:: On the Web's Leading Edge

Greetings From Inside the Box! Winter's arrived and, while it's gotten colder outdoors, it's been getting cozier Inside the Box. We've continued to add new staff and services to the point that we've pretty much filled out our recently expanded office space. We're really excited about the new talent that's been brought on board as we continue to explore and apply the latest web and IT technologies to help grow organizations of all sizes.

New IT Services
Small Box Rolls Out New Services to Help Organizations of All Sizes

When it comes to IT systems small to mid- sized businesses often find themselves in a bind. Unable to hire a dedicated IT engineer or manager, smaller organizations wind up evolving an ad hoc IT system of hardware and software that can be aggravatingly unreliable, frustratingly difficult to use and alarmingly insecure.

Small Box now offers the following new services to help organizations enhance their productivity and security without being distracted by the headaches of IT management and maintenance:

Windows and Mac Desktop Support
Server Support- Windows and Linux
Network Support
Database Development and Administration
Network Administration
Security- total defense against intrusions
