Survey About AXICOM Events
Dear AXICOM Clients, Colleagues and Friends,

November is the month to celebrate Thanksgiving and to give thanks.  We at AXICOM want to thank you, our clients, colleagues and associates for all your business and your support this past year.   We are dedicated to our clients' and colleagues' success by providing the technology tools to make that success possible. 

To follow up with last month's article on the cloud wars in case you didn't hear, the City of Los Angeles decided to go with Google for their email (Gmail) and document applications (Google Docs).  Read more about the decision on Jake Nonnemaker's blog.

We will be hosting a Microsoft Windows 7 seminar on November 12 at 2 pm.  If you attend, then you'll be eligible to win a copy of Office 2007 Standard Edition!  Retail value is $399!  Register here to attend or send us an email.

Here's to a happy day with your technology!

The AXICOM Team



AxiGuard

The majority of our clients have adopted some level of AxiGuard for their PCs and networks.  Why?  Because AxiGuard takes all the work out of maintenance so that they can focus on their business!

No more wondering if security patches were updated, anti-virus is expired, anti-spyware is expired, temp files are cluttering your folders, previous website searches are hanging around and what that odd clicking sound is coming from somewhere inside your case.

And, the price is right!   Not only does it monitor and maintain your PC 24x7 but it also sends the technicians at AXICOM alerts if your PC is having hardware issues (such as the weird clicking sound, often a harbinger of hard drive death) for a low monthly fee.  A year of the standard Silver AxiGuard plan for a PC usually costs less than a two-hour service call.

But wait, don't forget to add in the cost of your time! You don't have to spend any time going to the store, purchasing the right products or spending time at your PC figuring out how to install software when you could be a) making sales calls, b) meeting with clients, or c) running your business or performing your job duties!

Last but not least, clients receive monthly AxiGuard reports about their PC and network monitoring and maintenance issues.

Naturally, we're big fans of AxiGuard around here but don't take our word for it!  Here are some comments from our clients:

"As a company with 37 computers and 5 servers, our business fails to function if our computers or servers go down.  And like a good insurance policy, AXICOM'S AxiGuard service provides that level of confidence knowing our systems are monitored 24/7/365, and our data is protected."   ----  Northridge Insurance Agency

"AXICOM provides us with efficient quality service with a depth of expertise that allows us to concentrate of our core business of Tenant Representation with the peace of mind our computers systems are in place and constantly being monitored by AxiGuard to avoid any down time."   - Sheryl Mazirow, President,  Mazirow Commercial Inc.

So, if you haven't yet added AxiGuard to your arsenal, call or email us today or visit our website for more information!  (818) 865-9865

November Events - In Detail

The Wonders of Windows 7

AXICOM will be hosting a seminar on Windows 7 on November 12 from 2-3:30 pm in the AXICOM Training Center presented by Bruce McCandless, AXICOM Project Manager.   And, if you've met Bruce, then you'll enjoy his down-to-earth explanations and sense of humor.  Come learn about the great new features of Windows 7!

Our technicians have been testing it for the last few months and initial reaction from them is very positive.  They've been having fun with it so that's a great endorsement for the product.  Of course, the first few months of deployment usually have "bugs" that need to be fixed so we're suggesting that you come to our seminar first and we'll have an update on initial reactions from consumers.

FREE COPY OF OFFICE 2007 TO ONE ATTENDEE!

And, we'll be giving away one copy of Office 2007 Standard Edition  which includes Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and Outlook 2007 to one attendee!   (Retail value, $399!) 

Register hereRegistration is required as seating is limited to 16 attendees. 


Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is the new buzz word in technology but what does it mean?  Come to the seminar on November 17 from 8 to 9 am and learn how you can integrate cloud computing into your current network solutions or deploy new hardware and software solutions via the cloud.  Both Google and Microsoft offer online office solutions (Google Docs and Microsoft Office Live), for example, which are cloud solutions.  You can also put your server in the cloud.  Cost savings and mobility are two of the attractions of cloud computing but is it right for your business?  This seminar will help you decide.

All seminars and workshops are held at AXICOM at 31352 Via Colinas #104, Westlake Village, CA  91362.  Go to the AXICOM website and the Find Us tab for detailed instructions.  (We suggest you take a look if you've never been to our office before!)

Register here.  Registration is required as seating is limited to 16 attendees
