IT Field Trip

Our goal for 2011 is to help IT personnel leave our User’s Group Meeting with direct experience and a clearer understanding of the new technologies available so that you can get more for your IT dollars and make common-sense decisions that will help your business right away.

We have created a full-day field trip on Friday devoted to showing you options that can reduce IT costs and headaches by taking your network’s speed, security, availability, reliability and ability to operate in emergencies to a whole new level.

We’ll start the day by taking a bus to tour a hosting facility and discuss how off-site replication and un-managed hosting options work. Next, we’ll continue to the HCSS campus to learn about inexpensive emergency and disaster recovery options, get hands-on with new technologies available for online backups and data recovery, and see exactly how cloud services work and what they can do for you and your business.
