Welcome

On October 22, 2009, the newest version of Microsoft Windows, Windows 7, hits shelves. At Amnet, we’re already using Windows 7, and quite frankly, we love it. “It’s everything that Vista should’ve been,” said Trevor Dierdorff, President and CEO of Amnet. “We like what we see, I encourage everyone to adopt Windows 7, and we’re ready to support it.”

Exciting new Windows 7 features include:

  • Desktop: Featuring improved taskbar previews, bigger icons, pinning, and creative ways to personalize.
  • HomeGroup: Sharing files and printers is easier.
  • Jump Lists: Accessing your favorite pictures, songs, websites, and documents is faster.
  • Snap: Resizing and comparing windows on your desktop is fun.
  • Windows Search: Searching your PC is as simple as searching the web.

Join Amnet in the countdown until Oct. 22, and upgrade to Windows 7. Let’s all make the jump to a faster, easier, more efficient Windows operating system!

20% Off SharePoint Set-up Services

SharePoint, the fastest growing product in Microsoft’s history, is an information portal that can be configured to run intranet and extranet sites, allowing small and medium sized businesses to collaborate and connect on projects, teams, and daily work tasks.

How do you know if your business can benefit from SharePoint? Do you spend excessive time looking for files? Do you struggle finding older versions of documents? Does your small business experience valuable productivity losses when employees are not present?

Imagine having a collaborative tool at your fingertips to coordinate company announcements, events, discussion boards, blogs, document libraries, alerts, and internal and external sites. With your Microsoft Small Business Server, you already possess this technology! Let Amnet teach you how to better use the technology already at your fingertips; we want to configure your SharePoint starter site and lead your business into a new era of productivity.

Implementing SharePoint increases productivity, collaboration, and synergy in the workplace. The easy-to-use information portal ties all company computer-driven work pieces into one centralized location, empowering workers with the most timely, relevant data at all times.

 Additional SharePoint benefits include:

  • Providing an easier means of storing, accessing, and finding information.
  • Automating processes.
  • Eliminating time spent searching for files.
  • Eliminating duplication of effort.
  • Connecting and collaborating with co-workers, regardless of physical location.
  • Instantaneously sharing business intelligence.

Commercial jets cruise at about 600 miles per hour, which is the equivalent of ten miles per minute, or three-and-a-third city blocks per second.

At that speed, the pilot does not look back. And at the speed at which the world is changing, you shouldn’t look back either. Like a jet pilot, you need to concentrate on what’s up ahead.
