POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC--(Marketwire - April 21, 2008) - Investorideas.com and
www.TechSectorStocks.com, a
Technology Stocks Investor Portal within Investorideas.com, report on
Technology companies that enable small business owners. To be competitive
in the marketplace small business owners require services, software and
products that allow them to have access to the support and expertise of a
larger company, but at an affordable price. Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc.
(
OTCBB:
GOCH), Vocus Inc. (
NASDAQ:
VOCS), Dell Inc., HP, RCN Business
Services and others, comment on how they fill the technology gap for small
business owners.
Geeks On Call Holdings, Inc. (
OTCBB:
GOCH) has built its brand around
providing on-site service and solutions for small business owners that save
both time and money. Richard T. Cole, CEO of Geeks On Call, recently noted,
"We provide virtually every computer service that a customer could need,
from networking to upgrades, to firewall protection. The gap that we fill
best is providing organizations without the resources for an in-house IT
department, cost effective solutions that provide the same caliber of IT
services that typically would be found in a larger business. We can
actually become the small business partner and trusted adviser."

According to Bill Wagner, CMO at Vocus, Inc. (
NASDAQ:
VOCS), a company that
provides on-demand software for public relations management, "Today's PR is
becoming part of an integrated sales and marketing strategy which, when
used correctly, has the potential to drive sales and increase company
revenue. With limited budgets and resources to dedicate to PR, small
businesses face major challenges in generating publicity and reaching
potential customers. Until now, agencies, newswire services and PR
management software were all designed for companies with bigger budgets.
Vocus SBE offers small companies access to PR tools, redesigned and priced
specifically to meet their needs. Smaller organizations can now create
online news releases that are available to millions of consumers and
websites, indexed by major search engines and distributed in two targeted
daily news digests."
HP (
Market, News) recently
announced HP Upline, a new subscription service that provides consumers and
small businesses the security of knowing their digital world is protected
in a secure, offsite location in case their local PC gets lost, stolen,
damaged or destroyed. HP is offering both consumers and small business
customers a limited plan at no cost for one year.
"With increasingly more personal and business content being housed on PCs,
the easy-to-use and affordable HP Upline service protects and shares
everything from memories in digital photos to critical business documents,"
said Ulf Claesson, vice president and general manager, Personal Systems
Group, HP. "HP Upline delivers tools for a differentiated and more personal
experience from a vendor consumers and small businesses can trust."
RCN Corporation (
Market,
News), a leading provider of video, data, and voice services to
residential, small business and commercial customers, recently stated,
"Many small businesses lack IT support and the technical expertise afforded
by larger businesses," said Brad Martin, RCN Business Services Sr. Director
of Marketing and Operations. "When confronted with a technical problem, the
business owner or manager needs to become the resident expert, IT manager
and CTO. This means less time focused on running the business -- even
worse, it can mean critical systems down time that translates into
measurable loss."
"Even when a local resource is available to a small business, it often
means spending time standing in line or having a local representative on
premise to solve the problem," said RCN Business Services Senior Vice
President and General Manager John Baker. "RCN's Enhanced Care shortens
solution time and prevents service fees being charged while the problem
remains unresolved."
Dell Inc. (
Market, News), a
global leader in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, sales,
and support of computer systems and services remarks as part of their
positioning with small business, "Listening to customers and acting quickly
on their feedback to improve our products and services sets Dell apart,"
said Frank Muehleman, VP and general manager, Dell Small and Medium
Business.
The bottom line for small business owners choosing their technology service
provider or product will come down to customer service, ease of execution,
cost and ongoing support.
