Internet-in-a-box, Band-in-a-box, Arcade-in-a-box, Tree-in-a-box… it seems that nowadays if you want to sell something, it better be “in-a-box”.

We recently ordered a new HVAC unit for our data center.

For those who are not familiar with the term, it’s basically a “heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning” unit.

The unit was delivered (in a box) and was professionally installed.

Everything was working very well and we were very pleased with the purchase.

Then one day, we noticed a small glare of light coming out from the unit.

Being curious geeks, we decided to open up the front panel, and there we saw an HVAC technician, welding.

Mucho kudos to the company who sold us the unit.

Think about it, take an average-sized technician, then take the area of the entrance/opening of the HVAC unit.

How did the technician get in? Tech-in-a-box, literally.

The HVAC tech has successfully demonstrated to us tech support at its best - being there, whenever and wherever needed.

This guy is now our “inspiration-of-the-month”, and we will most definitely be ordering more HVAC units and other equipment from this company.

Nowadays, every company keeps a blog, whether as a marketing communication tool or a record of the company’s growth.

We have to admit that blogs are powerful conversation enablers.

It allows the company to say what it needs to, hear what’s being said, and if necessary, speak up with a correction to a mass audience.

Blog is a tool. An asset. A very important one, and today, we decided to start the 1158pm.com Blog.

The 1158pm.com Blog will be a collaboration of the many individual soapboxes at 1158pm.com.

We will use it as an avenue to discuss:

• Upcoming plans and goals
• New services
• Cool tricks
• Tips and solutions
• Random geekery

This way, you can get to know all of us technology geeks behind 1158pm.com a little bit more.

We also want to use this blog as a means to get to know all of you more.

A place where you can share with us your insight, feedback and suggestions.

A place for us to listen and learn about your needs.

So, it all starts here. Our company, your website, let’s take it to the next step, together.

Now, let’s start blogging!
