As you will see from Christa's article about being Member of the Month, she forgets to tell about herself.  So, I guess I just have to add a little about Christa.  Christa is such a great person to know.  She always has a smile on her face, she's always willing to help, and she enjoys her family so much.  She is a Past President of NAWBO VC.  And, this year she and Jake have graciously let the Board of Directors use their conference room for our board meetings.  Thank you so much Christa and Jake!

AXICOM, Inc. provides responsive, customer-service oriented and affordable tech support to small businesses, schools and non-profits.    We are not just the "computer guy" who shows up at your office to fix a problem until the next one crops up.  AXICOM offers  complete and ongoing solutions for businesses' computer and network needs, and every product and service is aimed to be budget-friendly.  As a first layer of protection for a business, we install firewalls and other security measures around the network.  Then, for desktops and servers we install AxiGuard, a 24x7 remote monitoring and maintenance service that constantly runs anti-virus and anti-spyware software, deletes temporary files and your Internet cache (old websites you've visited, cookies, etc.) and watches for any failing hardware components.  We have three different AxiGuard plans-Silver, Gold and Platinum.  The Silver Plan is a basic plan starting at $24.75 per PC/per month and servers at $174.75 per server/month.  An analysis of Silver plan pricing shows this to be a great value.  Gold and Platinum plans include Help Desk and on-site support for the entire network at a fixed monthly rate.   Other products that we offer include AxiVault for remote data backup,  AxiBlock for anti-spam and AxiExchange which is hosted Exchange.   In addition to providing non-intrusive and price-friendly technology solutions, AXICOM also offers monthly seminars and workshops centered on technology topics.  October will feature an Ergonomics seminar, Search Engine Optimization (SEO ) seminar, and Facebook training.   In November, we will have a Windows 7 Sneak Peek seminar on November 12. 

Christa Nonnemaker manages the administrative side of AXICOM.  She oversees payroll and HR issues for the 7 employees,  supervises the A/R and A/P, plans and implements marketing strategy, and coordinates the monthly seminars and workshops.   AXICOM was started in 1996 and serves clients in the Conejo and San Fernando Valleys.  For more information about AXICOM, visit www.AXICOM.net
