Afinety Earns Small Business Specialist Designation and
Offers Additional Value to Clients |
| Afinety is proud to announce that we are now a Microsoft Small Business Specialist. The Small Business Specialist program was developed in response to input from customers and partners that small-business customers need access to partners that understand the needs and requirements specific to the small-business marketplace. This program integrates with Afinety’s focus on small and medium size professional firms, companies and organizations. It gives us additional solution and pricing options to meet our client's technical and financial needs. Small Business Specialist status also provides Afinety with early line of sight to new products, services and programs from Microsoft, which can extend the value we bring to our client relationships.
To obtain Small Business Specialist designation, Afinety completed Microsoft’s Small Business Sales and Marketing Skills Assessment, designed to test the company’s knowledge of the dynamics and dependencies of the small-business market, as well as the value to small business of several software solutions, including Windows® XP Professional, Microsoft Office 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003. Our technical staff also completed certification exams that measure our ability to design and implement solutions for the small and medium-sized business by using Windows Small Business Server 2003 and the Windows Server System™.

| Wireless and Mobility Primer |
|
|
|
Whether you are thinking about adding a wireless network to your office or find that you need to support increasingly mobile employees. You may be concerned that supporting wireless and mobile technologies is daunting, expensive, and risky. The good news is that adding or expanding your wireless options can be very simple, the costs very reasonable, and the connection secure.

| What can go wrong? |
|
|
|
From hardware failures, to theft, to malicious acts, to mistakes, "What can't go wrong?" is a better question than "What can go wrong?" Any of these events or a host of others is unpredictable and people often learn the value of disaster preparedness only after they've been a victim.
Ninety-three percent of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. (Source: U.S. National Archives & Records Administration in Washington, D.C.)
