When it comes to Legal Process Outsourcing who is better Virtual Assistant or Freelancer?


Outsourcing has become the order of the day, and most companies in the developed countries prefer to outsource their high-end business processes along with non-core competencies that are known for their drudgery. Most companies are looking to hire a virtual assistant on a full-time basis instead of depending on freelancers. Not without reason too, because apart from a sense of loyalty that gets built over a period of time, you get consistent service when you hire a virtual assistant instead of outsourcing to a freelancer who believes in the ‘first-come-first-served’ principle.

Huge corporations can afford to open offshore offices and hire local talent to get their work done. This is also a type of outsourcing though the employees are working full-time for these companies and need to extend all the benefits due to a full-time employee. However, small and medium businesses cannot afford to open offices; hence outsourcing is the best option they have. However, when they outsource to freelancers located in various parts of the world, they cannot bet on these resources to be reliable. When they decide to partner with virtual assistant services providers, they are assured of consistent and quality work.

India has some of the best virtual assistant companies and outsourcing to these companies makes better sense. The virtual employees employed with such virtual assistant services are more reliable and can be treated the same way you would treat your regular employee. The only difference probably lies in the fact that they will be operating from a remote location, though in today’s world of advanced technology, this should not pose much of a problem.

The hardware and software requirements are taken care of by the virtual assistant company and they monitor the work done by the virtual assistants. Moreover, you can have video conference calls to explain the intricacies of your business directly when you hire a virtual assistant instead of a freelancer who may not be as well equipped as any of the virtual assistant companies. Moreover virtual assistant companies ensure that their virtual assistants are well trained in all aspects of Legal Processes and the various compliance requirements associated with them.

It makes sense to hire a virtual assistant because:
  • You can contact them on a daily basis and get updates on the work progress
  • Have direct contact with the person handling the tasks and pass on guidelines directly
  • Talk to the virtual employee and motivate him or her to produce better results
  • Be free of any security issues as the environment is 100% safe and secure
  • Watch the progress of the project right from scratch up to the completion
While a freelancer may work for many companies at the same time, when you tie-up with virtual assistant companies they offer dedicated services. You get to also work closely with the virtual assistant and monitor the progress on a daily basis. Hence, it makes sense to outsource any of the best virtual assistant companies like Infognana instead of relying on freelancers who may not be dependable at all times.

The Twenty Most Commonly Incurred Advertising Expenses for Small Businesses


As a small business owner you may be overwhelmed by the advertising expenses you incur to keep your business going. However, if you let a bookkeeping and accounting services provider monitor all your advertising and other expenses and incomes, you’ll probably have more time to focus on your core competencies and improve your business. Here’s a concise list of twenty most commonly incurred advertising expenses you should be aware of as a small business owner:
  1. Fees incurred for engaging a graphic designer for creating your logos, e business cards, postcards, electronic banners, billboards, e brochures, online ads and other such materials that are required to promote your business.
  2. The same such promotional materials that need to be printed as hard copies, including business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures and various coupons.
  3. Signs that need to be put up on storefronts.
  4. Mobile publicity material to be displayed on vehicles.
  5. Advertisements on yellow pages, other business directories.
  6. Advertisements over the FM radio and podcasts.
  7. Advertisements on magazines both digital magazines and the regular hard copy magazines.
  8. Commercials on TV
  9. Setting up a website and maintaining it, including search engine optimization.
  10. Online advertisements, including paid ads on Google, like PPC (pay-per-click).
  11. Promotions on the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
  12. Promotional T-shirts with logos printed, as well as printed mugs, pens, and other stationery etc.
  13. Gas balloon promotions that cover the neighborhood areas.
  14. Party promotions, including refreshment and decoration expenses.
  15. Attractive Packaging and designing for various products.
  16. Sponsoring sporting activities including soccer matches, car rallies etc.
  17. Charitable donations to the local schools and NGOs.
  18. Participating in promotional parades to distribute handouts, frisbees etc.
  19. Sample promotions that are normally given away free to create product awareness.
  20. Advertisements highlighting the services rendered by charitable organizations.
Not all of the above advertising expenses may be deductible. In case you classify some of the expenses as deductible, remember that they can never be used for personal gain. That is why it is important to outsource handling of accounts to a professional bookkeeping and accounting services provider who will tell you how you can save on deductions and other taxes. Most of the common advertisement expenses are accepted as standard deductions by the IRS; however it is always good to allow a professional company like Infognana to handle such delicate accounting matters lest the IRS is after you for unpaid taxes.

