Welcome

We’d like to extend a special “Thank you” to all who attended our recent Lunch & Learn on CRM/xRM. We had a great group each day, with over 20 companies participating . Let me express another big thank you to Marc Wolenik from Web Fortis and Chris Dillon from Opus One for providing everyone with great information and insightful viewpoints. If you missed the event and have any questions you can email me directly at steven@planits.com. The presentation deck is located on the resources page of our web site at http://www.planits.com/resources.php

We are now looking forward with great anticipation to the next Lunch & Learn subject, The Business Case for Social Media. Unless you've been avoiding the news and the internet completely for the last couple of years, you know that social media is a white hot topic. These days it's found just about everywhere in the commercial world; from small retail (mom-and-pop) shops to the largest enterprise fortune 50 companies. That said, there are many questions left unanswered. Does social media make sense for my business? How are organizations leveraging it? How is success even measured?

Please join us Dec 2nd or Dec 3rd (register) to uncover the impetus for social media and why it makes sense for your business. We will be joined by Aaron Lewis and Gabriel Carrejo from Excite Social Media, LLC, a Silicon Valley based new media marketing consultancy.

What a team! We are so proud of these guys that we had to put their picture as a group into our Newsletter. We are fortunate to have such a talented crew. While as individuals they possess great skills, as a group, they blend and complement each other, creating a synergy that is hard to find in a technical team. Our hats are off to Jennifer King, director of Operations, who has put this great team together. We are certain she will keep PlanIT known as the place top engineers thrive and the top place the best engineers want to be.

We're doing some exciting things and want our customers to know about them.  Please feel free to follow us on Twitter.
