Microsoft Offers Discounts On Office and Windows

This month Microsoft has expanded on a program they started not too long ago. They call it the "50 Percent Up-To-Date Discount" and basically for all you small and mid-size businesses using the Open Value Subscription, this allows you to upgrade your older versions of Office and Windows at a 50 percent discount.

In addition, they have decided to expand that to go back TWO versions of the software. So for Windows, go from XP or Vista to 7 and for Office go from XP or 2003 to Windows 7.

The only caveat - you must be upgrading Professional versions of the software so no using Windows Home or Office Student versions.

If you would like to learn more about the upgrade offer or Open Subscription information, call me at 888-222-2054 or email me at russc@colburn.us and we can discuss it.

Colburn Consulting Client of the Week

Well I thought I'd write a post each week highlighting a client of ours. Many of my clients ask about other clients and some even do business with each other. So this week I'm going to highlight ThermalPaperDirect.com.

I started working with David at ThermalPaperDirect.com about 8 years ago. He began by selling thermal paper rolls - the paper that feeds out of credit card machines. Since that time he has expanded the website to include printer ribbons, atm paper, bags, guest checks, money detectors and a lot more. Basically anything a business might need at the checkout counter or back office.

Over the years David has become one of those clients you wish they all were. He has a vision for his company, knows what it takes to get there and surrounds himself with people who have the same vision. He's a great business man, good person and has the right attitude - CUSTOMER COMES FIRST.

So take a look around ThermalPaperDirect.com and see if there is anything David can help you with.
