I'm Keith Carrizosa, owner of Azure Horizons, The IT Department for Small and Medium sized businesses. Most small businesses can't afford a full time IT department and most medium sized businesses have cut staff to conserve capital. We fit that need for a full time IT department at a part time cost.
We can monitor and maintain your computers and servers, setup new computers and when trouble does strike we will be there to fix your computers, repair your network, get your e-mail working again or protect your computers from the evils of the Internet by blocking spyware and preventing viruses from striking before they get a chance.
As a Microsoft Partner, we can also help you finance your computers and peripherals. Why not make monthly payments instead of you paying out one lump sum for your computer/software needs?
Contact me now for a free network assessment (a $250 value) at techsupport@azure-horizons.com. |

| |  Greetings!
It looks like the current Bush era tax cuts for the weathly will not be extended. This will translate into higher taxes for those who make $250,000 per year which presumably included many small to mid-size business owners. In the current state of affairs I'm not sure how many business owners in these categories are making that kind of money. Most members we hear from are investing what ever profits are left back in the business in an effort to weather the recession. We need to stay focus on supporting the growth and sustainability of small businesses, after all, we are going to create two thirds of all future jobs in America. Higher taxes may be a bitter pill we all must take to get the recovery going. The Nueva Latina Star Award Presented by Verizon and MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneurship Series are opporutnities for you and your business to be recongized so take advantage. Saludos, |
