“The iPhone appears to be gaining more traction with employees of small companies, especially those with 15 to 99 employees…”

So say the experts at the Wall Street Journal in an article on the prevailance of iPhone Apps available for business.  You can check out the full article here - http://bit.ly/iPhoneapps

We are hard pressed to disagree.  Many of our clients were early adapters of the iPhone - more for the cool-gadget appeal than anything else.  We were a bit leary - they didn’t “play nice” with servers in the early days.  However, Apple (not to mention the hundreds of folks writing Apps) has done a fantastic job transforming the iPhone into a business tool.  Did you know there are even Apps that enable us to remotely control our server, manage our spam filters, and even manage the tools we use to monitor and maintain your network?

Read this post recently and thought I’d share - http://www.linkedin.com/news?viewArticle=&articleID=52370210&gid=79627&articleURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Estrategicbusinessdesigner%2Ecom%2F2009%2F07%2Fsmall-businesses-deserve-respect-and-our-support%2F&urlhash=l3nD&trk=NUS_RITM_title&goback=%2Ehom. 

 It’s true, Small and Midsize Businesses are the future of our economy.  The numbers don’t lie.  Did you know that locally we have over 7700 businesses that employ between 10 and 50 folks?  That’s according to the Virginia Employment Commission’s Census of Employment & Wages. 

SmallBizResource.com, the “Essential IT Blog for Small Businesses” sees the value in our business model: “Managed services offer too many benefits for smaller companies, especially those attempting to plan for future growth without overextending their budgets or their in-house IT resources.”  Check out Matthew McKenzie’s article discussing the strength of the Managed Services industry to weather the current economic storms.  http://www.smallbizresource.com/bmightyblog/main/archives/2009/07/business_is_boo.html?cid=nl_SBR_WEEKLY_H
