Benefits of Modular Software
Posted on November 6th, 2011
Traditional software can often be very restrictive for the end-user. There is usually little, if any, flexibility in terms of the product you receive.
This one size fits all approach that many vendors take towards providing software is purely for their own benefit. By offering limited software fit for one specific purpose that isnt very flexible, it allows them to keep charging their customers over-the-odds annually for the same product with only minor changes.
At WinWeb, we like to give our customers more freedom of choice. We provide a fully customisable modular software suite that users can add or take away from at any time depending on their current requirements.
We feel that this is the best way to provide good value to our customers.

Jobs Report Due out Friday
Posted on November 2nd, 2011
The nation’s economy added 80-thousand jobs last month, but that barely touched the unemployment rate.
The jobless rate for October fell one-tenth, to nine-percent.
The modest decline in the unemployment rate was slightly better than the forecast of economists who expected no change.
However the addition of 80-thousand jobs was below the 95-thousand figure economists had predicted.
Original report:
The November jobs report comes out today. The Labor Department will determine how many new jobs were created last month. Economists predict small growth, with the jobless rate stuck at 9.1%, as the Senate rejects the latest breakout of President Obama’s jobs plan.
That plan seems to be going nowhere on Capitol Hill, leaving millions of unemployed Americans competing for very few jobs.
At this Nissan job fair in Tennessee, 5,000 people lined up for 1,600 jobs, roughly three applicants for every job available. Read full article…

Agencies develop an “app”-titude for going mobile
Posted on November 2nd, 2011
Web Editor
As more and more people access the Internet through mobile devices, agencies must face the challenge of adapting to this shift in the user interface.
Gwynne Kostin, director of mobile at the General Services Administration’s Office of Citizen Services & Innovative Technologies, spoke to about how an agency can better monitor and evaluate its mobile strategy to make sure it’s accomplishing its mission.
“Looking at the growth of mobile, 96 percent of the people between the ages of 18 and 24 own a mobile device,” said Kostin. “So how do we actually start thinking about delivering services to those people where they are?”
According to Kostin, one of the toughest things regarding the shift to mobile is deciding which is the best way to reach your customers. It’s a problem that’s not specific to government.

Americans spending more with income almost flat
Posted on October 29th, 2011
WASHINGTON – Americans are making a little more money and spending a lot more.
Under normal circumstances, that would be a troubling sign for the economy. But a closer look at some new government figures suggests another possibility: People are saving less money because they’re earning next to nothing in interest.
Saving is already difficult because of more expensive gas and food. It’s even tougher because of the lower returns – the flip side of super-low interest rates that the Federal Reserve has kept in place since 2008 to help the economy.
Critics say the Fed is punishing those who play by the rules – those careful enough to set aside money for savings or people who built up a nest egg and are living on fixed incomes that depend on interest.
Americans spent 0.6 percent more in September, three times the increase from the previous month, the government said Friday.
