Denver Divorce Mediators Update Technology
to Continue Innovation of the Family and Divorce Mediation
Process
Colorado Center for Divorce Mediation™’s Substantial Office Technology Updates in 2007!

“When you’re through
changing . . . you’re through!”

Consistent with our commitment to remain Denver and
Colorado’s premier divorce mediators and to better serve our clients, we continue to innovate and evolve our
tools and mediation process.
Dedicated Server
Established
In 2007, we replaced our conventional peer-to-peer network
with a dedicated and powerful Intel Quad-Core Xeon® processor based server
running Microsoft Small Business Server®.  
This new network structure enhances
our system reliability, office security,
and data backup’s integrity. It also
allows our staff’s twenty-four hour on-line access to essential data, by means
of an encrypted VPN, or virtual private network. All Staff
Computer Workstations Replaced, With Client‐Side Docking
and Multi-Monitor Support
 Additionally, all
office workstation computers were replaced with the latest
hardware.
Our mediators now use Dell’s most powerful mobile workstations, Dell’s Precision™ laptops.
These
dock at both the client mediation tables (connecting to 37"
large screen LCD displays for collaborative real-time work with clients, using our
specialized tools) and mediator desks.
 To
enhance our efficiency when drafting or
managing non-client- present tasks, our
mediators’ desks (with expansion station
docks) and our client services
coordinator Judy’s desktop (also a Dell
Precision™) now
use newly-acquired-in-2007 dual, side-by-side, monitor displays.
Migration to Latest Vista® Ultimate Operating System & Microsoft
Office 2007 (Application Suite)
Finally,
in 2007, Colorado Center for Divorce Mediation™ also acquired and now
uses the
latest and most powerful and full-featured version of
Microsoft’s operating system (Windows Vista® Ultimate) and office application suite (Microsoft Office® 2007 ).
We
continue to adapt our custom software tools styled in these
applications, to the practical needs of
clients working with us in mediation of their divorce.
Planned Future Innovation
As we have from the inception of our
business, we continue at Divorce Resolutions® to seek out other fresh approaches
and innovative practices — in our mission, as professional mediators, of easing the challenges of divorce and
separation. (Our leadership in this regard has been the
subject of national acclaim. See, for example, the respected blog,
MediatorTech!’s articles
Technology in the Mediation Room: Innovation from
Colorado Divorce Mediators, and
Denver
Divorce Mediators Update Technology to Innovate Divorce Mediation Process.)
 In
2008, we plan continued evolution of our custom tools in
this regard, including expansion of the scope of our client
education through Powerpoint® presentations. (These
address key issues in the Colorado divorce court process and
our work as Colorado and Denver divorce mediators.)
(See also our website’s article on Colorado Divorce
Mediators’ Innovation With Technology for
details of our groundbreaking acquisition in 2006 of large
LCD television displays.) To learn more about

collective and individual professional mediator backgrounds, and to find out if
