The holiday season is here and Trinity Children’s
Foundation has asked our company to participate in their Holiday Hero
Drive.
Your contribution helps Trinity support abused, abandoned,
neglected, and other at-risk children in the unique and innovative
children’s services programs of Trinity Youth Services. Every gift to
Trinity is an investment in the future of not only the children they
serve but our community as a whole. Your generosity will help build a
brighter tomorrow for thousands of children in need.
If you would like to participate please visit our Rancho
Cucamonga office and you will find the Holiday Hero Drive donation area
with cards from several children and their Christmas wishes located in
the front lobby.
Thank you for your Generosity!!!

Thanksgiving has come and gone. Christmas is just around the corner.
It is difficult to believe that the year is almost over. It seems like
just yesterday that we were planning for 2007 and now it is all but
gone.
However; we have not given up on the year yet. As you probably already
know, we are hosting a Business Security and the Internet lunch and
learn on
December 5th at 11:30am. The
event will be held at the beautiful Victoria Gardens Cultural Center in
Rancho
Cucamonga (see below).

Another big development is our
new Data Center in Riverside. With the addition of this facility, we are
able to provide Disaster Recovery Solutions, Hosted Applications, Server
Co-Location, Hosted Email, and Remote Access Services. We are really
excited about this facility. As well, we are opening an office in Riverside
in early 2008.
I would
like to wish a Happy Holiday greeting to you and yours.
Marty

You may know the Internal Revenue Code's Section 179
as the tax loophole that lets some businesses write off the purchase of
luxury SUVs. But Section 179 isn't just for Hummers anymore.
Congress clamped down on the SUV loophole in October
2004, but the rest of Section 179, designed to stimulate business
spending with an up-front tax break, remains in force and has even
improved with age. Most business property that is useful for a few years
is accounted for as depreciating over time. For tax purposes, a portion
of the cost can be deducted each year. What Section 179 does is allow a
business to receive all those tax benefits in the first year. In 2003,
the one-year write-off limit was quadrupled from $25,000 to $100,000. Indexed
for inflation, that amount is now $125,000. One other important change
came through in 2003. The IRS added off-the-shelf software to the list of
eligible property under Section 179. Computer hardware was already on the
list. That means that any computer
software you purchase through the end
of this year may qualify for a complete write-off on your taxes for the
coming year. You could think of it as a giant rebate – spend money in
this calendar year and get a big chunk of it back in the next year.
There may never be a better opportunity to purchase
computer hardware and software for such a small net cost to you. If
you’ve been thinking about an upgrade or replacement, call and talk to
us. Let's make sure you get the most bang for your buck!

Take Back Your Bandwidth
By Blake Britton, Vice
President, Axxys
|
For businesses today the Internet has evolved from
being a convenience to have to a business necessity. The Internet
delivers business critical applications, e-mail, and telephone
conversations, while providing your company’s image to the general
public. The Internet is also often accused of being the biggest
productivity killer for a lot of businesses. The question: Is content
filtering a necessity? Here are my three reasons why my answer is Yes!
|
|
Maximize bandwidth: For
most businesses the big bandwidth hogs are the downloading of large files
and the streaming of music. When either of these activities are occurring
the Internet slows down for everyone. At Accent we are constantly
downloading files that are pertinent to troubleshooting issues or
patching client hardware and/or software. If there were end users
streaming video or music (usually Derek), then this would make our
engineers battle for bandwidth. By limiting the content users can
download or be streamed on the Internet bandwidth is then maximized for
the entire business.
The Internet is a productivity
killer to the undisciplined:
It happens every late summer and fall, fantasy football, one of the
biggest productivity killers for businesses kicks into full swing. The
Internet is a double edged sword, a great source for business critical
information along with and great information for personal use. There are
a lot of businesses that do not constrain the Internet and trust the
judgment of their employees. While this may
be a great idea and a real morale boost for some employees; however, if
productivity falls as a result of those fantasy leagues, a good content
filtering will give you the ability to tighten parameters for a period of
time or at least meter the amount of time spent on non- business related
sites. Read More
