The Key Advantages of Using an IT Help Desk
Friday 7 May 2021, 10:44AM
  IT help desks are one of the most essential parts of any company’s IT department. They can keep everything running smoothly. They can handle things such as system outages, technical problems, and other issues. One of the advantages of having one is that they offer one point of contact to get the assistance they need quickly. The Key Capabilities An IT help desk lets you align business and IT departments for maximum productivity. They help departments communicate with each other, which can prevent breakdowns and glitches. It allows you to track and assign tickets. They let you manage your software and hardware assets and any contracts that go with them. That way, you can easily get the information and value your assets. The information allows you to make more data-driven decisions. Overall, help desks can allow your operation to run smoother and more efficiently. That’s because they standardize the typical IT processes to meet ITSM best practices. It is an important point of contact between your technology and your organization. Having one allows you to develop a usable, productive workflow for the business. What a Help Desk Encompasses Because these tools have so many roles in an organization, it’s essential that they use a range of applications besides simply providing tech support. You’ll want to find software that offers several key features. Change Management: This makes it possible to promote collaboration, reduce disruptions, and see all the business assets. Customer Service Abilities: Many of today’s desks allow users to submit tickets when they have an issue. There are often FAQs, allowing users to potentially find an answer to a frequently asked question. Automation: This allows help desks to ensure regular tasks are always done and gives the staff members more time for more challenging things. Dashboards: These allow you to view both current and past data so you can become more effective and productive. What the Desk Can Do for You If you use any type of technology in your organization, you’ll need a central location to assist your employees with that. Of course, the kind of technology you use will determine the extent of the support you need to offer. However, there are a few things it can do for you. For instance, you’ll save money since the IT budget can go toward the areas that most require the funds.  When there is downtime, your help desk can let you get things running smoothly as soon as possible, so you don’t waste valuable company time with decreased production. The right solution can collect data on the processes and technology of the organization. In the future, it will be possible to identify potential issues and provide an early warning to help prevent malfunctions and glitches in the future. These tools are also helpful when it comes to assigning tasks, changing processes, and sending notifications automatically. That way, your company’s IT users will understand what they need to do and when. At the same time, these tools also offer a way to manage incidents effectively.

A Quick Introduction to Forex and Forex Brokers
Thursday 4 March 2021, 09:18AM
Foreign exchange reading has always been popular, and with the advent of automated trading bots, it has become a much more widely accepted activity. This article will give you an overview of what forex trading is, how it happens, and the state of Liteforex in Thailand. What Is Forex? Forex is a combination of the words Foreign Exchange. It is the process of changing or converting one currency into another for the purposes of trade, finance, or tourism. For the purposes of this article, we will take Forex to refer to the process of trading. What Happens in a Forex Market? A foreign exchange market is simply where currencies are traded against each other. It is a very important and interesting process, and the world as we know it would come to a standstill. Why? Suppose you live in Thailand and want to buy a Japanese manga, an Indian spice, or a French wine. You need to pay for the goods in either Yen, Rupees, or Euros for any of those transactions. If you have that particular currency, well and good. However, the chances of you having the currency you want to buy things in is very low. In this situation, you will have to exchange your currency for a foreign one. Either you will do it yourself, or the importer will have to do it for you.  Either way, every time you buy something from another country, you are taking part in a Forex trade. The interesting thing about Forex markets is that there is no centralized place you go to for foreign exchange. Instead, most of the trades happen online through over-the-counter electronic transactions. These transactions are handled around the clock for five and a half days of the week and across several centers of financial importance, such as New York, London, Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. Why so many many? This is to make sure that a market is open in most time zones across the day. If you want to trade for Australian dollars or Yen, you need to trade during the hours when that center is open. Similarly, when that center closes, the American one opens up for business. You, as the trader, need to work during the hours when the traders of the currency you want are active. Risks Related to Forex Trading Like everything else happening on the internet and related to money, there are many risks involved with Forex trading. Because it is so decentralized, there are no standard rates. The market is very volatile, and rates can change as many as twenty times in an hour. In fact, depending on which part of the world you are trading from, you may find that the market is completely free of regulation of any kind. There are many guides for beginners that detail the various risks involved and how to get around them, and if you are among those people who are just getting your feet wet in the field, looking up ways to protect yourself is probably the best thing you can do.  Pros and Cons of Trading Forex Forex trading is not easy. There are many things that make it profitable, and there are also many other things that can become problematic. In this section, we will present some of the most significant pros and cons related to Forex trading.   Pros Cons The Forex market is the largest when it comes to the number of people partaking in daily trades, as well as the number of trades actually taking place. This makes it very liquid and allows for easy entry and exit for people making trades and exchanges. Forex traders use a high ratio of leverage, which allows them to borrow money from brokers in order to make trades. These ratios can be very high, meaning the amount of profits that are made can reach the skies. However, high leverage also means that traders can lose all their money in the case of a bad investment. Understanding the risks inherent in the system are important for this very reason. Trading is available 24 hours a day over five days of the week. It starts in Sydney and ends in New York, giving people across several far-flung time zones a huge window of opportunity to conduct their trades and make money. To trade in Forex, you as a trader need to have a strong understanding of how the market works and predict how changes in one currency will have a far-reaching, cascading impact on the rest of them. Trading is a study of interconnectedness within the market, and you need to always have your finger on the pulse and change your operations on a dime. This requires a heavy investment of time. Forex Trading in Thailand In South Asia, Thailand is among the top emerging markets. The Forex markets are very well regulated by the Bank of Thailand and the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission. They have put a structure in place that is both robust and accessible, and this makes for a breeding ground of activity. Due to the structures and regulations in progress, only registered dealers are allowed to trade in Forex. Due to this, you can be sure that only reliable brokers are handling trades. What is more, since there is a growing trend in the country to trade in Forex, there is a lot of support available for beginners who are just starting out in the industry. Conclusion Forex trading is a rewarding process, but it is also a risky business. There is a certain level of thrill associated with trading. At the same time, navigating the volatility and risks surrounding you is undeniable. However, in the face of these challenges, make sure you are equipped with the proper knowledge and resources to adapt, improvise and overcome any situation that you face. Never forget that it is the internet, so always an exit strategy no matter what you do. Otherwise, trade safely, and good luck!
