5 Ways to Save or Make Money for your IT Budget in 2009
By admin | December 29, 2008
Question:What are five ways to save or make money for your IT Budget in 2009?
Answer:
1) Buy used gear. Emerald Sun can help. We just updated a new feature on our website to help you with that too! If you visit this Emerald Sun link (http://search.emeraldsun.net/index.php?key=esllc#) you will find that we have added a search feature. Look for those IT hardware purchases your company needs to be successful there!
2)Buy someone elses surplus gear. We have some fantastic deals on new gear also. All of the OTHER places that are going under need to get rid of their IT hardware, and we are trying to help them out! This falls in both the new and used IT hardware catagory.
3)Ask us for your special discount. Please ask for a quote so we can be sure to give you your loyalty rewards! We appreciate your business and want to see you succeed with us.
4)Trade in old gear for new gear! What do you want to upgrade? What do you have laying around making a mess of your computer room? What’s that saying again??? One person’s junk is another’s gold? Maybe it is worth the phone call or email? Your requests can be sent to our sales department at sales@emeraldsun.net
5)Sell your unwanted IT gear to Emerald Sun! We are more than excited to list your hardware on our site and let our customers know what you have available! We like to have the hardware at our site, so we can test it, clean it and have it ready to ship the same day. We can buy the gear, or sell it on consignment. Emerald Sun is a flexible company to work with. Let’s talk about what you need and get it done!
These are just a few of the ways we believe we can help you save money or make money for your IT budget. As always, if you call Emerald Sun or email us, we will do our best to make the best of your time and money.

Happy Thanksgiving! Who’s Buying??
By admin | November 14, 2008
Emerald Sun has nothing to sell. Well, I take that back… we have lots to sell. But who’s buying??? Everyone seems to think that now is the time to tuck in the pocket book and wait. Wait for everything to go back to the normal free spending that we have been used to in the last decade or so. Here’s the deal.. We should rein in our spending, and be more cautious of where we are spending our money.
You should buy from a reputable supplier with experience and a low overhead so you know they can weather this storm of a nasty thing called “budget cuts”. Emerald Sun has helped several of our customers already turn the “budget cut” issue into a workable solution for both the IT department and the Financial controllers of their company. How can we do this? We offer New hardware- don’t forget, but we also can find the same IT requirements in used, refurbished, and factory refurbished conditions. Many times we can find some open boxed items that will allow us to sell at below the “straight from the manufacturers” prices.
All it takes is a phone call or an email with the parts you need on your end. Cut and paste it! It’s very simple!! We do the rest of the hard work, calling (and even sometimes begging) our network of trusted vars, brokers and end customers to find that golden part you need. Emerald Sun loves being that resource for our customers. We love to save money as much as your Financial Controllers do! It makes us both look good, and provides for a long term relationship. By the way, Emerald Sun has tons of references if you are a first time buyer! We look forward to hearing from you real soon! Please call us at 585-586-5751 or email our sales staff at: sales@emeraldsun.net
Oh- and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! We are very grateful for your continued loyalty to Emerald Sun. If nothing else please know we are truly grateful. Without your support we wouldn’t be here- cliché I know, but true!!

The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008
What does that mean to your company?
2008 is the year to buy/lease the new or used IT Hardware you really need and SAVE MONEY!

Also note the IRS states IT Hardware Tax Break for 2008 has some limitations: “Under the new law, a qualifying business can expense up to $250,000 of section 179 property purchased by the taxpayer in a tax year beginning in 2008.” You can read more about it on their website: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179227,00.html

Enterprise-in-a-Flash, SUPERIOR IT SECURITY FOR REMOTE ACCESS
By admin | April 26, 2008
Here is an email message I got from our contact at Plethora Technology. Emerald Sun has been using the Enterprise-in-a-Flash solution for a few months now. Our IT Security has already benefited from it. I am amazed at what was found, see below:
“When conducting some market research a few weeks ago using Google, I unexpectedly came across a number of documents and websites containing login credentials (usernames, passwords, access codes) for customers of GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, and dozens of e-commerce, banking, and travel services. This experience provides a vivid example of just how easy it is for passwords to be compromised — in this case, without even trying! And of course, if you rely solely on that password, you’re completely vulnerable once it’s exposed. That’s why we enforce 100% multi-factor authentication, so your customers are never at risk, even if their password is compromised.
To help get this point across, we put our experience — and an example of the information we found — into a one-page PDF that you can use to help your customers understand the urgency of the situation, and the real need for multi-factor authentication like Enterprise-in-a-Flash provides.
The file is available on your Partner Materials page, and also at the following link:
Please take a moment to look it over, and consider making it a priority to bring this safety alert to your customers. Today it’s the companies on the lists I stumbled across, but tomorrow it could be your customers. ”
Click on the picture below to sign up, or contact Emerald Sun for more information on this secure, reliable remote access to your pc: 585-586-5751 or sales@emeraldsun.net , your IT Security is depending on you to act before the OTHER guys do!
