Hensley Elam Blog

There are some short, quick and simple things that you as a user can do in order to protect yourself and your data. Some of our upcoming blogs from The Computer Place will be aimed at helping getting you to some tools easily. And while the tendency is to focus on the "software" or techie tools, we're going to just focus on some "process", "policy" or just plain "know how". We're also going to try to keep it in some "plain speak". We can start with this URL for the purpose of our next few blogs as it is sweet and simple Microsoft Computer Security.

Greetings,

It is with tremendous excitement that I get to announce the completion of the acquisition of The Computer Place (www.c-place.com) located in London, Ky.

The Computer Place is the leading IT infrastructure service delivery firm in south central Kentucky. Based in London, they have provided infrastructure support services in the communities around London including Manchester, Corbin, Barbourville and Williamsburg for the past 17 years for nearly 2300 clients.

The Computer Place brand, staff and location on 5th Street in London will begin to operate as a division of Hensley-Elam starting today October 1st. We're gaining 5 new staff members including The Computer Place management staff Mr. Bud Stuber, Mr. Roger Otis and Mrs. Judy Stuber as well as their service staff members Mr. John Halcomb and Mr. Doug Owens. Hensley-Elam has worked with these team members since our own companies founding and we're proud to call them friends first as well as team members now. This brings our full-time staff headcount to 19.

This is a strategic event for Hensley-Elam to continue to emerge as one of Kentucky's most reputable and effective full-service IT services firm. It is also our final planned acquisition for 2010.

The communities in The Computer Place's service area will immediately benefit from the internal technical resources, staff resources and certifications of Hensley-Elam in order to enhance the already strong resources available from The Computer Place. Additionally, the robust creative design and software development resources of Hensley-Elam will augment The Computer Place with services not previously in house and not often available in the community at all little less under one roof as they are now.

Thank you to the clients and strategic partners of Hensley-Elam that have helped us make this event happen and welcome to the 700 current clients of The Computer Place.

Cordially,

Russ Hensley, CEO

It's Friday for sure, but it's the beginning of the World Equestrian Games here in Lexington. I actually got to see the count down clock to say 0 Days.


And to kick it off Hensley-Elam and Dell are hosting a hospitality tent for our clients that are working with us for SAN storage solutions for their businesses. So, it's off to Lee Ann Rimes and Randy Travis... at Applebee's Park. You can find me "Digging up Bones", with Randy Travis tonight.

But that's not all we just released the FRESH version of our web site in conjunction with the games! Check it out from our internal creative!

Hensley-Elam has made note of some key concepts that we try to engage with out clients. One of those is the philosophy that there is a rhythm to business. Business contains a series of dance steps, those for the client and those for our team. It's through these rhythms that we learn how interact with our clients most efficiently and build processes in our teams that service our clients. It's how "IT" gets done.
