It's the fourth quarter of 2010, the time when business leaders reflect and evaluate their company's performance over the course of the year, and start planning initiatives and budgets for the year to come. As you evaluate the key components of your business such as personnel and processes, be sure that you don't overlook your technology. With each passing day, businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on technology to drive revenue and communicate with clients.

If you lead a business that can survive without computers, internet access, phones, email, or can afford to lose productivity or business critical data if your IT systems fail...then there is no need to assess the performance of your IT systems. But if your business relies on fast and reliable technology to operate on a daily basis, then you should take advantage of a special offer.

Through December 17^th Guidant Partners is offering a free Network Assessment to any business with at least 1 server and 10 workstations. This assessment includes technology consulting, interviews with your staff to uncover pain or challenges with existing technology, a scan of your entire network infrastructure by a certified network engineer to ensure your equipment is being properly updated and patched to avoid failure or security threats, and a face-to-face report of recommendations to protect your business against vulnerabilities or to confirm that your current infrastructure is as stable. It's essentially a free "physical" for your technology, to give you peace of mind about your business, or to uncover areas in your IT that need attention. There's really nothing to lose, but much to gain.

To take advantage of this year end offer, please call 615-277-3361 or submit a request at www.guidantpartners.com via the "contact us" portal.
