AMRCON Serves Up News Via RSS and FeedBurner

AMRCON is embracing new ways to deliver pertinent information to customers. This post describes RSS and why this delivery method will be beneficial to you.

Photo 13Hi all!  My name is Mariano DiFabio, and Dee asked me to write the first guest post for his new blog newsletter.  I was honored to do so.

I’ve been working with Dee now for about a year as part of the web development group, and he’s not only got a great team working with him, he knows how to effectively use his team to solve his customer’s problems.  I’m happy I’m able to be a part of that.

What to write?

Today I’m writing to you about how you can subscribe to this new newsletter for AMRCON.  It runs on an RSS feed that we’re tracking through Feedburner.

Now, before you go running in the other direction because I’m throwing tech jargon at you, don’t worry; this stuff isn’t hard to understand.

RSS

RSS is simply short for “Really Simple Syndication,” a standardized web feed format that is produced by regularly updated web sites such as blogs, and read by RSS readers, which could be integrated into your own email client.  The feeds follow a certain set of rules in the way they’re constructed so that they can be universally interpreted by any feed reader and then displayed in the way you prefer.  This site generates a few of these feeds, the most specific of which are the newsletter articles you’re reading today.

Feedburner

Feedburner is a service provided by Google which allows web site owners to track and more easily manage their feeds.  It also integrates automated email alerts.  Let’s say, for example, you have no idea what a feed reader is but you still want to be alerted whenever the content on the site changes.  Feedburner gives us some code that allows us to display the “Subscription” box you see above on the top right side of the screen.  Entering your email address there will allow us to send you an email whenever our site is updated.

So what are you waiting for?

I know Dee is really excited to be providing some quality content for his customers, and you should be too!  If you are ready to subscribe and you have an RSS reader, click on the “Feed” link from the main navigation menu.  If you want a more traditional delivery method, enter your email on the top right of the page and click “subscribe” (a new window will open asking you to verify that you’re sure you want to subscribe).  Regardless of what you choose, it’s never been so easy to get all your managed services and technical support information from one source: AMRCON.

Testimonial

"AMRCON has helped us to implement and update all our current technology. They have found ways to run our Information Technology at a much faster and more cost-effective way than previous managed services firms. In the financial services industry, everything is computer-based, so IT is a critical part of what we do on a daily basis to accommodate our customers and keep them happy. With AMRCON, we have had no downtime."

- Evey Stanziale, Owner, SCS Commodities

"AMRCON supports ten windows-based services for Proctor and Gamble’s Fragrance Division. I am completely impressed with AMRCON’s knowledge and ability to monitor the things that are important. We’ve been working with AMRCON for nearly two years, and in that time AMRCON resolved a rampant virus that attacked our servers. They were able to patch the servers and stabilize our network, all without coming on-site. AMRCON has also saved P&G added expense by using their out-of-the-box strategic solutions to various network problems. They always go above and beyond to make sure our systems are running properly."

- Tim McGilloway, IT Manager, Proctor and Gamble

"I first met Dee about five years ago when a friend referred him to help solve our many network problems. Back then, we used to have crashes and various computer disasters every couple of months. But as an attorney it is imperative that I have constant access to my clients’ files. Dee came in, fixed the problems, and since then AMRCON has managed absolutely all of my company’s IT needs. The best part is we haven’t crashed once since AMRCON has been on the job."

Peter Zipp, Zipp and Tannenbaum

"AMRCON makes certain that everything is working for my small business. I rely on their constant support and their back-up services. They also link everything together for me – the desktops in my offices and my home, BlackBerry, even my computer in Florida. I can go to one location and pick up where I left off. With AMRCON, their technology has given me the advantage of being able to complete with firms larger than mine."
