Having recently been asked to sit on the Microsoft Small Business Specialist Advisory Council, Glen is very excited about the opportunity to help Microsoft determine ways to make the Small Business Specialist program better for the clients the community supports. The Small Business Specialist certification is relatively new to Microsoft and addresses a need in the industry that to date has been badly under-served. Bowes IT Solutions is positioned to help make a difference for our clients. Bowes IT Solutions supports the IT community in a number of other ways.

There’s little doubt anymore, the planet is in trouble. While it was once OK to question the wisdom of scientists predicting global warming, in our eyes, those days are gone.
 
We in the IT service industry -- like everyone else -- have a responsibility to do our part to help the environment. Computer systems use energy, pollute the environment when they are disposed of, and use fossil fuels via travel when we need to service them.  And the thing is, the very technology that uses these precious resources can be used to conserve them as well, if they are only managed properly. Wikipedia has a great starting point on the subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing.
