  "Our upcoming company 'recognition barbecue' wasn't even planned by management," explains Mike Wilson, CEO of the 13 year-old-company, "The sales team told me that they want to thank the Tech Team, because 'without their expertise, they'd have nothing to sell.' I think the Tech Team was more honored that their peers thought so highly of them than if I had arranged it."
  
  In addition to cookouts, the COMNEXIA team often has houseboat parties on a lake in North Georgia, play team sports together and go to whirly ball for scheduled functions.
  
  Some functions are spontaneous too.
  
  "A few months ago, we had an excellent sales week," said Wilson, "we signed three new customers in four days and everyone was pumped.

  "It's hard not to sound like an alarmist with all the severe weather threats that have occurred for small and large businesses across the country this past year," says Mike Wilson, President and CEO of COMNEXIAâ„¢ - Atlanta's leading single source provider of computer network and Internet services for small and fast-growth businesses with headquarters based in Roswell, GA. "As we close this year and look forward to the next - now is the ripe time to take a hard look at how well your small business may be equipped to handle the next big weather threat and put into place proactive strategies designed to protect your company's valuable data and computer networks."
  
  Wilson offers these six sensible strategies for 2006 - to assess whether your computer networks are operating at their optimum capacity and determine whether your company's valuable data is safe and protected from everything from lightning, ice storms, hurricanes or other natural disasters or those pesky hackers and viruses.
  ...
  By scheduling regular back-ups - ideally to an off-site location - then you have a much higher likelihood of being able to recover data in the event your computer network experiences some catastrophic failure or shut-down, says Wilson and the data security experts at Roswell-based COMNEXIA.
  
  Tip 3: Store your back-ups offsite at a remote location: By ensuring that your important files and documents are securely stored at an off-site location and regular back-ups are maintained and updated you will have much stronger ‘peace of mind' that the integrity and recoverability of your data is safe in the event of a natural disaster or catastrophic occurrence like we've experienced following Hurricane Katrina.
  
  Tip 4: Are your network anti-virus protections up-to-date?Wilson advises that small businesses that don't have an in-house IT staff make it a priority to update anti-virus software weekly, if not daily.Wilson and his dedicated IT team at COMNEXIA recommend Symantic AV Corp or Enterprise edition 10.0 with spyware protection to stay on top of the latest virus protections.The network security advisor team at COMNEXIA suggests setting default daily scans of servers and workstations and daily definition updates.
  
  Tip 5: Are your network servers backed-up remotely?The best way to ensure your network is protected and essential back-ups are made is to employ a virtual private network connection or a pptp, Wilson says.If users are remotely accessing the network - it is a vital element to ensure only authorized end-users access the network remotely or otherwise.
  
  Tip 6: Is your company's computer network physically secure? (i.e. stored in a well-ventilated, locked room) One of the easiest ways to thwart a business' computer operations is to store network servers in a common area that can be easily contaminated by accidental spills, tight storage or imprudent use of space.Make sure that network servers are physically secured in a locked room with limited access to maintain the integrity of your company's computer files and extend the life of your company networks, Wilson says.

  "We're not only hooked on wireless technology," explains Mike Wilson, CEO/Founder of COMNEXIA Corporation, Atlanta's most trusted IT outsource solution provider for small to midsize businesses, "We've got our clients using it for all of their interactions with us via our 'Job Track' system."
  
  The Job Track system, designed in house exclusively for their own use, allows clients to go to the COMNEXIA website, click on Job Track and put in their order.Their designated tech person immediately receives the page on his Blackberry, can start sending solutions and communication to the client, begin timing his response and 'serves' the customer immediately.
  
  With this system, COMNEXIA customers can also track billing, list all past orders, find out who on their team has ordered service, add a new ticket for service, explain how critical the current problem is, etc. Job Track is fully integrated with the COMNEXIA tech team's Blackberrys.
  
  "Without a wireless system 'scheduling' would be impossible," says Wilson, "We are committed to immediately responding to our customers and you just can't be as organized, efficient and flexible with a phone.

  Mike Wilson, President and CEO of COMNEXIA, fears that many Microsoft NT 4.0 users may be caught off-guard at the end of this year because they are unaware that Microsoft has made the decision to shut the server down.According to Wilson, as of January 1, 2005, support by Microsoft of the NT 4.0 product will be discontinued indefinitely."Because Microsoft deems that the NT 4.0 server has approached end of life, their support of this system will no longer be available via download or through their customer support center," he explains."When a prospective customer asks what this will mean to their small business or home network that still may be operating MS Windows NT 4.0, I tell them, it's simple.Their system will never be more vulnerable."
  
  According to Wilson and the technology experts at COMNEXIA, the Windows 2003 server is the upgrade path from NT 4.0. However, because the Windows 2003 server does not recognize the same user-base or many of the conventions of NT 4.0 server, proper planning should immediately be taken to assure that companies are ready for this change.
  
  Wilson does have some good news for NT 4.0 customers who have not made the transition yet to a new operating system.There is still some time, he stresses, but the window is closing fast.Wilson and his team have been advising local businesses in Atlanta on steps they can put into place before the end of 2004 in order to protect their systems from security threats that may compromise the integrity of their company's entire network:
  
  First, immediately start planning now to replace NT 4.0 to Windows 2003 server, says Wilson. Most NT 4.0 server hardware is not worthy of Windows 2003 server software.Therefore, plan that some level of hardware will most likely need to be updated, Wilson cautions. Work with a qualified network support company like COMNEXIA to help you build a proper and efficient 2003 platform, suggests Wilson. Make budget considerations accordingly as making this transition is considered a major technology step, he says.
  
  Wilson says that information about this transition has been available on the Microsoft website since 2003.However, many small businesses that do not rely on outsourcing technology may still be unaware of the change."Our most immediate priority is to make sure that business owners know their options," he says.
