That’s why we want to give you the chance to win a FREE Apple Watch!  Yes, you read that correctly.  We’ll be selecting a winner to be one of the first wearing the Apple Watch after its release in April.

Of course, we can’t resist gushing over this slick new piece of technology.  Apple has graced the world with many creative tech innovations and we are certain the Apple Watch will be no different.  The smartwatch will be a useful tool for on-the-go business people who need to be accessible at all times.  Here are some of our favorite features:

  • Notifications – The Apple Watch will allow users to have their alerts and notifications conveniently delivered to them, without even having to look at their phone.  When your iPhone receives a text message, email, calendar alert or reminder, the Apple Watch will buzz on your wrist.  You’ll never miss a message again.
  • Siri – Of course Apple’s famous virtual assistant will have a place on the Apple Watch.  Just say “Hey Siri” to verbally set reminders, get directions or check your calendar.
  • Apps – Unlike other smart watches, the Apple Watch will have third-party apps available for download.  Manage your social media accounts or check in for a flight, right from your wrist.

If you want to be entered to win Apple’s first ever piece of wearable technology, attend a TBL Networks Lunch and Learn to learn about our Limelight PCaaS!

 Attend our March 19th event (register here, space is limited) or contact Cameron Corbin (ccorbin@tblnetworks.com) to schedule a private consultation by March 31st!

Missed our Last Dash & Dine Business Event? Don’t Fret!

TBL Networks October Dash & Dine Event RichmondTBL Networks is holding another Dash & Dine business networking event Thursday, October 2nd!

Dash in, meet and greet with TBL Networks’ account team, mingle over a few appetizers and drinks, and dash out with dinner to go for your family (you’ll be the hero!) And just like that, in no time at all, we will be acquainted… or reacquainted!

During our time, we would like to make a quick introduction to TBL’s Limelight PCaaS — Private Cloud as a Service.

TBL’s Limelight PCaaS is priced as a monthly, per user expense. This structure allows you to plan on predictable costs to offer services as your user-base expands. You no longer need to worry about adding another user and reaching the next inflection point resulting in a costly expansion of the system. Best of all, this means that it’s an operating expense — no huge outlay of capital dollars. Instead, Limelight PCaaS offers the scalability to grow or shift priorities, giving you ultimate control over your bottom line. Finally, you can have your cake and eat it too, with your own Private Cloud as a Service.

Say that you will join us:
 Thursday, October 2
4 – 7 PM (drop by for the 30 minutes that’s best for you!)
