The global market for cloud computing is expected to reach $1,738.44 billion by 2030, reflecting the pandemic’s acceleration of the shift to digital business models. With the newly launched guide, US business owners can adopt cloud-based technologies to increase flexibility, achieve business agility, and boost security.

The updated guide provides information on the various ways cloud computing can help businesses improve operations, increase savings, and maximize resources.

In the guide, ITS explains different cloud deployment models, including public, private, community, hybrid, and others. It highlights the distinctions between each model, allowing business owners to decide on the most suitable option for their company depending on its needs.

Alongside its traditional braces, the practice now offers clear aligners–a recent innovation in orthodontic dentistry that makes it possible for individuals of all ages to receive braces. These aligners, including Invisalign, are made from clear plastic materials that are almost invisible, making them a suitable alternative for adults who want to correct their misaligned teeth discreetly.

More details are available at https://www.liuorthodontics.us

“Today, one in four patients in orthodontic treatment is an adult,” says Dr. Sean Liu, the principal orthodontist at the practice. “With advances in orthodontics, many of the treatment options are inconspicuous and flexible enough to fit any lifestyle.”

Individuals with misalignment and bite issues can now straighten their teeth without metal braces. Using a set of custom-made clear aligners, Dr. Liu can treat a range of orthodontic issues, such as crooked gaps and crowded teeth, as well as bite problems like crossbite, overbite, and underbite.

The aligners offered by the orthodontist are made to fit firmly over the patient’s teeth, unlike traditional braces that require brackets and wires to stay in place. The dental appliance applies gentle, persistent force that adjusts the teeth following a pre-determined treatment plan.

While Invisalign offers greater flexibility than metal braces since they can be removed easily, Dr. Liu recommends patients wear the clear aligner for at least 22 hours each day, unless eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Each set can be worn for two to three weeks and then switched out for new ones until the treatment is complete.

Though the practice has recorded many successes using clear aligners, the dentist explained that the treatment may not be for everyone. As such, during the initial consultation, the dentist will examine the patient’s gums and teeth to determine if they are a suitable candidate or whether an alternative treatment, like a hybrid approach, may be needed for the best outcome.

A satisfied patient said, “My family is grateful to the professionals in this clinic. Doctor Liu did an outstanding job with my young son’s teeth, who had a serious issue. Now he has a pleasant smile and a proper bite. We would recommend this place to our friends.”

Ahead of the launch of its new Custom Permanent Bond Bracelet, The Watchmaker’s Daughter is making public Four as yet unreleased facts about Forever Bracelets set to go live February 2023, which fans and consumers within the Custom Artistic Jewelry space will find interesting…

The four items include nuggets such as how:

The idea for creating Forever Bracelets came about after many customers asked for something new and unique to commemorate a relationship with someone special. Mothers and daughters were looking for a way to celebrate their bond. Best friends wanted to celebrate their lifelong friendship. Spouses and couples wanted to symbolize their forever relationship. The art-inspired jewelers looked at bracelets and used custom-curated charms and links to bond the bracelets permanently, creating a forever bracelet that is unique, personal to the wearers, and timeless.

The jeweler looked into different materials, charms, links, and bonds and had a team of 3 artisan jewelers working on it, which is considered large by industry standards. This goes to show a group of jewelers with a passion for art can bring something completely new, fresh, and meaningful to the market.

The Custom Permanent Bond Bracelet almost didn’t see the light of day when people got the impression forever bracelets were somehow welded to the wearer and impossible to remove. The problem was overcome by educating people that a permanent bond bracelet is bound with a secure clasp charm, link, or embellishment that can be removed easily with wire snips.

The Watchmaker’s Daughter has done something different compared to other businesses in the Custom Artistic Jewelry space by hosting limited-time pop-up shops in local communities.

Forever Bracelets will be released as part of The Watchmaker’s Daughter’s greater plans to bring to life a complete line of custom-crafted and curated jewelry that can be tailored to the unique style of the wearer. It’s hoped mid-2023 will achieve this goal.

The Watchmaker’s Daughter started when Founder Karen Staub noticed a growing need for a jewelry shop that caters to the uniqueness of the individual and not a corporate franchise style offering all the same looks. With decades prior experience in the Custom Artistic Jewelry world, Karen Staub decided to go ahead and start in 1945.

Karen Staub says: “We like to do things to connect with our consumers and customers. Things like sharing custom creations on social media and releasing these little factoids ahead of the Forever Bracelets launch are what make a difference.”

Forever Bracelets’ next pop-up show is set to launch in February 2023 and is available any time at the store. To find out more, visit https://www.watchmakersdaughter.net/whatispermanentjewelry

ARIZONA – A new report from Houzz Research indicates that the vast majority of homeowners (92%) incorporate sustainable features during a kitchen renovation. 2,380 U.S. homeowners were surveyed about their recent or planned kitchen renovation projects.

The report found that nearly half of homeowners (47%) opt for a timeless design as a sustainable choice during renovations. While the most frequently cited reason for incorporating sustainable options is long-run cost-effectiveness (74%).

The reasoning appears to be because kitchens continue to command significant investment. After continuous growth over the past four years, median spend on minor remodels increased by 40% year over year to $14,000, up from $10,000 mid-2021, and up 75% compared to mid-2020 ($8,000). Median spend on major* renovations of large kitchens (250 square feet or larger) remained flat year over year at $50,000 in mid-2022.

