Look around your office right now. How many wires are visible that connect your computers, monitors, printers, phones, and other devices to their electrical and internet sources? Think about all the wiring you can’t see hidden behind the walls. Then consider how all this technology is changing the way you process information and structure your workdays. You’ll find wiring mentioned in several places in this issue of Solutions for Business . First, on page 3, we invite you to GetWired for Productivity . Technicians at Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications are your go-to experts for all kinds of communications wiring projects. Wiring is one of several services Panora Telco provides to Crystal Freeze Dry , the subject of our Business Spotlight on pages 4 and 5. This maker of freeze-dried egg crystals has relocated to the Panora community and is pleased with the move. We’re pleased to keep this company connected with reliable phone and internet services and more. What DoWorkers Really Want? You’ll find answers to this question on page 6. Here’s a hint: It’s not all about the paycheck. Then on page 7, we return to the wiring theme and share tips on Avoiding Wi-Fi Woes . All of us at Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications are wired to help customers find the best solutions for them. Contact us whenever you have questions or need assistance.
