Half a year flys by, especially when we're having so much fun and staying so busy.  Our first six months of Sawyers & Jacobs LLC has exceeded our expectations thanks to you, our wonderful clients, friends, and business partners. 

 

Our engagements have taken us to Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi and back to Tennessee, helping our clients with issues such as Technology Planning, Server Virtualization, Risk Assessments, IT Audits, Network Vulnerability Assessments, Network Support, and System Selection engagements. 

 

September speaking engagements in Boston and Nashville, and our 4th Annual Bank Tech Summit in October gave us the opportunity to make new friends and re-connect with old friends. 

 

2009 is ending with a bang and we are now scheduling engagements for 2010 and beyond.  Our experienced team is ready to serve.

 

If we don't see you during one of our engagements, we hope to see you at some of our upcoming speaking engagements and events.  Check out the column on the right to view our speaking schedule for the remainder of 2009 through July 2010.  

 

In addition to publishing our speaking schedule, in this issue we recap Bank Tech Summit 2009, welcome new team member, David Joyner, and congratulate our friends Mark Cary and Chris Kelley for their recent accomplishments.

 

Thank you for taking time to read our updates and stay connected with our firm.

 

The evaluations are in and clearly Bank Tech Summit 2009 was our best yet.  Bankers and industry providers from 10 states enjoyed good food, cool prizes, interesting presentations, and great networking.
