“Why ATEL?” Steven Handelman, ATEL President Responds

Posted on: March 11th, 2010 by ATEL

Let ATEL's President Steven Handelman answer your hardest questions first.

"Why ATEL?"

There's alot of companies that say they can help you with your phones, computers and technology but you want to know,

"What makes ATEL different?"

In short, at ATEL, we don't sell you what we have to sell, we share with you all your options for fixing or addressing your challenges. Sometimes you don't need to put out any money at all. Sometimes you can do something that will actually lower your monthly expenses.

At ATEL, we DON'T SELL, we SHARE INFORMATION about all your possible solutions.

ATEL Tour: We Watch Over Your Phones, Computers and Technology

Posted on: March 11th, 2010 by ATEL

When you reach for the phone or send an email to the folks that supply, maintain or fix your phones, computers, networks or other business technology, do you ever wonder about the people you're counting on to keep your business technology running?

Do the people you count on work out of their home or their car? How "deep is their bench"? If the person or tech you normally work with is no longer available, does the company you count on have your "corporate knowledge" securely "backed up" such that you're not just counting on a single person but a whole company is "looking out for you"?

That's what you get with ATEL. But better than tell you – we'd like to show you. Click the video below to see a video tour of the ATEL corporate office in San Diego. These are the people and the facility at the other end of the phone call or email. We're the people you're counting on. We've been here for 25 years and we'll be here for at least another 25 year. Keep counting on us!

Meet The People Who (Invisibly) Love to Keep Your Computers Working

Posted on: March 11th, 2010 by ATEL

Computers are great – especially when you never have to think about them. And it's not your job to think about them, right? Your job, as a business owner or manager, is to do what you do best – for your customers. (And when you're business is frozen because you're fixing your own computers you're not helping your own customers with what they pay you for, right?)

So how can you make that happen? How can you engage an invisible army to keep your computers, computer networks and critical business applications all working – all the time?

Who are the people that make this work behind the scenes?

Glad you asked! ATEL is pleased to introduce you to the invisible work force working in our network operations center or "NOC" who love nothing more than to spend their day thinking of ten more things they can do to ensure your computer network does not break down next week, at the worst possible moment for your business.
