What a Hassle Those Computers Can Be! When we were
kids, somehow we learned just fine with paper and pencils.
Back then, somehow our parents had successful careers, us-
ing only graph paper, slide rules, and maybe an adding machine.
But now, all of us use not only an email account, but also a
smartphone, a desktop, maybe a laptop and a tablet too.
All of this IT has not only a monetary cost but also a time
cost and many risks. Sure, that new software will eventually in-
crease your employees’ productivity, but not without first consuming hours upon hours of
time as they learn to use it. Sure, those new computers will immediately increase your
speed, but is the firewall connecting them to the internet configured for optimal security?
Are you confident you haven’t accidentally left a “criminals welcome here” sign hanging in
cyberspace outside your network’s back door?
Managing Information Technology can be a complete hassle, driving up your
expenses and weighing down your productivity. But our clients instead use their
IT as a leverage— to increase profits, increase productivity and decrease stress.

“Make Your Space Beautiful” is one of the
mantras of the Lighthouse Supply team. But
it’s not just about beauty—their solutions are
also practical. Some lights literally pay for
themselves by reducing your electricity bill
more than what you pay to buy the bulbs.
Lighthouse Supply has been serving busi-
nesses in our region for over 20 years, and
they’ve recently expanded to serve homeowners
too. Check out shop.lighthousesupply.com for
all your home and business lighting needs.
