Client Profile

Charles M. Schulz Museum

The Red Baron, a security blanket, and a five-cent psychiatrist—just some of the classics you will find when you visit the largest collection of Peanuts art work in the world! Laugh at Charles M. Schulz’s original comic strips, learn about the art of cartooning and Schulz’s role in its development, watch documentaries and animated Peanuts specials in the 100-seat Theatre, and draw your own cartoons in the hands-on Education Room. The Schulz Museum also features changing exhibitions, a re-creation of Schulz’s art studio, outdoor gardens, holiday workshops, and special events. Group tours are available. The Museum is open 11–5 p.m. daily (closed Tuesdays in winter); 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

No visit to the Museum is complete without going next door to explore the places where Schulz “hung out.” Visitors can ice skate at the Redwood Empire Ice Arena (a.k.a. Snoopy’s Home Ice), eat at the Warm Puppy Café (serving American cuisine and wonderful salads), and shop at Snoopy’s Gallery and Gift Shop.

Strategies for Business Continuity

For today's small businesses, it is no exaggeration to say that information is the engine for your business. Every aspect of your company - product development, sales, finances, human resources, everything - exists in and is managed through your information system. Information technology is the repository and means of delivery for the information that drives your business. In a real sense, your information is your company. How you protect it and put it to work is the key to leveraging your competitive advantage.

Fortunately, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning are now available for companies of all sizes. With recent advancements in technology, every company can implement strategies to protect their business.

Due to the popularity of our January Strategies for Business Continuity Lunch and Learn and the tremendous demand for this service, we have decided to present a second Lunch and Learn on this topic.

Please join us on April 29th or 30th for: Strategies for Business Continuity – AdvantageCare Backup and Disaster Recovery.

We are proud to announce that Adam Camacho and Ari Piotrkowski are the PlanIT Solutions Employees of the Year for 2008! Both gentlemen were leaders in attitude and actions throughout 2008. Adam and Ari consistently exceeded expectations and consistently demonstrated commitment to PlanIT’s core values. Both Ari and Adam have tremendous respect and appreciation for our clients and their IT needs.

Adam, an integral part of PlanIT’s team since 2006, has recently been promoted to Senior Network Engineer. With special training and certifications in ShoreTel VoIP technologies, Adam is a lead on ShoreTel deployment and other network projects.

Ari, also a key member of PlanIT’s team since 2006, has recently been promoted from Senior Network Engineer to Implementation Consultant. While Ari’s technical skills allow him to act as a special projects expert, his main focus is to ensure that new AdvantageCare clients have the best on-boarding experience possible.

Both Adam and Ari have bright futures at PlanIT Solutions and we look forward to their leadership and contributions in 2009.
