Lascon Storage was founded in 2000 and provides hints and tips on how to manage your data, strategic advice, news items and a discussion forum. A lot of this advice is about smarter, cheaper ways of working without compromising service. That is more important than ever in these recessive times.
The Lasconet forum was established in August 2008 as an experiment, and with over 250 members now, it can safely be called a success. Work is now underway to properly integrate it with the rest of the site.
