Chapter Meeting Friday,
March 10, 2006 - at 7:30 AM

Lessons For Your Clients
and Your Firm

Technology is having an impact on our business and our clients business. When done right, technology can help us reach out to current and prospective clients and help us in many ways provide even higher levels of service.

We heard Ciro Cetrangolo speak last year to another group at the Stonegate Conference Center in Hoffman Estates and thought it was one of the best overviews of all parts of IT, not just your computers, not just your website, not just your network but all the parts that you need to have working to be effective with how you operate in business.

Our speaker will be Ciro Cetrangolo, CEO of IntegrationWorks, an IT consulting and integration firm located in Crystal Lake.

More about IntegrationWorks:

"IntegrationWorks helps companies leverage technology to bring automation and efficiency to every aspect of their business operations for maximum success. We understand the pressures and frustrations you experience with tight budgets, limited staff and the complexity of today's computer systems, which is why we put out 20+ years of integration and connectivity experience into choosing exactly the right systems and equipment you need to achieve the highest return for your investment. Our clients get every IT service they need from one vendor. We'll take the mystery out of technology by educating you about what we do before we do it.

"A GOOD TIP: A small company that understands that the right technology can be a competitive edge for their company and help them grow and meet their goals. Additionally, any company owner that feels they are just “getting by” with their technology and computer network. They might feel stuck or out of control – and not know where to turn. We enjoy educating business owners and decision makers that their IT investment doesn't have to be a burden. We can show them how technology can be used to automate their business, make it more efficient, more profitable, and a lot more fun."

Come hear what Ciro says are the things that technology must be doing to be working effectively for you. See how your firm and your clients match up and how to fill in any missing components.
