Innovation, It’s What We Do.

       With several new business models, local and national business has flocked towards us. In February, we released our “Hardware as a Service” (HaaS) outsourced IT option. Although many companies have struggled in developing an effective model for this, CCR’s has been nothing short of successful. This solution has improved many businesses outlook on IT and helped them optimize employee productivity, cut opportunity costs, and enhance business continuity. This option allows business owners to keep more money in their pocket by converting a typical capital expense to an operational expense. It also takes the tension away from IT because the consumer is no longer responsible for maintenance, operations, or performance. When a company purchases HaaS, they purchase functionality and high performance without any uncertainties.

      Worrying about surprise upgrades or not being able to open the file extension with the god-awful X on the end of it (i.e. “.xlsx” or “.docx”) is a thing of the past. With licensing, hardware, maintenance, and an entire IT department (INCLUDING labor) at a one low flat rate it’s easier than ever to forecast IT costs without fear that your server will crash (there goes $7,000!), because guess what? CCR’s HaaS model has it ALL covered. Everything.

      Another area of growth and excitement within CCR is our Broadcast Monitoring Infrastructure service.

      Local radio and television run ads of all sorts. Big companies (whether its Ford, Swiffer, or Gucci) want verification that their ads are running at full strength throughout the world. Media/Broadcast Monitoring has become an important asset for many of these companies. They track their media marketing to make sure its playing the full ten times per day (i.e. the local station isn’t playing it 9 times and selling the 10th spot to another advertiser to make an extra buck) as well as to gauge results.

      At the same time, politicians and celebrities want to know who is saying what about them. These individuals and their organizations pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to track what the local, national, and international media is saying about them.  The companies that offer this monitoring service require a presence in every possible DMA/MSA in the country so that they can “listen” or “watch” exactly what is happening everywhere at once and give the company, individual, band, or organization a comprehensive world-wide report of what is being said or played.

      Circle Computer Resources has provided a solution to many large media monitoring companies throughout the United States and Canada. With this business model, the monitoring company need not worry about hardware or finding a physical presence because all of it is provided by CCR at a low monthly rate. This service can be provided with a physical location nearly anywhere in the world. We have become one of the most effective collocation providers in North America and anticipate expanding our service overseas in the upcoming months.  

     The energetic and enthusiastic CCR mentality has inspired creative business models that have exploded into a waterfall of new clients. We have survived the current economic downturn and have gained momentum with a growth rate of over 30%.
