I am sitting at my desk today trying to get motivated to work… Custom Information Services (CIS) is having a ‘team building’ event this afternoon which is code word for a Holiday Party. We are closing at 12:30 and heading out to Dave and Busters at the Highlands in Arlington Texas. So you can imagine that we are all hustling to get last minute work done and hit the road. I of course need an article to publish for December. I am a bit behind on marketing activities due to busy sales activities. I will tell you I would much prefer to be busy in sales than in marketing.
With no topics coming to mind for an article other than some great manufacturing optimism per I thought I would write something that is really more on my mind this time of year and that is what a great year we have had and how thankful we are to have such wonderful customers to work with. I'll get to the Industry Week Article another day!
At CIS we have customers across many industries: manufacturers, distributors, weight loss clinics, financial services, not for profit organizations, a radio station, and so many more! Some have been customers for 13 or 14 years. I have been at CIS since 1997 and it is great to work with the same folks and the same companies for so long. I also am so glad to have a job and work with some awesome people. It really is a pleasure to come to work each day and spend time with a team that truly cares about the customer and each other.
Our team has to keep up with the latest and greatest technology and communicate that information to our customers and prospects. This is not an easy task. These guys will work all day with our customers and then go home and study for new Microsoft exams or research new technologies. It is also common to be grabbing coffee in the break room and have staff discussing how to solve a problem with the least amount of costs to the customer! I know that may be hard to believe, but we are always looking at how we can save our customers money.
We have accomplished several new things this year within our company:
- Office remodel (wow that was fun…)
- Launched a new website for the IT / Managed Services side of our company:
- New IT focused Blog Site:
- Updated our Microsoft Certification to Silver Competency:
Time to go! Happy Holidays!!!!
