Kansas City Data Center, 1102 GRAND, Features Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

By: Darren Bonawitz

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Here is a special feature on Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. about who it is, who it serves, how it’s associated with 1102 Grand, and why Kansas City!

Company Description: Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (MHM) is a national independent CPA firm – 3rd largest in Kansas City and 8th largest in the country – that is dedicated to providing high quality audit and attest services including: Financial Statement Audits, SAS 70 Audits, Employee Benefit Plan Audits, Reviews and Agreed Upon Procedures. They are guided by their core values of competence, integrity, respect and value, and with more than 30 locations nationwide, they are a nationally recognized alternative to the Big Four.

Who it Serves: While MHM provides services to a variety of industries and companies, their primary focus includes mid-sized and growing companies (public and private) in the construction, nonprofit, life sciences, manufacturing, financial institutions and other professional services industries.

How it is Associated with 1102 GRAND: We provide SAS 70 services to 1102 GRAND.

Why Kansas City: MHM’s roots in Kansas City can be traced back to 1954 when Ernest D. Mayer opened a small accounting practice. After years of steady growth, Mayer Hoffman McCann’s tax practice merged with CBIZ, Inc. in 1998 while MHM began to focus strictly on audit and attest services, and continued to acquire other independent CPA firms across the country. Even though MHM quickly became one of the Top Ten accounting firms in the nation, they recognized Kansas City as both a strategic location and strong foundation for the company, so remained in the area and established it as their national headquarters.

The Best Part of Doing Business in Kansas City: There is such a vast amount of different businesses and industries in the Kansas City area, that as a Consultant, we learn so much about how these businesses operate, what their target market is, where they can improve, etc. We can then help them by applying the services our company provides or introducing them to others that can assist.

The Benefits of Working in Kansas City: I have lived in Kansas my entire life so helping small, medium and large sized businesses locally is very rewarding.

The Economic Incentives to Living in Kansas City or the Metro Area: There are a lot of areas you can reside in Kansas City that are safe and have great schools and not have to pay a premium to live there. I think convenience is also a big factor as you can get around the city without having to wait in traffic for the most part.

Darren Bonawitz featured in Kansas City Business Journal

Friday, April 16th, 2010

I want to share this article written by David Twiddy from the Kansas City Business Journal.

Tech firms hope KC Next expands, connects industry

Building on recent efforts to showcase Kansas City’s bioscience and animal health industries, a group of business leaders is rolling out a program to spotlight the area’s information technology community.

KC Next had its debut at an April 1 networking event for the tech sector. Organizers plan similar events in coming months with no set goals or timetables other than to build up the local industry.

“We’re hoping KC Next is going to be the group that brings together technology visionaries from all aspects of the industry, and the result is the development of innovative ideas and trying to ensure that we maintain that intellectual capital in the Kansas City region,” said Darren Bonawitz, co-owner of 1102 Grand, an Internet hub and colocation facility.

How the SEC's ruling on climate change effects your data center

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Posted By: Greg Elliott

Here is an article I ran across on nplusoneit.com written by John Stanley. This particular post focuses on the SEC’s ruling on climate change.

The SEC ruling and your data center, Part 1

Posted by John Stanley

This is Part 1 of a multi-part post on the SEC’s recent ruling on climate change. This post provides a brief summary of the ruling itself. One or more subsequent posts will drill down into the possible effects on data centers.

SEC: Climate change is material to your business

In late January, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruled that public companies must disclose to investors the risks they face related to climate change. The SEC ruling does not create new rules or modify existing ones–it merely provides interpretive guidance regarding the risk disclosure rules already on the books.

The ruling describes four particular areas where climate change risks (and opportunities) may trigger disclosure requirements:

Impact of legislation and regulation – Risks may include costs to purchase allowances under a “cap and trade” scheme, cost to retrofit facilities in compliance with new standards, or reduced demand for carbon-intensive goods/services sold by the company. Interestingly, the SEC states explicitly that “a registrant should not limit its evaluation of disclosure of a proposed law only to negative consequences” (p.23). For example, there may be opportunities to profit from selling allowances, or from an increase in the demand for a company’s (low carbon) products.

International accords – Similar to the impact of domestic legislation, international accords may affect business.
