Welcome to the first issue of Business Connections.
Adams has created this quarterly publication to provide valuable information to
our business customers. You can expect each issue to cover topics that affect your
company and provide examples of how our communications services can be a part
of your success and growth.
We start on page 3 with reasons to Make Your Next Phone System a Hosted VoIP. This
voice technology offers many features to save your business time and money, so
it’s well worth a look when you’re in the market to replace your current phone system.
We share a Business Spotlight on Dearwester Grain Services, Inc. on pages 4 and 5.
This family-owned business serves Western Illinois from its nine locations, and Adams
is keeping everything connected through our Hosted VoIP. I think you’ll enjoy reading
owner Matt Dearwester’s thoughts on how Hosted VoIP is benefiting Dearwester as
well as what has led to his company’s success.
Adams is committed to bringing you a full range of solutions for your business,
and the addition of Adams Experts to our suite of services is evidence of this. On
page 5 of this issue, you’ll learn about the computer services it offers. Speaking of
computer issues, don’t miss the Top 5 Online Security Tips and Common Security
Threats on page 6. Then on page 7, check out the Employee Profile on Mike Ridder ,
our Chief Operating Officer.
We’re here to keep you connected to your customers, while giving you the tools
and technology you need to keep your business moving forward. Let us know how
we can help you grow your business into the future.
Sincerely,
Jim Broemmer
Chief Executive Officer
