Message from the President

Greetings,

As the economy slowly continues to rebuild, we’re seeing many signs of recovery in the business technology sector. Many companies that survived the worst recession in generations are now reinvesting in technology to keep their operations efficient and reduce costs. These companies are investing in their economic future and will be much more capable of supporting and benefitting from the projected economic growth, even though it will be a long slow road to full recovery.

BCS is also investing in our future with a new website that provides extensive information on our products, services, and the business software industry. Please visit our website to view the many whitepapers, case studies, blog posts and other valuable information.

We’re also investing in Microsoft Lync as our new communications solution. We expect to deploy Lync throughout our practice in the next couple months, and we believe it will significantly enhance our interactions with customers, partners and team members. This is a solution that we recommend all companies consider, as it can radically reshape how businesses communicate. We’ll share more about Lync in future communications.

If you’re ready to invest in your business software, please call or email us to discuss a free evaluation of your current environment.

Best regards,
Bob Bond
President, Bond Consulting Services
