Glide Computing, dedicated to Tampa Bay's Small Businesses. Minimize
 
At Glide, our focus is small business. Every product we sell, every service we offer is chosen with the unique needs of a small business in mind. We provide solutions that are easy to use, easy to manage and affordable.
 
We will speak to you as a business person and in plain English. If you are savvy enough to be successful in business you deserve better than to have someone talk to you in a language that you do not understand. We will talk to you about the business benefits, the investments and the returns you will get by using technology. We save the gigaflop, terabyte conversations for the water cooler. If you would like to learn more about our technology, we are glad to help, but we never assume you are a technologist.
We will listen to your needs and work with you to develop an appropriate solution. While we have certain vendors and products that we use regularly in many of our customers sites, we do not believe "one size fits all". Our work will be based on what your business needs, not just on what we normally sell.
You will not be pressured to sign a contract in order to get great service. Our customers do repeat business with us because they like us and we do great work, not because we have pressured them to commit to a fixed monthly fee. While some customers have recurring services they receive from us we always appreciate a customer who asks us to work with them.
 
 
Best Value for Any Small Business Minimize
 

I meet a lot of business owners who are using peer to peer networks, (computers connected via a network connection with no server), in their offices and struggling with lack of reliability and security. The first product I always want to tell them about is Microsoft Small Business Server. If you have more than 2 or 3 people in your office sharing files and resources and you are not using this product, you are leaving money on the table.

Microsoft took their Windows Server product, added the world class Exchange email server and  then built a wizard driven interface on it that allows non-technical users to manage it and packaged it up as Small Business Server. Finally, they gave it a price point that is considerably less than just the Standard Server alone. It is a product I love to sell and implement because so rarely can I provide so much value for such a low price.  

Small Business Server allows you to:

  1.  Protect your business and avoid data loss
  2. Increase network reliability
  3. View network health via daily reports
  4. Increase productivity with centralized file storage
  5. Reduce costs through printer and fax sharing
  6. Access your network, documents and emails from anywhere with just a web browser
