News: SARS Postponement: Summer Tradeshow in Bangkok, Thailand threatened by SARS.

What & Why?  Simple: Because our shareholders demand it and we've been doing it for years.  A funny story, two years ago in a business meeting, one of the participants described our president as a cost controller. A dot-com banker at the table said, "who cares about controlling costs, its all about revenues!"  Well reality has returned and many of that banker's companies that only focused on revenues (get big fast!) are no longer!  We never left reality and believe in efficient management of resources (keeping spending under control), information (not recreating the wheel), protection (securing your business against the unexpected), and personnel / facilities (doing more with less).  Let us help you with:
