Third Quarter

The13% increase in profit this quarter was largely due to the continued hard work and dedication of you, the employees! In any market this is a great accomplishment, in this market it was next to impossible!  As we near year end this sets us up very well for raise and bonus season!
Several specific factors account for this rise in profit. A shout goes out to the marketing department for their work this past year to build the company’s brand. Their groundwork enabled each and every one of us to show increased value to our customers this quarter. The professional services team has streamlined their processes to deliver high quality projects under budget and on time, adding to the bottom line. The Datacenter team continues to do their part, consistently delivering 99.9999% uptime.
There is a specific component of the business that we will leverage in the next quarter to continue this upward trend. The solution development team has struggled to find and grow new opportunities. The sales and marketing team will shift focus toward up-selling the solution development products. Let’s continue the hard work and finish the year even stronger!

Dry Socks


Dry socks. Yet I’m tired, wet and cold; the jungle unforgiving. The platoon moves day and night, my pack and rifle keep pace. We march on. Life passes like so many villages. Not happy at home, back to the jungle. Crack!! Smashing pain and a crimson river. Dry box.
