2007 was a busy and exciting year for Polar Systems Managed Network Services (now PolarStar Network Services) team. We were able to double in size while also being recognized as one of the Top 100 Managed Service Providers in the world by the leading independent media outlet in our industry. Although the recognition is nice, we are focused on continuing to develop and improve the quality of the managed services that we provide. 
Terry Colton is a Senior Applications Consultant at Polar Systems. Terry explains her role at Polar this way: “One facet of the Polar business is that we sell, install and train our clients on business applications. The majority of those are accounting systems for both profit and non-profit businesses. I also do some database design and some custom programming of applications that work in conjunction with accounting software.”
How many of you have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan designed to minimize the effects on your business if a server fails? If your building floods or burns down? How about if your city experiences some sort of natural disaster? Think a disaster recovery plan is not important, or don’t have the time or resources to devote to developing one? Recent events in New Orleans suggest being prepared is vitally important.
