Rave Reviews for Invizio’s Cracking the Code: Business Technology Seminar
Panelists: Marlon Hill, Kyle Hurst, Mico Yuk, Kevin V. Michael, Jaret Davis
Despite a few stubborn sun showers that blanketed the morning sky, the Cracking the Code: Business Technology half day seminar got off to a brisk start at Jungle Island as attendees streamed into the event to learn about current trends and best practices in business technology, how to go virtual, and how disaster proof their business. With opening remarks from the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce President, Bill Diggs, and an introductory address from seminar host Kevin V. Michael, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of managed IT services company Invizio, the stage was set for yet another engaging and interactive Business Empowerment Networking Series.
Title sponsor representative Sandy Sloane of Comcast Business Class took the stage to introduce a few of their services to the audience of entrepreneurs, business owners, tech enthusiasts and the like, after which the first workshop topic of the day was led by Kyle Hurst, Co-Founder of Invizio. Mr. Hurst discussed the importance of data backup as a key component of disaster recovery and preparedness. Stressing that all business owners should have 3 copies of their data, Kyle provided tangible strategies that business owners should employ to protect themselves.
In an economy where every company is being asked to do more with less, Kevin V. Michael followed with the workshop topic on “Communication and Collaboration Technologies of Tomorrow” and outlined the importance of online collaboration platforms like Google Apps, Office 365, and also discussed the growing trend of online meetings and videoconferencing for business use. Attendees took the time to share their experiences using these various tools, and before long it was clear that everyone was happy to weigh in on the discussion.

Next, Mico Yuk, CEO of Benchmarkers, took the stage to share her real world experiences in scaling and streamlining the processes of her Business Intelligence consulting firm. Engaging the crowd with her stories of, let’s just say, eventful online meetings, Ms. Yuk focused in on the effective use of time in a small business and demonstrated how business owners could leverage technology to improve the time spent building their capability in each functional area of their business.
Coming on the heels of Mico Yuk, Kevin V. Michael kicked off the second half of the workshop session by introducing the topic of cloud computing. Kevin keenly described what cloud computing involved and discussed software-as-service tools for accounting, project management and other tools with which the audience should make themselves familiar. Mr. Michael outlined the use of infrastructure-as-service as a viable technology for reducing capital investment in technology hardware and informed the audience of how to incorporate all the solutions discussed to create a business that has the freedom of being virtual. Closing out the workshop, Kyle Hurst took to the task of explaining various options that the busy professional has at their disposal for Internet connectivity while on the go.
