRM may reveal overarching trends amongst multiple customers, which can persuade upper management to work towards fixing any problems or fulfill a need that’s currently lacking.

Enhanced collaboration

CRM software doesn’t just help salespeople manage customers, it’s also instrumental in enhancing communication between coworkers, especially those in different departments. With CRM software, everyone can access the same data which then fosters a much more collaborative workplace.

Sales and Conversions Boosts

CRM software creates a clear picture of the sales pipeline, simplifying the overall process of tracking leads and sales transactions and empowering your sales team with the data they need to prioritize qualified leads and close deals faster. With an AI-powered CRM system, automating tasks could also be a possibility.

Today, having a CRM for your business is crucial, regardless of how big or small your company is. With how competitive the business sector is today, employing an effective CRM for your business will only make it easier to streamline overall operations and grow your business. If you're looking for CRM software for your business, consider our free CRM solution, PSP Pilot, to better manage your business.
