 The Christmas holiday season is upon us already.
What a year! Do you just want this year over? I hope that 2009
gives some political and economic relief, even though I am
quite sure we are in for a bumpy ride for the early part of
next year. Hopefully, things begin to look brighter next
year.
It is a time to reflect and give thanks for what we
have. I am thankful for my wonderful wife Debbie and my two
great children, Corey and Courtney. I am thankful that my
family is healthy and the members that have had medical issues
in 2008 are recovering well.
I am
thankful for the awesome team we have here at TeamAccent, and
for the stability that we have had in our workforce. The team
is the product and I believe we have the best.
I am
thankful that business has been stable enough to avoid layoffs
and severe cutbacks. I hope the best for all of you and yours
as well.
November
was really cool for us and also for a good number of visitors
to our facility. We had the Cisco NOW (Network On Wheels) Van
in our parking lot. The equipment they were able to stuff in
the van was amazing. Thirty lucky attendees got to attend a
hockey game at the new Citizens Business Bank Arena. See below
for the cool pictures.
Thanks
to all of you who give us the privilege of working for you. We
are deeply thankful. We promise to work very hard to continue
to prove to you that you made the right choice.

| Give Yourself A Tremendous Holiday
Gift
Save on Taxes, Computer Equipment, and Support . .
. But You Have To Act Fast!
It may seem too good to be true, but it isn’t --
let me explain.
Thanks to a little
publicized break in the 2008 tax stimulus package, the ceiling
for deductions against large vehicles, furniture, computer
equipment, etc. in a single year is $250,000. The amount was
raised from the scheduled $128,000 for 2008 and is likely to
be reduced in 2009.
 Keep in mind that to qualify, the
equipment must be purchased and expensed in 2008. Take a
little peek inside any office furniture or equipment store
between Christmas and New Year's Day and chances are you'll
see lots of buyers racking up some year-end
deductions!
But There Are Other Ways
to Save Money
Most IT vendors and
manufacturers offer really incredible rebates and discounts on
equipment towards the end of the year in a last ditch effort
to improve annual sales.
So if you
are going to need a network upgrade in the near future, you
can not only get better deals on software and equipment, but
you can also get the tax savings, making this a double dip on
saving money.
This Is Absolutely
The BEST Way To Save A Lot Of Money On IT Services And Support
For 2009; But You Better Act NOW Because This Is Going To Go
FAST . . .
All you have to do is
contact us by phone at 909-481-4368 so we can schedule a time
to discuss exactly what type of upgrades and support you will
need for 2009. Remember, we don’t have to do the actual
installation in December, but you must spend the money before
December 31st or the IRS won’t give you the deduction and
you’ll be back to paying full price for equipment and
support! |

We hope that all of

solutions to be useful for your company.
