Reminder: COVID-19 and Vaccination Module

is available on 24-7

This module is meant to bring awareness to staff about the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccination. It covers the impact of the pandemic, the benefits of receiving the vaccine, information on vaccine safety and effectiveness and how they work, risks of allergic reactions, and the risks of not getting vaccinated. This module also meets the Ontario Government’s Directive for staff training for those who choose not to get vaccinated in high risk settings.

Adventure is Out There

I love to go on adventures. Whether it is a new hiking spot in my neighbourhood, or a backpacking trek in another part of the world,

I am constantly looking forward to new experiences.

The Value of the Commute to Work

Over the course of the last six months, we’ve come to know our neighbours very well. We both have young families and have been adjusting to the new normal of COVID-19. We are also adjusting to working from home and attempting to keep our children occupied.

Technology Understanding

If you have been following our monthly Systems 24-7 Technology Newsletters, you will recall we recently migrated our production servers hosting your Systems 24-7 application from local-hosted to Microsoft Azure Cloud Hosting. This was a large step forward in providing you with more resources like faster speeds, better hardware, application insights, additional security, and greater expandability options.

Along with these improvements comes with Microsoft’s hosting service level agreement of 99.5% up time of services per week. This potential 0.05% down time a week is to cover hardware and software upgrades including security patches and overall technology maintenance. Although Microsoft and Dunk & Associates do our best to ensure there is as little to no interruptions to your service as possible, we do still account for unexpected scenarios when working with technology and cyber security.

We at Dunk & Associates want to ensure we always keep transparent with our clients on your Technology platform. To ensure we are transparent, below is our updated descriptions of Security, Backup, and continuity planning to keep you informed.
