Trinbago Christmas!

The count down to Christmas is on... I love Christmas in the Caribbean definitely is the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas traditions in Trinidad and Tobago are very enjoyable. From the preparations i.e. house cleaning, painting, decorating etc., to the delicious food and drink, sorrel, pastelles, ham, black cake fruit cake!!! My family always kept the tradition alive and waited to hang curtains and bake on Christmas Eve. 

The true meaning of Christmas is associated with Christ and celebrates his birth and coming to save the world from darkness. As a Christian, I ensure not only to attend church but I try my best to give God thanks for sending his Son Jesus Christ to die on that cross on Calvary hill for my sins and the sins of this world. 

Business have been trying to remove Christ from the center and replace him with, Santa Clause, Christmas trees and everything else but I would like you to stop and think about it this Christmas and take some time to acknowledge the reason for the season.

Bring Your Own Device BYOD

What is BYOD?

Devices in the work place are increasing in number, and more and more businesses are allowing their employees to bring their mobile devices and have the IT department set it up with email and access to the company IT network. This is known as Bring Your Own Device or BOYD. This trend is being adopted a lot more in emerging markets. 

To some it may seem as disruptive, but with daily advancements in technology and employee enthusiasm for new gadgets, this trend is on the rise, some companies have gone so far as to introduce a BYOD Policy to ensure security. This is definitely important to ensure that employees know their responsibilities, and that rules and guidelines are clear.
