Letter from the President

As 2016 comes to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to
sincerely thank all of our valued customers for your trust, support and
continued loyalty in enabling us to assist you with your IT needs and
help you grow your businesses. It has been an exciting year of growth
for us and we couldn’t have achieved that growth without each one of
you!

This past year Networking Technologies expanded from our
Erie headquarters and virtual office in Cleveland to serve the Buffalo/Rochester market. Along with opening a new office in downtown Buffalo, we have also hired nine additional employees between our sister companies, Teceri and Networking Technologies, with each person playing an important and strategic role within our organizations.

As we look to the new year, we are focusing our attention on excellence in customer service through state of the art solutions, comprehensive education and a superior service program to continue building on last
year’s growth in Erie, Buffalo and Cleveland.

Thank you for making 2016 our best year yet, and we look forward to helping you make 2017 your best year ever! We wish each of you a very happy and healthy holiday season and an exciting new year ahead.

From all of us at Networking Technologies and Teceri,

James Bahm
President, Networking Technologies

Our offices will be closed on December 23rd and 26th,
as well as January 2nd in observance of the holidays, however
a member of our team will remain on call during this time.

The holiday season is a time of merriment for one and all.
That includes scammers, fraudsters, and thieves too. It’s the best time of the year for them to do their worst.

More people will be shopping, partying, traveling, and generally letting their guard down. This gives these criminals an avenue
to unleash the Grinch in them.

The state of the modern meeting
used with permission from Microsoft Office Blogs

Love them or hate them, meetings are here to stay. As a communication
tool, meetings provide team insights, real-time bonding and
constructive conversation. But sometimes, meetings can become
unproductive. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor estimates that
businesses lose $37 billion in unnecessary meetings every year.
Because 37 percent of employee time is spent in meetings nowadays,
it’s worth considering how we meet in order to inform our growing
management styles and business strategies.
