Small Business Communication Technology

In today's fast-paced marketplace, every business needs to communicate effectively through a number of technologies: Phone (office and cellular, and soon voice over IP) trusty fax, e-mail, print, computer screen presentations, web sites, e-commerce, etc...

CMAG is immersed in these technologies and has made it our business to find the "best-of-breed" solutions for our own needs and to help serve the needs of our clients. The point at which the cost, quality and features of a technology reach the best value for small business is what we strive to stay up-to-date on and can make available to your business as a part of our overall service package.

Of course, our philosophy about constantly changing technology leans strongly toward staying about one stage behind the leading edge. This is where you will find the best combination of value elements: proven hardware, maximum price reduction prior to a drop in support and the knowledge that your new technology has survived the trends to become a standardized tool.

Our mantra for server and custom software technology is: Open Source and Open Standards - wherever possible. This guideline keeps us searching for the best Open Source software to leverage in our hosting and small business intranet, content management and e-commerce solutions. The Open Source label means no up-front licence fees - saving your business many thousands of dollars over proprietary software systems. The open standard significance is HUGE. Creating files in systems that save them in formats that are independent of the software system means you have the flexibility and freedom to evolve your company's data over the years through new technologies. Look for this type of philosophy in any custom provider of computer technology.

So, rather than learn all of this stuff - only to have it all change in 18 months - talk to us at CMAG. We're on top of it.
