Greetings!
 

What a busy and exciting month June has been for us here at Tektivity. We've been working hard on some major projects! There are three huge announcements we would like to share with you!

 

Number 1: Tektivity accuires MSC Technologies, see the full story below.

 

Number 2: We launched our newly designed managed services packages to better fit your IT needs. 

 

Last, but definitely not least, 

 

Number 3: WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE! Well, not yet. We're releasing the new site on Friday, June 29, so make sure to check it out. Feedback is always welcomed.

 

You know, they say work hard, play hard, and we have been doing just that. Our Tekteam participated in the 20th Annual Volley-4-Education volleyball tournament on June 1, which was a blast! We got to compete among other Cedar Rapids businesses. We also held a Grill and Chill at our headquarters on June 16 where clients came to enjoy grilled hamburgers and homemade potato salad. Mmm! (See pictures of both events on our Facebook page!).  

  

Have a great July, and Happy Independence Day! 

  

Sincerely,

TEKteam
