Well, I will tell you. Starting around mid-December we worked feverishly on into January developing a number of websites and web applications. We have been promoting our partnership with iDrive (visit here to know more) and it is looking well. Co…
How about $1 per month per account (standard price) with us and we don't have the Exchange headaches (we use MailEnable). You can check your e-mail using an Internet browser, cell phone, smartphone, or traditional clients such as Outlook, Thun…
Are people willing to pay for the extra? The way I see it, they don't like it when I charge the hourly charge to get them back up when a regular workstation goes down (like they had today). They're happy, but they don't like my invo…
Well, before we decide to lynch MS, you had better talk to the fine folks providing Linux and other OS flavors. You either use their built-in browser or Mozilla. IE is mostly on a Windows-based OS or can/has been available for Mac. So the door ha…
What you are talking about is the same thing Sun had preached for years people would go to. The web os is a good idea for some business entities but not all and it is not beneficial for every situation. For example, a MS person held a conference a…
Hype is what drives this. I don't think innovation has anything to do with the acceptance rate. IE 8 is a very good browser that is standards compliant better than the previous version. I partly think the "acceptance" rate is large…
I use to work in fast food for a while before settling back into the computer arena. One of the things I was excellent at was selling (upselling) from the large to the extra large drink size (for 10 cents more) (this was when I worked for Taco Bell…
I would serve almost any customer of any size for any need. I, though, will be forward (as experience has taught me) with my recommendations rather than passive and whatever the customer wants.
Time is money. I have a client who lost their laptop--which is what they use for their accounting, on-the-road contact management, e-mail, etc. The HDD died. Months prior I had recommended my offsite backup solution (prior to the company I am usi…
My name is Robert Williams and I am one of the owners of Williams Web Solutions (www.williamswebsolutions.net) headquartered in Kingsville, Texas. We offer three pillars of services.Pillar 1: Design/Development - Website design, redesign, maintenan…
I took a business management class in college. Our task was to study businesses--their mission, product/service, time in business, demographic(s) served, etc.--and determine whether that business will be successful. This was when Amazon.com was in…
One of the things that hurt businesses concerning hurricanes, earthquakes, ice and winter storms, floods, and fires is they only had paper files. We have developed an online service (stored at our data centers) that documents (in PDF or Word Doc fo…
LANs are already assumed. Besides, when the conversation was dealing with a small 20-man shop, I even host for companies that is the husband (one-man shop) on a dial-up connection. Regardless of size, all my clients are treated equally important t…
The only disadvantages I can say are:1) I don't want to pay to host my Word Docs, Excel, etc. by Microsoft or Google.2) I want to keep everything locked down and so confidential that almost nobody knows these documents or e-mails exist.I firmly…
Hosted e-mail is different than hosted application...just like hosting a website is different than hosting a web application. E-mail and websites go down. Although bad, but not as bad as someone's application. E-mail down is inconvenient. W…
To answer your a, yes we (www.williamswebsolutions.net/hosting-storage/email-hosting.aspx) offer that with our MailEnable (www.mailenable.com) e-mail hosting. service. If there is a feature that oddly is not available, we can make it available. To…
I worked at company where an employee was a lot like this employee described. He eventually got let go. Everyone--the boss, fellow employees, and customers--were happy he was gone. Unfortunately he caused a number of issues and acted as if he was …
And yet what is usually the OS of choice when I go to Wal-Mart: Windows. What are many businesses using: Windows. When I talk to people who have questions or doing things--whether accounting, metal fabrication, etc.--it all runs Windows and MS Off…
At present we only do support on an "as-need" basis. We are not a authorized repair company or anything like that where we have a quota or a service agreement we have to comply with. We made attempts in the past to have scheduled mainten…
We do the same thing with our hosting. If you host with us and refer someone (and they join), your next month's hosting is free. We set no limits to also give the incentive they may never have to pay another hosting invoice again. It has wor…
Beg...Seriously, though, you have to establish what seperates you from other developers or what you offer. We offer development, hosting, and IT solutions. What got us many of our recent work partly was because we are willing to meet with them and…