Six Top Trends in Web Developing in 2016


Of late, the hottest topic in web designing circles is responsive web designing. This is not very surprising, given the surge in the number of Smartphone users, who constitute a substantial portion of online shoppers on the go today. However, there are some other popular trends in web developing that we cannot ignore, here are the top six: A good software development company in Dallas can provide you all the latest trends.
Surge in UI Patterns:
Responsive Web designing has been adopted by almost all serious developers, hence there seems to a problem that persists – all sites look almost similar in design and appearance. In addition to responsive web designing, the proliferation of WordPress sites is also a major contributor. Not that it is undesirable to have a site that looks like someone else's, as long as it is not termed a "mirror site" by Google. The problem is that there are too many common UI patterns that all web designers tend to use. One cannot do away with UI patterns and they will be in use well into 2016 and beyond.
Prompting to Register:
Invariably, you will find that there is a request asking you to fill a form with some basic personal details, sometimes a button that lets you register using your social credentials media opting for multi-step form wizards makes sense as they reduce the required fields, thus saving time for the visitor.
Endless Scrolling:
Another common web design peculiarity is making users getting used to endless scrolls, a special thanks to mobile users who are adept at this. Keeping all elements above the fold no longer holds water in today's scenario. The trick lies in breaking the scroll at regular intervals, making the users believe that they are not scrolling continuously, while they actually are.
Generous sprinkling of animations:
Today's Web designing trends include using animations generously, which enhances the storytelling effect adding to the user experience and engagement. While large scale animations are being used increasingly, they have the desired effect when used as pop-ups that appear briefly. Small scale animations like hovering tools, spinners and loading bars can function without any inputs from the visitors.
Material Design:
Thanks to Google for launching Material Design that enhances the design experience and helps achieve greater levels using shadow effects and new regions of movement that make the designs look more real-time. Material Design helps create flawless, real-time designs focusing on UX. This form of design is preferred to the flat design that was in use until now as it creates the depth and shadow effect that is more pronounced.
Responsive Web Designing:
While the Responsive Web Designing trend was started quite a while ago, it is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to the hordes of Smartphone users who use their mobiles instead of PCs and other hand held devices. Responsive Web designing is here to stay and the beauty is that it is not very difficult to implement. Most of the new sites are being designed to be mobile friendly, and even quite a few old websites have been redesigned to be responsive.

The Launch of a Digital Magazine and the Ad Revenue it can Generate

014
Usually only people in the know would venture into starting a new digital magazine. An unconnected e publishing company wouldn’t dare to tread an area it has either no idea about, or the right connections. Only companies that have exposure in the niche field would realize the potential that lies in starting a new digital magazine within that niche itself.
It is like having the cake and eating it as well when there is no dearth of the right contacts along with a keen insight about this business, which is certainly a winning combination for any of the e publishing services that aspire to add a digital magazine to their repertoire. Add to this a burning desire on the part of the promoter to succeed, thanks to the combination of a high degree of motivation coupled with readiness to put in extra effort. This is indeed a winning combination, an opportunity that does not come that easily to all.
It is surprising though, that promoters of most e publishing companies hesitate to open up, even to ad professionals about the spark of an idea that ignited within them, prompting them to dare venture into this specialized niche. This may be a grave fault on the part of such promoters who have made up their minds to start a new digital magazine. With all the activity going on behind the scenes, it is indeed a shocking surprise that is sprung at the last moment, when the entire advertising fraternity becomes aware of such an enterprise in the offing, that too with an incredibly short deadline that may be just a couple of months.
Professionals exploring the possibility of launching a digital magazine need to open up in advance, so that the information reaches the right people in the industry. Such a brash approach often results in provoking the right feedback that may do you good when the same advertising fraternity has to be reached out to with the proposal they become part of your endeavor. To put things in the right perspective, it makes better sense to keep the advertisers in the loop well in advance, even before you have worked on the rates you propose to charge.
In short new Digital publishers need to:
  • Collaborate with the advertising fraternity and keep them in the loop to get new leads well in advance.
  • Showcase the proposed structure of things to come at the pre-launch stage itself, which can help prevail upon them to sign up right away.
  • Attract the advertisers with a publicity blitz that centers around your advertising program.
  • Give enough hints about a price-friendly tariff structure that offers generous options for part pre-payments, and a structured option for long term mutual benefit.
  • No freebies or massive discounts at the outset itself – Rather a hint of things to come in the near future.

Efficient back-end for an effective front end: software development


In earlier days kids had their share of entertainment playing outdoors. Today, well you know what the case is! The development of software and its coding techniques have paved way for much smarter machines and devices that has taken us to the world beyond. Technology has very much become a part of everyday life for almost everyone.
In the recent times the trend has rapidly changed towards adapting to the comfort of what the technology has to offer without the fear of facing constant change. The change is not occurring slowly, it happens in leaps and bound. The devices that we were totally dependent on just a few years back are totally extinct today, like floppy disks, pagers etc.
The generation of devices does not last long enough to be even thoroughly understood or completely utilized. "The only thing that is constant is change" – this saying holds very much true in this software industry. With the technology, the methods to develop software also have magnified extensively.
If we still talking in giga-bytes and tera-byte then it is very much time to get ourselves introduced to zotta-bytes and bronto-bytes.
the art of code and beyond
Knowing how to swim in a pool will not get you through an ocean. Software development is not just about coding, it involves a series of processes even before the actual coding starts. The software development company Dallas begins their process with:
  •  Understanding the end user requirement,
  • conceptualizing the idea,
  • prototyping,
  • coding,
  • testing,
  • deploying, and
  • maintenance
the future-ready software
The impact of the end product is an important factor to be taken in to consideration before developing any software. The sustainability of the product is your survival factor; it is not enough to just satisfy the immediate use, a possibility of further exploration will definitely have a better reach. The scope of the software product should clearly define the deliverables of the product, and the further investigation possibilities.
the right partnership:It is not about choosing the one, but about choosing the best one!
Choosing a software development company as your service provider who will guide your thorough all the possibilities of creating a software product, and help you understand the impact factors, will give you the ultimate advantage. With deep industry expertise, flexible methods, and continuous learning Infognana commits at delivering successful customized software solutions of any size and shape that is technologically imaginable, and that makes sense.
