Georgia-Based Technology Firm Guidance Consulting Ties Business and Technology
Duluth, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 14, 2010 — The team of experts at Guidance Consulting has been working on a way to streamline the use of technology for business for years. “We’ve always provided ways for companies to increase productivity and communication through the use of strong IT networks,” says Guidance Consulting senior consultant Daniel Gottilla. “But we’ve recently incorporated a new metrics assessment and policy management plan that has transformed the way we work so that IT infrastructure changes actually change a company’s infrastructure.”
The Guidance Consulting approach is fairly straightforward. Most companies who hire the IT firm are looking for ways to increase information security options or create disaster recovery plans that allow for workforce continuity. This traditional focus is about keeping information secure and keeping things running smoothly even when the unthinkable occurs. With the new focus on assessments and metrics, Guidance Consulting is able to look at a company’s infrastructure and locate not only where weaknesses exist in terms of security, but where weaknesses might also be contributing to lower online sales, customer satisfaction, or even ease of use of the existing hardware.
“What’s really exciting about the way we’re approaching IT consulting is that together with our clients, we create visible results company-wide,” Gottilla says. “We can make changes to existing policies and procedures and even train employees on getting the most out of technology.”
This focus is one that IT consulting firms have to consider in order to meet the growing demands of a diverse workforce. With employees working remotely and relying on new technologies for communication and productivity, it’s more important than ever before to incorporate new and innovate IT tools.
“We’re about IT solutions,” Gottilla adds. “Sometimes, that means going beyond fixing a problem to just finding better ways to do things. And that’s what we do.”

What are Pond Filters Used For?
Pond filters are the most important part of owning a pond that will support aquatic life such as fish, frogs and turtles. They are the key element in keeping water clean and safe for the inhabitants. Water is pulled from the pond via a pump and routed into a filter where it can be cleaned. Depending upon the type and size of the pond filter, there can be various modes of filtration from mechanical, whereby pieces of debris and waste are caught in pads where they can be broken down or manually removed. Most filters also provide biological filtration. This means the inside of the filter supports colonies of beneficial bacteria which help with breaking down toxic chemicals such as ammonia and nitrites to keep the water safe. Additional types of filter media can also be added into a filter to also filter out chemicals like medications, dyes and even chlorine. Finally, pond filters can also be outfitted with UV filtration. UV lights can be added to kill floating algae and harmful bacteria to further enhance the water clarity.
Pond filters need to be sized so that they can accommodate the total volume of water your pond contains. So if you have a 1000 gal pond, you would need a filter capable of filtering 1000 gallons of water…possibly even larger if you have many fish. You will also need a pump that can pump that much water per hour. Check the manufacturer’s specs on the box to determine the capacity of the filter and pump.
Remember, if you keep your water well filtered, your aquatic pets will love you for it.
What is Guaranteed Issue Health Insurance?
Guaranteed issue health insurance plans are plans that are available to people who do not qualify for standard full coverage major medical insurance. Virtually everyone qualifies for guaranteed issue health insurance as pre-existing conditions or other health related issues which normally excludes people from major medical insurance does not apply. The only reason a person would get rejected for a guaranteed plan is due to a history of fraud or non payment of premiums.
A guaranteed issue health insurance plan is not a major medical health insurance policy and therefore only covers certain specified aspects of health care. For instance, it is possible to buy a personal accident indemnity plan. In this policy, the insurance company will only cover the benefits related to personal accidents, such as dislocations, burns, fractures, paralysis, surgical procedures, lacerations, comas and brain concussions that have resulted from a covered accident. This plan includes emergency room fees, follow-up treatments and hospital confinement benefits, including intensive care benefits that are a result of the covered accident. Most types of accidents are covered, but there are several exclusions as well, such as any type of accident that results while the driver is under the influence of a controlled substance or while intoxicated. Mountaineering accidents that include using ropes and/or related equipment, parachuting, or hang gliding are excluded from the policy as well as sport-related injuries for individuals that are working for a wage, including officials and coaches. These are just a few exclusions that are in the accident policy. I highly recommend reading through the exclusions section of the insurance company’s brochure before purchasing a policy. Nothing is more maddening than finding out after the fact that your insurance doesn’t cover the accident you had last week.
You should check with insurance carrier or your local health insurance agent on the specifics of a guaranteed issue plan, but they can be a lifesaver when major medical insurance is not available.
