1102 GRAND, Kansas City’s Data Center & Internet Hub Wishes a Happy New Year for 2011!

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Posted By: Darren Bonawitz

So 2011 is officially in full swing, and before getting too far into the year, I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone for their ongoing support of 1102 GRAND. As in years past, our team met a lot of new people in 2010 and is fortunate that many have become customers. We appreciate the new business as well as the ongoing business from our existing customer base, and we look forward to working with everyone going forward. Thank you again for your confidence in 1102 GRAND!

Now, bear with my non-economist perspective on the economy. Although there is still uncertainty with the economy as a whole, from talking with several companies, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that things are better than they were a year ago. Businesses continue to see a lot of pent up demand, but that demand is slowly starting to release. Current and prospective customers alike are telling us they are starting to see the same thing although it is still not rapidly accelerating and not a guarantee month-to-month. So most companies do not appear to be seeing a flood of new activity, and I am certain the improvement occurring is not across the board for all companies or vertical markets. So no hate mail, please. I’m not saying that we’re back to “good times” yet or that everyone is “winning”. My point is that we should all be thankful for any improvement no matter how incremental or insignificant it may seem. Not going backwards is the first step forward.

If most of us can meet or exceed even the most modest growth targets for 2011, the results will be meaningful and the year will be far better than we’ve seen is a while. It is more than just about the numbers on the financial statements too. I’m convinced it is more important from a customer and employee confidence standpoint. It is so easy for people at all ranks within a company to go through the days and weeks on “bad economy cruise control”. As we start the New Year, I think it is time to shake the dust off, and find a little bit of the swagger from the good times. At 1102 GRAND, we are ready to go, and 2011 is going to be a good year! We hope you feel the same and are right there with us. All the best for a fun and profitable 2011!

Darren Bonawitz of 1102 GRAND Endorses New Landings, a Kansas City Area Job Club

When we were at the Kansas City Area Development Council’s (KCADC) annual meeting a couple of weeks ago, Greg and I caught up with several friends and met some great people. One such group we had the pleasure of being introduced to is New Landings, and I wanted to make sure people were aware of this organization.

While things appear to be better with the economy than they were a year or two ago, I know that there are still many people looking for a job and many others who are still at risk. If you are out of work or know others who are, please check out their information and be sure to share with others. http://www.nljc.org/
