FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK 

Make It Rain.

April showers bring May flowers.  Wouldn't it be nice if business were that easy?  Think about it; a little downpour and your ROI becomes as beautiful as the colorful tulips at the entrance of your building. If that were the case I'd be working on my rain dance instead of my golf swing.  But as everything else in life, it's not that easy, and we find ourselves searching for ways to be more operational, more efficient, more cost-effective and so on, but we want to do so, knowing that our return is worth the investment. 

When it comes to ROI and technology, what people don't realize is that sometimes it's more or less about being more informed.

Take Virtualization for example.  Virtualization has been an industry buzzword for a little while now but as cliché as it is, actions speak louder than words.  What I'm suggesting is that virtualization is finally doing more than turn some heads- its transforming businesses.  Companies are starting to understand its capabilities, its cost-savings and they're beginning to transition their environment(s).  Which means if you're not currently looking into this capability, your competitors are step in front you, AND about 70% of your typical IT budget is being spent maintaining your existing infrastructure with little left for innovation, or your FUTURE.

It's time we stop believing that the old "one server, one application" model is sufficient enough to get the job done.  Now we have the capabilities thanks to leading Vendors VMware, HP and others to run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine and the additional possibilities are limitless - really.

In other words, an automated datacenter built on the production-proven VMware virtualization platform with HP hardware lets you respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before.

We're currently rolling out at a Whiteboard, No More revolution, dedicated to show anyone in question, that this solution is truly one to consider - no matter your environment.  I'd encourage you to contact our team today to discuss your opportunity.  We're so confident you'll be pleasantly surprised at the possibilities, that we're customizing whiteboards for the offices of anyone interested in exploring this solution a little more. 

With that, it's off to the links. April definitely did our tulips justice - my golf swing on the other hand, not so much.

Oh, and one last thing - we have some very exclusive and beneficial events on the horizon that may be of interest.  Check 'em out! 

Cheers,

Mike Brogan, President 

 

FEATURED SPOTLIGHT - MidAmerican Aerospace

"This level of service and dedication is the reason we stay with Erb's as it has been my experience that others would have relinquished the job to the NOC and gone home at 5:00 or left it until the following day."