But after cost, making environmentally friendly choices was also top of mind for 3 in 5 renovating homeowners (54%). The report suggests that consumers clearly want sustainable, premium-quality, performance-driven equipment in their homes that saves them money on initial installation and over time through low maintenance.

Butcher Block Co. has understood this for years and prioritizes American based sourcing partnerships who put sustainability and cost-effectiveness at the center of their production with products that require infrequent, trouble-free maintenance.

For instance, Catskill Craftsmen – a key supplier of Butcher Block Co. – utilizes naturally self-sustaining, non-endangered North American hardwoods, primarily birch and hard rock maple. Lumber is purchased from area sawmills, then dried, manufactured, and packaged onsite. All sawdust, shavings and waste materials generated during the manufacturing process is converted into wood pellet fuel, and used to heat homes so that nothing is wasted.

“Our approach is better for the environment, eliminates waste, strengthens the economy, and it turns out – it’s what consumers actually prefer,” said Butcher Block Co. Vice President, Matt Grodsky, “By committing to working with organizations that focus on keeping product waste down and prioritize responsible sourcing, we ensure we’re protecting the planet while serving customers,” he added.

This ecommerce news update is presented by Butcher Block Co., an online store that specializes in top-of-the-line wood countertops in butcher-block or plank style and in sixteen different species of wood. BB Co. also offers Catskill Craftsmen and John Boos portable kitchen islands, tables, kitchen carts and cutting boards.

Sales tax audit defense expertise is a specialty that can save a business hundreds of thousands – and even millions – of dollars. Clarus Partners has helped their clients manage these events, which can be extremely anxiety-provoking. Any business owner that is being audited by a state or local taxing authority can be facing information requests and tight timelines, but when there is more than one state knocking on the door at the same time, panic levels can go through the roof. This creates multiple challenges from the management standpoint as well as compliance.

“We have perfected the art of sales tax audit defense,” says Jeff Stonerock, CPA, Partner at Clarus Partners Advisors LLC (“Clarus Partners.”) “We have successfully saved our clients over $1 billion cumulatively.”

In a notable example of Clarus Partners’ work in the audit defense space, their client Legend Networking and Telecom, which provides IT services in many states, was being audited for sales and use tax purposes.

“We had hired another sales tax consultant to help us with our audit initially,” said Camille Monk, Chief Financial Officer at Legend Networking and Telecom. “The results were very lukewarm, leaving us with a six-figure liability. Our new CPA suggested we reach out to Clarus Partners. Even after following up with another service provider who ‘specialized’ in sales tax, Steve Hanebutt at Clarus Partners was able to decrease our audit by two-thirds!”

The final savings for Legend Networking and Telecom was more than $200,000.

Another client, a company in the manufacturing sector, was undergoing a sales tax audit by the State of Texas when they hired Clarus Partners to defend them. Clarus Partners worked with the firm’s customers to secure sales tax exemption certificates. In those cases, the customers – not the manufacturing firm – were responsible to pay the use tax. Clarus Partners also provided additional documentation that served as evidence of out-of-state sales that were beyond the scope of the Texas sales tax audit. In addition, Clarus Partners obtained sales tax refunds the taxpayer was unaware of that brought down both the tax assessment as well as associated interest charges. These efforts resulted in the manufacturing firm reducing their initial liability of $1.1 million to less than $100,000.

A client in the retail sector was initially assessed approximately $700,000 of sales and use tax, largely due to a lack of complete and valid exemption certificates. Once Clarus Partners was brought in, the team worked to reconcile differences in the audit schedules and to obtain the needed exemption certificates. As a result, the initial audit assessment was reduced by more than 80 percent! Additionally, now that the client clearly saw how important it is to maintain the necessary exemption certificates, Clarus Partners was able to implement SmartCert, its leading-edge exemption certificate management solution. In doing so, the client’s next audit three years later resulted in a $3,000 assessment. From $700,000 to $3,000 in three years. This clearly speaks to the expertise and solutions that Clarus Partners brought to the table.

Clarus Partners helped a manufacturing taxpayer with a sales tax audit. The initial audit schedules demonstrated a sales tax liability of more than $2 million. The audit liability was reduced to a final assessment of less than $15,000 because Clarus Partners successfully applied specific manufacturing exemptions allowed by the State of Texas. Other tax consultants without this level of expertise would probably have not been aware of expenditure exemptions involving energy consumption and industrial waste disposal. These exemptions reduced the audit assessment substantially and the taxpayer also received refunds of overpaid sales and use taxes, roughly $600,000, with Clarus Partners’ help.

Clarus Partners successfully defended a contracting client in a Kansas sales and use tax audit situation. Here, the amounts in question were much smaller than those in the above examples, but the client was also much smaller. Sales and use tax laws in Kansas related to contractors and real property improvements provide an exception that favors taxpayers in one of the tax imposition statutes. This was and is a long-time vendor relationship, so this result will provide benefits for years to come.

These examples demonstrate that sales tax audit defense starts with an integrated and robust exemption certificate management system (“ECMS”), preferably one that does not break the bank. Clarus Partners has created its own proprietary ECMS solution called SmartCert. SmartCert is becoming the industry leader in value and service.

Sales tax audit defense is a specialty. Properly managing such an audit is an art. Those being audited need to engage the right firm with the right experience and expertise. For taxpayers needing help with their own sales tax audits, a call to Clarus Partners could result in a success story like one of these.

More information can be found at https://www.swimvice.com
