In two weeks, I plan to volunteer a week of my summer to a program called Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week (PFEW)
An important part of any company is satisfied clients like you! In January we rolled out our Social Media Roadmap
Bruce Schorle from TS Tech was featured by Symantec, the fourth largest software manufacture, in a video talking about how TS Tech uses Symantec Antivirus Software to limit and control virus infections. While Bruce did venture to California last year on an all expenses trip courtesy of Symantec, this video was shot at TS Tech in Wyomissing. During last year’s trip to Symantec, Bruce discussed the Symantec Antivirus tool with the product development team. Needless to say, he captured Symantec's attention and in December 2011, Symantec flew a video crew in to film Bruce and Todd and one of our clients for about a day. The first video to be released from the footage was used by Symantec in February at their Rome Italy conference, and then again at a series of 23 Nationwide IT conferences held for other IT companies throughout the US during February. The original footage is still in post-production to be released focusing more on TS Tech and our client JDR Fixtures. Keep an eye on our YouTube page for more updates, and checkout the current video interviews here!

Microsoft held their first ever Build Conference in Anaheim in September. It’s a new annual event for Windows developers to gather and learn about building applications for the Windows platform. This one was special not only because it was the first, but also because leading up to it, all the buzz was about how much of Windows 8 Microsoft would show and what details we would learn about the next version of the most popular operating system in the world.

Can your IT company run on half-staff? TS TECH Can!
Written by devteamHalf the TS TECH team departs Philadelphia for Orlando Florida to attend the annual IT Nation Conference hosted by Connectwise. IT Nation provides the TS TECH team with an educational and fun, out of the office experience. The conference has grown from a two day event to include other vendor events in the days before and after like Quosal Nation, Level Platforms' The Next Level Event, and more. Throughout the event, there are speakers and breakout training sessions on products and industry best practices. TS TECH has attended the event each year since 2007. The 2011 IT Nation is attended by over 1500 IT Partners from all around the globe, and the diverse culture enables people to share meaningful information with the IT community, for the purpose of enhancing our profession.
Todd presents three tips on how to improve your technology proposals at the First Quosal Nation Event during the IT Nation 2011 pre-event program
First: Sign up for and use online credit card processing with order porter. It is extremely easy to setup, people love to shop and pay online, people want to earn Amex points and it simplifies your collections process.
Second: Have your Quotes & Order Porter tie into your website. Link the quote back with different pages on your website to provide supplemental information. We do this with or satisfaction guarantee and information about our services.
Third: Review Large project quotes in person. Quosal is a great tool for organizing your proposal, but there is no substitution for face time with your prospective client. By sitting down in person and reviewing a proposal you are able to address any concerns and questions that might arise from the content of the proposal.

The top report used by TS TECH is our daily backup success audit report. Many IT companies audit for backup failures only, we audit for backup success.

Our backup success audit report is delivered to our engineers and key managers each morning, enabling us to quickly digest backup data on over 75 servers and audit the operation in less time then it takes you to eat a breakfast bar.

Have you ever had a project "go sideways" on you? When it happens to you, it feels like you are treading water. You're working hard, but going nowhere. After building a beautiful coordinated project plan in Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel, your dates start slipping. You can see that too much time is being wasted on unnecessary communications, but how do you take back control? Typically, the problem isn't in the upfront planning, it's in the ongoing communication and collaboration.
