We are proud to announce that JEB & Company is now an Authorized Google Apps Reseller. Over the past year we have implemented several Google Apps installations with great success. We have completed the necessary requirements from Google and can now move forward as a proud Authorized Google Apps Reseller.
For those of you unfamiliar with Google Apps it is a suite of applications that includes Gmail, Google Calendar (shared calendaring), Google Talk (instant messaging and voice over IP), Google Docs & Spreadsheets (online document hosting and collaboration), Google Sites (team site creation and publishing), Start Page (a single, customizable access point for all applications), and Google Video.
Google Apps is also a great way to create your branding identity on the Internet. If you are currently using an email address that is not tied to your company name (ex: Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, Cox, AOL, Qwest, etc). You are probably not aware of how inexpensive it is to have your own email with your company name – for example name@yourcompany.com .
This can all be accomplished in a very short period of time (usually one day) and it is very affordable. All that you need is a domain and Google Apps. If you do not have a domain, you can purchase one for less than $10 at domainsbyjeb.com Once you have a domain we can configure Google Apps for your new identity.
Google Apps is a great suite of applications for business of all sizes. Over 3 million companies have gone Google. You should too!
For more information on Google Apps, please feel free to contact JEB & Company. We would be happy to help you with your needs.
Later this month JEB & Company will be sending out the first edition of our monthly newsletter. The newsletter will feature helpful technology news, technology tips for small businesses, information on our services, a monthly special and a recommended book of the month.
So while we are working on the content, I would like for you to help us come up with a name for the newsletter. Something catchy that will grab the readers attention and make them want to read the newsletter.
The person that comes up with the winning name will get a JEB & Company hat as a little thank you for helping us out.
JEB & Company- Let us manage your network, while you take care of business.
I just started reading What Would Google Do by Jeff Jarvis today and I wanted to share just a little bit of it with everyone. “Do what you do best and link to the rest.” This is great advice for business’s both small and large. A lot of times, a business will move away from their core business and try to shift to a different area to either help a current client or to gain a new client. In some cases the business will find success, but more often than not the experiment will end with poor results.
It is very important that you know what it is that you do best as a business and stick to it. Keep focused, and improve on what it is that you do best and get better at it! Next find people or business’s that you can trust and partner (link) with them. This way you can focus on doing with you do best and you will find that you help your clients even more by referring them to an expert to resolve their issue. The links that you create will make your company stronger and you will create new new bonds with other exceptional companies. As Jeff Jarvis states “Links are the new steel…”
I know what it is that we as a company do best. JEB & Company is a IT Consulting and Managed Services Provider. While that can cover many areas, I know what our core services are and we work hard everyday to improve on what it is that we offer. However I do know that I will not be able to meet all of our clients needs. In turn I am “linked” to several other companies that I can send my send my clients to. This allows me to focus on on our core business and at the same time help out my client with their needs.
Once I finish the book, I will be sure to post a full review. So far I am loving it and I am getting lots of great ideas and knowledge from it.
We wanted to share with you our updated company logo. The logo itself did not change, it is just the words included that we added. Monitor, Manage, Maintain. These are the three main principles that we observe everyday to ensure our clients have peace of mind when it comes to their IT needs.
Please feel free to contact JEB & Company with any questions that you have.

So I figured I would wait a week to put out my top 10 for 2010 as I did not want it to get lost with the rest of the top 10 lists. So from the home office in Chandler, AZ here is the Top 10 for 2010:
1. Make sure that you have a good back-up and diaster recovery plan in place. This does not mean, just backing up your data. You need to know how you are going to recover in the event of a diaster. If you need help with your plan take a look at JEBwatch Safety Care.
2. Get an iPhone App for your company. At CES this week a panel declared: Companies must have an iPhone App or the “don’t exist”
3. Get in the “Cloud” Companies and applications are already moving to the cloud. This trend will continue to pick up the pace this year.
4. Will AT&T loose the exclusive deal it has with Apple and the iPhone? Since the iPhone was released two and a half years ago, Apple has been the exclusive carrier in the US. But there have been many rumors that say Verizion could get the iPhone Q3 of 2010. I hope that this is true.
5. Move to company IT to a Managed Services Provide like JEB & Company. When you make the switch to Managed Services, you lower your overall IT costs, while improving your IT productivity. Learn more about Managed Services, and what it can do for you.
6. The Kindle will continue to grow. Amazon once again has change the way we read and buy books. I hope that more Universities make the switch to Kindle’s for text books.
7. Move to Google Apps This is the easiest way to begin your move to the cloud. If currently are using a hosted service for email and communication, or do not want to have to deal with administering your company email, Google Apps are for you. Google has made Google Apps affordable and available to any size company. Read all about Google Apps.
8. If you use Windows, move to Windows 7. Everyone knows that Vista was a flop. Several people have hung on to XP in fear of moving to Vista. Well Windows 7 is here and it is nothing like Vista. So if you use Windows and are still running XP, time to get a new PC with Windows 7.
9. Will Apple release a Tablet PC? The last half of 2009 was filled with rumors about a possible Apple tablet. The rumor mill has not stopped but it has pick up already in 2010. If Apple does release a Tablet PC will it be the next iPod or will it die a slow death like the Newton?
10. Anything Google. I am a huge fan of Google and there products and services. This year what will be there next big thing? 2009 Google gave us the Android OS for phones, Google Voice and a sneak peak of Google Wave. Android and Google Voice so far have been a success. I am still not sure about Google Wave yet. Google made a big splash this week with the announcement of its new mobile phone, Nexus One.
So as you can see 2010 is going to be a great year for tech. Here is to a great New Year for everyone!
JEB & Company was featured in the January 2010 issue of Business Solutions Magazine.
