Triium Update - August 2006

Director's Message

It was good seeing so many of you in Duluth at the summer MMGMA conference enjoying the warm weather and sites, along with the conference.

August is traditionally a slow month with people on vacation.  It is a good time to work on projects that we've been putting off.  We are currently in an RFP process with telecommunications.  If you have a great hardware or service provider recommendation (or warning for a not so great one), please let us know.

Have a great August and let's hope we have comfortable temps to enjoy the rest of our summer.
