From Dave Boone



 

With the Holiday Season fast approaching, it's a good time to remember and reflect. Sometimes that may be those we have not thought about for a while. It has been a tough year for many with the economic challenges we have faced as individuals and companies. We may also think of and share with those less fortunate through food banks, charity appeals and simple kindness to each other.

At MSI, theITeam, we are grateful for the continued support of our many long term Clients and those new Clients and friends we have made over the last year. Thank you from all of us. We wish you a safe and joyous holiday season and send our best wishes for the New Year!

Part of our preparation for the holidays will be moving from our current offices to a new location at Suite 200, 1210 - 8th St. SW in the "beltline" area in mid-December. We look forward to the newly renovated space.

Don't Stop fortifying against risk
Four ways to mitigate risk in a tough economy

Every business deals with risk. But medium-sized businesses, with smaller IT staff and tighter operating budgets are often more exposed to risk than larger companies.
