We Have Moved - 2010-09-02

It's official! On Friday, June 18th, Benson & Associates moved into our new home at 1206 - 20th Avenue SE. Our new offices are located in the Ramsey Design Centre, an architecturally rich red brick building that runs along 11th Street SE. We chose this larger space with the ability to expand in mind, and have built a state-of-the-art data centre with room to grow. We are excited to be expanding our business and thank you, our customers, for continuing to place your confidence and trust in us as your IT partners.

With our increased capacity, we are pleased to announce our newest service, Hosted Exchange. This hosted email service gives you access to the increased capability of Microsoft Exchange Mail without having to host it yourself. That means you never have to worry about losing your emails, contacts or calendar items. Microsoft Exchange is more secure than internet mail, and allows you to sync with Microsoft Outlook calendars, share folders, and maintain contacts for your whole organization. Benson & Associates maintains and backs up all of your data and information, so the dreaded crash of your email system where you lose everything is a thing of the past. Please give us a call if you would like more information on this enterprise software and service.

As our "Office Warming" gift to our clients, we are pleased to offer a new Referral Incentive program.  When you recommend our products or services to a friend, colleague or associate, and that referral becomes a new client for Benson & Associates, we will put your name in a draw to win a brand new Epson NX 125 printer. The more clients you refer, the more entries with your name go in the draw, so feel free to refer away! The draw will take place on November 15, 2010.

 

Our New Neighbours

As a way to get to know our neighbours, we toured our new building and dropped in on a few of the businesses. We found them to be an interesting bunch, creative and dynamic companies.
