We are still sifting through the resumes we received fro our Journal Star advertisement for a full time technician. It is always a challenge to find the right person for the job. We have interviewed three candidates who just weren’t our kind of material. If you know a computer technician who wants to work for […]

I wanted to post something here to tell my regular readers that I have not abandoned you! We have had such a surge in demand for our on-site service that I have been filling in personally to pick up the slack. After working a 14 hour day, sometimes I just don’t have it in me […]

I am sorry I have not posted in a couple days. When it rains it pours, and our launch event just happened to coordinate with a spike in our corporate and computer repair business. Not that I am complaining about being busy – you won’t ever hear that from me. But when you couple 19 […]

Today I was contacted by the Midlands Business Journal to comment on a story regarding the implementation of networks in small business offices. I was impressed that the interviewer wanted to explore the good and the evil of business networks. All to often business owners assume that having a network is better then not having […]

I had the opportunity to attend last Tuesday’s LIBA lunch, and boy am I glad I did. There was a lively debate between Jeff Fortenberry and his Democratic opponent. As far as debates go, it was fairly informative and there were just enough political jabs going back and forth to make it entertaining.

But I have to say the best part of the event was when I had the opportunity to award a brand new notebook computer to Paige from Strictly Business Magazine. Paige recruited 19 new members for LIBA’s membership drive, besting all others in the effort.

What is a Modular Computer?

For almost 2 years customers have mentioned that our Service Center is difficult to find the first time around. We have wanted a larger sign for some time, however the covenant in our business park heavily restricts what signs may and may not be posted on the office building.

After 4 months of negotiations, design submissions, and design revisions, we finally have a prominent sign that will help our customers easily locate Schrock Innovations. The new sign features channel cut letters mounted on aluminum rails. The rails will reduce the number of holes we will need to drill in the building facade to achieve a secure mount.

There will also be an SI logo that will be back-lit at night by embedded LED lights. The light should be soft and gentle so as not to disrupt the homes that face our office to the south at night. We are also posting an updated door logo and are replacing our old, handwritten hours sign with vinyl lettering.

Similar changes are also being implemented for our Omaha Service Center (although that location is much easier to find than our Lincoln Service Center).

The sign is being installed as I write this and as soon as the installation is complete, I will post pictures for here, and on the Schrock Innovations contact page.
