Senior IT Consultant, Mike Oster, shares his thoughts on VoIP…

I have been in the IT industry for over 30 years, so it takes a lot for a technology to impress me. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology that impresses me. Maybe it’s because I remember the early days of the Internet, when things were as slow as a sloth.

Be prepared…we all know this as the Boy Scout motto.  And candidly it could also be a motto or refrain you would hear from the many professionals at IT Radix.  We take our work with our clients very seriously and want to enable our clients to work regardless of any kind of small nuisance or large disaster that could affect their technology, their data, their location or their staff.

The keepers of the Parrot Gardens at the Vancouver Zoo thought they had it all under control in 2009. Clip the wings of all the birds and none can escape. Well, Chuva the Macaw found her way out and got pretty far down the road without flying—she found a nice spot to lounge, nestled in the engine of an RV parked in the lot.

A leading software application developer organization focused on the healthcare market has aligned with IT Radix because we offered them ways to increase their productivity, lower their costs, and provided a platform for easily scalable growth.  This forward-thinking firm delivers healthcare technology applications to its clients that make it easier for them to engage, connect and communicate with their clients.

At IT Radix, we strive every day to provide our client with a “WOW” level of service.  We want them to be happy and thrilled and view our service with a big “Wow” when we complete a task.  Doing so takes on many forms each day with each project.

We are very proud to be working with one of our newest clients.  We feel that way for a host of reasons, but the main one is that this company is a New Jersey success story—a family business that traces its roots back three generations.  The firm was started by an immigrant couple selling their unique food products door to door in Hoboken and Jersey City.

Maintaining a healthy business environment is an important part of running a successful company.  Your environment affects every part of your business, so it’s important to maintain a healthy space.

But your environment doesn’t stop at your office doors; and as business leaders, it is our responsibility to be mindful of the environment outside of our offices, too.

Other than when playing the board game, managing “risk” is never a game.  Our newest client manages risk as its core competency.  They are in the business of high powered insurance products and services, and work full time at minimizing risk for their clients.
