Sam Foti is a businessman who is a staunch follower of ethics in business. This is one of the reasons why his companies are heading towards rapid growth and success. A discussion of business executives on ethical issues was held in the American College. Availing this opportunity, Samuel Foti expressed that he does not appreciate the fact that many decisions in businesses are taken without taking into account the ethical factors. He expressed that he desires to devise a way that would ensure that ethical factors and issues are not ignored while making decisions in his organization.

 

It is due to this concern of Samuel J. Foti that MONY has been operating under ethical limits. He believes in giving customers good value and this is what all decisions in MONY are based on.

 

MONY does not engage in areas of business that could create a conflict between the business and its customers. This is because Samuel Foti believes that the business should avoid all matters that have the potential to affect it in a negative way both economically and legally.

 

 Samuel Foti strongly believes that companies should not deviate from their original purpose of providing good value insurance to their customers. Earning profits is a secondary goal.

I’m a pretty cool boss, but it bothers me that with so many employees on the road we can’t even keep our pricelists synched, let alone collaborate on sales numbers or other data.

I’ve tried high end collaboration tools, but they’re expensive to deploy and often take so much training that it’s just not viable in  our company.  That’s until I tried WebPoint VPN by Vedivi.  I took the free trial and within 30 minutes I’d downloaded and set up the VPN for remote access.

It’s frankly amazing.  I’m not sure how exactly it connects, but it does and it allows secure access to keep all the prying eyes out.  Basically you install the software on one pc in the network and it’ll discover all the other machines and servers in your network.

You log on via the WebPoint website, which then creates a secure connection between your remote PC and the Network.
Best of all, it actually uses your Windows authentication on your remote pc to connect to the network, so you can control access to data and servers!
I took the enterprise free trial and it works really well.  Try it for yourself.
