Getting started with medical cannabis Continued from page 1 c) Association websites – many as-
sociations across the country have de- voted sections on their website to medical cannabis. For instance, the Canadian Arthritis Society has an extensive section on how people aff licted with arthritis are using medical cannabis to treat their symptoms. The Epilepsy Foundation offers similar resources online as well. Simply Google the terms “medical can- nabis” + the name of the association to find what you’re looking for. d) Industry websites – the #1 industry
resource site is called Leafly (www.leafly. ca). Here you’ll find lots of great articles and videos on a variety of cannabis top- ics. You can also search their extensive strain directory for information about the effects 2) Talk to Your Doctor - Tis can be something that people typically try to

How corporate IT can sabotage business profits H
Roman Zilber
ere’s a question for you. If you are a business owner, CEO, or senior executive whose main concern is a higher profit and lower expenses, what would
you expect from your IT person or department? In most cases, ONE OF the expectations are to care about reduc- ing expenses for the company. Te reality is that often IT managers sabotage new business ideas capable of reducing expenses and improving cash flow perhaps due to their fear of exposure. A logical answer would be for the owners and IT depart-
ments to embrace the same goals and objectives. However, very often as a telecom consultant, I’ve noticed this isn’t always the case. Some IT operatives tend to get defensive and protect their fields when presented with an offer of a free, no obligation review of the telecom expenses, includ- ing solutions to reduce costs.
A brilliant initiative like this, which normally sparks
an eye of any owner of a business I talk to, very often goes nowhere after it is passed from the high-level to the IT. What could the reason be for this? Is it a potential fear
of uncovering flaws in their work? Ignorance? Behind the scenes agreements with providers or suppliers? If I was an owner of a company or a senior executive, this is what I may be thinking. CostWise offers a no obligation, free review of the tel-
ecom expenditures and ways to reduce the costs. Tis is done with the provider, so there is no going back in your files and pulling your bills out. Te review includes uncovering and recovering billing errors, negotiations beyond call centre levels on the rates, checking legitimacy and effectiveness of the contracts and much more. Te IT department is normally in charge of the telecom aspect of business functionality, however, it is a completely separate sphere, often considered by the management as an exten- sion of an IT. Te reality is that this niche of technology is a completely
separate beast. It does reside near IT and is often related or connected with it, but it’s not IT. Te problem is that it’s too narrow with a very limited amount of professionals working in it outside of technological giants like BellMTS or Shaw, yet telecom expenditures are much higher than IT expenditures in most businesses. IT guys are usually very busy, and most won’t tolerate waiting on hold for hours to get something resolved with a call centre. Te savings that can be made within the telecom ser-
vices are tremendous. CostWise has secured savings and credits of over one-million dollars, often over $100,000 per client over a five year period. All this comes at no cost to the CLIENT, there is only sharing of the money saved and recovered. Te telecom industry is notorious for high-usage and
high prices, in addition to overcharging its clients. Tere is a way to reduce expenses as well as recover overpayment due to billing errors. Call CostWise to find out more: 204-615-2045 or visit:
