Customers in the News: September 8, 2006

Each week we try to share some recent news of our customers' achievements.  Accomplishments deserve recognition. No one deserves recognition for their accomplishments more than our customers. (Ok, our families do. But that's understood and we'll take care of that in another venue.)

Besides sharing the accomplishment, this also provides a means to share their solutions and technology within our customer community. 

We all share a common purpose: growth. And we all share a common need: more solutions to achieve that purpose. And together, as a group, we have the resources to deliver those solutions, all of them, for each other.

We'll share our customers' successes as find them. Feel free to share your stories. We'll post them here
