At IT Radix we take pride in empowering our clients to have the greatest impact they can. A medical startup reached out to us with a great idea and a serious need for a custom IT solution. Since their entire business model was based around the idea of a virtual office, they needed their cyber-work environment constructed from the ground up; and they needed it done fast.
You might recall the 1992 song, “My Grown-Up Christmas Wish” written by David Foster and his then wife, Linda. Natalie Cole was the first to record this holiday standard, but it was Amy Grant’s version that became the big hit. The lyrics showcase an adult writing to Santa and asking for much more than material things: the end to war, friendship for all and love that would never end.
While you’re decking the halls, why not protect them at the same time! We talk a lot about business security and how the internet can spell trouble if the right precautions aren’t put into place. As we swing into the holidays this year with Christmas and the new year right around the corner, it’s worth considering your home network.
Few songwriters have enjoyed hits with two songs about the same character. However, Johnny Marks did. He wrote “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” a 1949 hit for Gene Autry as well as “Run Rudolph Run” a 1958 hit for Chuck Berry. Both were based on the fabled reindeer created for Montgomery Ward in 1939.
Rudolph suggests you avoid the “reindeer games” that hackers use in phishing emails sent to scam you out of your data and financial resources.
While the song “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” may evoke smiles and laughter, if it were your business being run over by a disaster, we suspect you wouldn’t be smiling. Getting backups and disaster recovery (DR) right can be difficult. Add cloud technology into the mix and the complexity can increase even more.
The famous Dr. Seuss published How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 1957. The children’s story, written in rhymed verse chronicles how a solitary creature tries to steal Christmas by pilfering holiday items from the residents of Whoville. About a decade later, in1966, when the book was turned into a children’s holiday TV special, the song “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” debuted.

I’m often asked about our newsletter and who does it for us. I’m always proud to answer with the exception of a few guest articles now and then, it’s developed and created entirely in-house by our own IT Radix team.
For Growing A Multi-Million-Dollar Business From Rags To Riches Today, Robert Herjavec is known as the beloved “nice judge” on ABC’s Shark Tank, but if you ask him, he thinks the descriptor “fair” is more appropriate. Whatever you call him, make no mistake: he’s one of the most shrewd and successful businesspeople of our time.
