The Tech Gap

CPAPodcasts Takes Early Lead in Aggregating Spoken Word Content

CPAPodcasts is the profession's first aggregator of spoken-word content. While we don't often, as a profession, move quickly to other technologies, their CEO, Micheal Rosedale, seems convinced we will do so to podcasting. Listen in (7 minutes, 6 seconds) as we discuss the what's, who's, how's and why's of this emerging technology and how it may change the way practicing accountants access some kinds of information.

GLL Interviews Thomson VP about Virtual Office

As a South Dakota native, and now-returned resident, I have to confess that the significance of the  "first day of hurricane season" has previously been pretty much lost on me. Until today, that is. I am attending the Florida Institute of CPAs Accounting & Business Expo in Orlando and somehow (go figure) this day seems to have some special meaning for Florida residents. Maybe it's the pounding they've taken over the past few years or their still-fresh memories of their neighbors a few states west. In either case, the CPAs here at the show are most definitely interested in products and services that might help the weather the next big one. I had a nice conversation with Teresa Mackintosh, VP of Marketing at Thomson Creative Solutions and we discussed what she's been hearing at their booth --- from both existing customers and those looking for new solutions.

[Interview runs ~6 minutes.]
