We Know What You REALLY Want!

Since we’ve gone through January’s customer survey results, that is.
While most of our customers love the fact that we have live, friendly people answering the phone, many clients still don’t know just how many services we offer. Below are a few of the most popular services you requested in the survey that we already provide to our customers.
Anti-Spam Service For Your Email
Did you know we offer a free 30-day trial of our enterprise-class Ironport Anti-Spam service? There’s nothing to change on your end — all the filtering takes place before it even gets to your Inbox. If during that 30-day period you decide it’s not for you, just tell us to turn it off and you owe nothing. We are continually told that the Ironport antispam service is the best thing to happen to email since the inbox! Sign up for your free trial here.
Search Engine Optimization For Your Website
Most of our new customers — and many of our existing customers — want to know how to get listed or improve their placement on the most popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo. We have partnered with our good friends at Volacci to help all our clients needing this type of service. If you would like a free consultation with Volacci on how to make your website more visible on the web, let us know!

Kick the Tires on Live Oak Mail
February 10, 2009 by tracy · Comments Off
If you are curious about our Live Oak Mail, we have a no-obligation way of taking it for a drive. Live Oak Mail has two premium email services options for your organization:
SkyBox. The webmail interface offers shared calendars, contacts, and tasks. And you can still check your email using your favorite email software. You can also use WinMobile and BlackBerry syncing to keep up with your mail.
Hosted Exchange. This option allows you the same functions as the SkyBox webmail, with the additional benefit that it completely integrates with your Microsoft Outlook or Entourage. Don’t have Outlook or Entourage? Don’t worry — your Hosted Exchange comes with a free copy that you can download and install for your personal use. You can even use ActiveSync, BlackBerry, Good Network to sync with your mobile device.
Test them out by sending an email to support requesting a temporary username and password.
You can poke around in either of these for up to 24 hours. If you have any questions or would like to move to the Live Oak Mail solution, email us. We would love to hear what you have to say about it!
Can a Blog Help Your Business?
December 8, 2008 by tracy · Comments Off
Have you considered adding a blog to your current site but aren’t sure what it’s all about or what it can do for your site?
Blogging can be a wonderful way of driving traffic to your website on a regular basis and can help contribute to your overall marketing strategy in the long run. Blogging should not, in and of itself, be considered your sole form of marketing. But, when used in conjunction with your overall marketing plan, it can help draw more customers and keep the customers you have.
Blogging software has become so easy to use, that hiring a web developer to make quick content additions to them is not necessary. They offer a way to conveniently add timely and relevant content to your site, keeping it up-to-date. Blogs can also be used to easily distribute information to your employees.
Still not sure? A quick search of the internet on “blogging strategy” will return no end of information. Here are some links to sites that might help you decide if a blog is right for you:
- Blogging Strategy 101 (my favorite for beginners)
- Blog Strategy - Needed For Maximum Blog Success
Have you already decided you want a blog on your site? There are many different blogging packages you can use — some with quick installation. We recommend WordPress because it’s free and installation is fairly easy.
There are also free blogging sites that you can use as well, such as blogger.com, wordpress.com, and typepad.com.
