Introducing our new weekly feature, the “Employee Spotlight.” Every week we’ll pull the covers back and reveal a few interesting tidbits about an RJS employee. For our inaugural edition we’ve selected Marsha Dahl, our HR/Finance Coordinator.

Name: Marsha Dahl

Title: HR/Finance Coordinator

Fun Facts:

• Once partied with the “Six Million Dollar Man” – Leigh Majors – in Palm Springs, California.
• Grew up in Montivideo, MN (Population: 5,331) and attended a country school with one teacher who taught six grades.
• Once had Power of Attorney rights for a multi-millionaire and never embezzled any money.
• Worked at a job where traveling on a Learjet was a monthly requirement.
• Had six years of Inner Healing Prayer training and has counseled many people through life crises.
• Played second base for eight years on a softball team called the “The Slammers.” The team name referred not to their powerful hitting but their pre-game ritual of downing “tequila slammers” behind the bleachers before every game.

(Marsha and Leigh Majors share a laugh in Palm Springs, circa 1986.)

RJS recently announced an alliance with Global Velocity, a leading provider of network cyber security solutions, to fully integrate data loss prevention (DLP) technology into WebDocs. This integration, using Global Velocity’s “rapidDLP” solution, gives WebDocs a real competitive advantage in a crowded marketplace, and a level of DLP protection that is second to none.

WebDocs already provides fairly robust security features, but even the most secure application can be breached by user error, accident or someone maliciously trying to steal or expose documents with sensitive data. The rapidDLP integration will allow WebDocs administrators to create a “virtual vault” with easy-to-configure policies and settings that will detect and stop content from being moved to unauthorized areas within and outside the enterprise.

“This added layer of security is a key feature that customers have been looking for,” said RJS General Manager Mike Bergstrom. “Giving users the ability to stop malicious or accidental data leakage not only protects their most valuable digital assets, it also assists them in maintaining their compliance, audit and security obligations.”

The solution has been designed to work seamlessly with either the Windows or iSeries versions of WebDocs and can be incorporated into current or future implementations.

While researching possible group outings for the upcoming RJS User Group Conference in September, I ran across an article from Forbes.com with an out-of-the-box idea.

Just a short drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul is Drive A Tank. And, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

According to the article, Drive A Tank is the only place in the entire U.S. where regular folks (like you and me) can drive a military-grade tank around. Just for fun.

Not quite your style?

What about heavy machinery?

At Extreme Sandbox, also located conveniently close to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, you and your guests can play with a skid steer, a bulldozer or an excavator. Brings you back to your childhood moving dirt around in your local playground, right?

Now, I’m not making any promises regarding the RJS User Group activity. But, if you’re planning your company’s next outing, I won’t be upset if you steal one of these two great ideas.

After a bit of a hiatus, Friday Fun Links are back. To celebrate, we thought we’d share a link to a recent Businessinsider.com article about the differences in American language across regions of the country.

For example, if you’re from Wisconsin, where I’m from, you refer to miniature lobster-like crustaceans found in streams and lakes as a “crayfish.” However, if you’re from Missouri, you’re more likely to call them “crawdads” or, if you’re from the south, you might call them “crawfish.”

Golf Anyone?

RJS recently held it’s own mini-golf tournament, and while it was creative and fun, it was nothing like what the Walker Art Center is putting on this summer in Minneapolis. The Walker, one of the premier modern art museums in the country, has transformed its famous sculpture garden into a mini-golf course with the kind of artistic flair one might expect.

Say What?

Dr. Who, the venerable BBC TV series that’s been on for decades, is well known for attracting its fair share of geeky fanatics. However, this is possibly the nerdiest thing I’ve ever heard of.  To celebrate the show’s 5oth anniversary, an enterprising group of fans created a Kickstarter campaign to raise $33,000 to build and launch a ”TARDIS,” into space. For those who don’t know, the TARDIS is the time machine spacecraft Dr. Who uses in the show. Apparently, a 1-foot prototype has been built to look exactly like the police box used in the series.
