Are you ready for swine flu? The Federal government has offered guidance to businesses on how to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus and how to prepare for a major outbreak. They stressed the importance of allowing employees who exhibit flu symptoms to go home and stay home until at least 24 hours after their fevers subside. They also said that businesses should consider eliminating policies requiring a doctor’s note to justify a sick day and that employers should be prepared to operate with fewer people.

Public health agency recommendations for dealing with swine flu include not only staying home from work, but keeping children home from school FOR SEVEN DAYS at the first sign of flu-like symptoms.

Will you be able to give your team the flexibility to take care of their first priorities while keeping an eye on yours?

Yes. If you Think Outside the Box.

Think Outside the Box IT allows a “work from anywhere” office environment. It also has many other benefits, including saving thousands on your equipment costs—no more new servers. Low monthly hosting fees include almost a full T-1 of bandwidth. Save hundreds and even thousands of dollars on power costs as you no longer need dedicated air conditioning to keep your servers cool. Be secure with full disaster recovery; put your operations in a carrier class data center with full redundant power, internet and state of the art security. And virtual servers are Green Technology, and will reduce your carbon footprint and make you a more environmentally friendly company–all with no changes to your current IT providers!

I am not only the president and CEO of New England Network Group (NENGroup), I am a satisfied customer of Think Outside the Box IT. I can attest to its value and security. After losing power and having my office flood after the recent biblical rains, I was able to operate uninterrupted, thanks to the virtual servers.

I would love the opportunity to tell you more about Think Outside the Box IT, and to offer your first month free. Please call me at 781.362.1169, or email me at sducharme@nengroup.com to learn more and to take advantage of our one month free offer.
