Great Connections for Winter 2018

2 WINTER 2018 Talent and technology are a powerful pair. When people with the right skills and traits are given the tools required for success, virtually anything is possible. This issue of GREAT Connections includes several examples of the talent-and-technology combination. The first is on page 3, where we look at how T echnology Helps Small Businesses Grow Anywhere . Thanks to technology, talented entrepreneurs can live in small towns and still achieve great things. On pages 4 and 5, you’ll find a Business Spotlight on Werner Enterprises . If you only think of truckers, think again. This Omaha-based transportation and logistics company seeks employees with all kinds of talent to keep Werner moving forward. To help with technology, Great Plains Communications provides Werner with robust broadband solutions. Unfortunately, cybercriminals also use talent and technology, so it’s vital to stay informed and take precautions. Check out 7 Common Types of Cyber Attacks and How to Help Protect Against Threats on page 6. I’m proud of the incredible talent and technology we have at Great Plains Communi- cations and encourage you to contact us to help you maximize your ROI and realize your business goals.
