Keeping IT Local
In this era of e-commerce and direct ordering, customers like you can easily purchase technology directly from large Internet retailers. The trade-off: you give up the level of personal service that only your local solution provider can deliver — and your money goes somewhere other than your own community.

It doesn’t have to be that way. When you do business with CPR, you get the best of both worlds: a technology-savvy partner who knows your name and understands your unique needs, and who supports the local businesses that contribute to your schools, libraries, charities and volunteer associations.

So whether you need a single computer system or a custom-built business solution, a local service call or a national support contract, we deliver, using products from the most respected manufacturers in the industry. And because we’re not a distant, faceless supplier you can only reach through a Web site or phone call, you can be sure you’ll receive the hands-on, local service you deserve.

CPR will continue to support our local customers, and the businesses and organizations within our community. We will continue to keep IT local.


Microsoft to Release Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2
Microsoft is going to be releasing SP2 for Exchange 2003 in the second half of 2005. The major highlights include: Mobile email improvements, better protection against spam and advanced mailbox improvements. Many customers are excited to hear about the increase in mailbox storage size limits to 75 gigabytes (GB) for Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition. This is up from the current limit of 16 GB!

If you are interested in learning more about the MS Release of Exchange Server 2003 SP2, contact the CPR Customer Support Center or your Account Manager today.

Yes, I would like to be notified when SP2 for Exchange 2003 is released.
