"That is so 20th Century! "

July 2012

Greetings!

A few years ago when my daughter was still in high school, I told her that I would e-mail her a reminder. She said "Oh dad, e-mail is so 20th Century." That was in 2008!

Her statement got us thinking here at Tektivity, what else is "so 20th Century?"

Have you checked out TEKBlock yet?

TEKBlock is a program where you pre-purchase a block of time from Tektivity for a fixed monthly fee. The amount of time you purchase is completely up to you and your business needs. Together, we'll go through your previous invoices and determine how many hours your company has used in the past and how much you spent on IT needs. From there, we'll help you decide what will work best for you.

Signing up for TEKBlock automatically enrolls you in TEKWatch, one of our six managed services.

TEKWatch is our server monitoring service package where Tektivity will monitor your server(s). Services included in the TEKWatch service package:

Server Monitoring
24x7 server monitoring
