Thirty years in the Tech industry as a privately-held, profitable company is definitely something to be proud of and worth reflecting on.

Which brings us to the present, and thus the future. We've got some great new projects in the works, and are always looking to improve our services at every level. This blog, and some of the other social web presences we're developing, is part of an effort to provide our customers and partners with up-to-date and relevant information. You can expect to find posts on this blog ranging from product tutorials and updates, tips and tricks for getting the most out of your services, related industry news and analysis, and anything else we might think useful or interesting. We've gained a lot of experience over the past 30 years and we hope that by sharing some of that experience with everyone, we can also continue to grow ourselves.
