Five Reasons to Do Business with Emerge
 

Every moment is exciting around here. Really! On any given day, any of us could be dealing with a voice-over-IP (VoIP) issue, a wide area network outage, a mail server down, or a “can’t figure out how to create a column in Word 2007” issue. Either way, all of our calls are treated with the same respect and urgency. We would love to expand our company and provide this high level of service to any business that needs it – which is where you come in. I’ve put together a list of five reasons to consider or recommend Emerge IT Solutions:

1. Emerge IT Solutions – Managed by Richard Brown. Richard is a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE). His strength is as a highly skilled “problem solver” and “solutions designer” . Very rarely is he stumped by ANY issue involving switching, routing, IP telephony, or network security. You can always recommend him with confidence and expect a prompt resolution to your most difficult network problems.

2. Emerge Managed Solutions – Managed by Jesse Kegley. Jesse is the resident Messaging and Managed Services expert. He can always be found on the cutting edge of network management tools/services, virtualization, cloud computing, storage solutions, mail solutions – to include spam filtering and message archiving, and disaster recovery preparedness – to include offsite backups and instant offices. Jesse’s also created a responsive Helpdesk offering to not only support customer end users, but also assist IT Directors lessen their workload.

3. Emerge AV/Cabling – Managed by Darron Scanlon. Darron is a 22 year veteran of the Audio Visual and Infrastructure Cabling specialties. He’s an expert solutions designer and installer with a diverse skill set that allows him to pull together products and services from multiple disciplines to create unique solutions for varied customers. From conference rooms to class rooms, you can count on Darron to recommend the right solution for you.

4. The Emerge technical and sales staff – 6 senior network engineers, 7 expert AV/Cabling installers in three major cities and 3 experienced local sales reps are ready to design, recommend, install and support any solution you may need. Specialties include Citrix, SQL, Exchange, Active Directory, Wireless Networks (802.11a/b/g/n), Microsoft Small Business Server, BICSI, ICIA, OSHA, and Microsoft Licensing Experts.

5. The Emerge Internal support staff – The attentiveness of our Office Management and Dispatch departments are what enable us to provide the expert level of service you expect. While our engineers are taking care of customers, it is our internal support staff that provide the consistency and stability needed in today’s business relationships. Your call will be answered when you call, your shipping questions will get answered, and your billing issues (should you ever have any) will be quickly resolved.

If you or someone you know has a difficult, urgent or persistent network problem, would you consider recommending us? If you are looking for a new solution to an old problem, or want to know more about current and “cutting-edge” technologies, would you consider calling us? If your current IT solution is not providing you the service level you need, would you consider engaging us? We hope so. Every opportunity is considered and responded to, and every solution is guaranteed to meet your expectations. We look forward to hearing from you!

EMERGE Golf Outing Teaches Perseverance,
Camaraderie . . . and Storage Solutions!
 

Who knew that a golf outing on a windy, rainy day could provide so many parallels to doing business in a wavering economy? The day started out terrific. Presentations were made by our very own Joe Frank (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and Dell Equalogix (Storage Solutions). After a round table discussion with 26 attendees, it was time for a round of golf. Eighteen holes at Traditions Golf Club in Hebron, KY. Only, this would not be your ordinary “hang-out-with-the-guys, shoot-the-breeze and enjoy-the-sun” kind of round. No. This would be a “grab-your-umbrella and duck-boots, and forget-you’re-holding-a-lightning-rod” kind of game. Seriously though, as the day finished up, many of us realized how this day was actually a good analogy of what is going on with our businesses. In tough economic times (rainy, windy days) it’s important to work together (cheer on your teammates, ride the cart together, hold the umbrella for someone else) and persevere (finish 18 holes of golf, even though 9 would have been safer). So there it is – golf lessons for the business world!

Hope to see you next year!

Donated Polyvision Eno Interactive Whiteboard Provides Major Step Forward for Bluegrass Technology Center in
Lexington, KY.
 

The Bluegrass Technology Center exists for the purpose of training educators in the areas of special needs students throughout the state of Kentucky and beyond. Recently, Emerge IT Solutions donated a Polyvision Eno Active whiteboard to the center. Bluegrass Technology’s Director, Carol Moffet, had this to say:
“On Friday Oct. 1, 2009 three days after we had our Eno© Board install we had a training class. One of our participants was wheelchair bound. His disabilities do not allow him for a lot of participation. Our training session was on a device that is a computer controlled by eye gaze. We were using the board mainly as a screen with some interactive features. At one time he went to the board and was able to manipulate the icons on the screen to do what he wanted to do. His mother, one of associates, sat at in the audience amazed, because nothing like that had been able to happen before. Our participant was able to fully participate because of the Eno© Board and this is the first time we have been truly ACCESSIBLE. Thanks for helping us to truly reach a level we have been trying to reach for our 20 years of existence!”

Combining the Eno Whiteboard with an existing special needs individual took them to a level that was beyond what was anticipated.

What could Eno do for you?
