Connare Tech: Owner’s Corner

New Years day presents a promising indication of our upcoming year:

I was one of the lucky 73,000 people to attend the NHL AMP Winter Classic, the first regular season NHL game to be played outdoors in the US. The game was the largest crowd ever for a NHL game and the day could not have been more perfect for the event (a bit of a surprise considering Buffalo’s unpredictable weather).

While the Sabres hosted, there were numerous Penguins fans in attendance. Having a mix of fans, a temperature that wasn’t blistering cold, and steady snow fall, made the experience all the more enjoyable.Despite the loss it was truly a memorable and amazing way to start the New Year.

Before 2008 blows us away, let’s take a brief look at the events of 2007. While updates to ConnareTech.com have been sparse and all appears quiet, nothing could be further from the truth.

As many have noticed there are a few more names on the “About Us” page. Yes, it is true, I did some hiring. We are involved with a few really neat projects which our small team could no longer manage and develop alone. Connare Tech is now officially registered as an employer within NYS. We began hiring at the beginning of the summer of ‘06 and the hiring spree will continue over the next month or two. If you are interested in working for us, keep checking connaretech.com for details.

ConnareTech.com was redesigned a few months ago and earlier last week we updated our client services, blogs, and infrastructural software which powers the site. Over the next week or so you will see a massive content adjustment to the site. The layout of Connaretech.com has been reorganized – it is much cleaner, easier to read, and easier to navigate. This adjustment will reflect all of the changes that the company is going through and will help users gain a better understanding of what it is that we do and all that we have to offer.

Over the past few months Connare Tech has made some strategic partnerships that are allowing the business to grow endlessly. The projects that we continue to find ourselves involved with come from interesting people with excellent ideas. It has been a great pleasure of mine to work with all of these different people and help bring their ideas to reality.

Potential grows with technology and engineering. Even in just the past year a number of different technologies have matured allowing us to revamp and expand. This includes redesign interfaces, making the user experience just more user friendly and lowering the learning curve for the products that we are developing. The past few months have been unbelievable.

What else can I say that you cannot experience for yourself – look around our site and take weight of all the progressive movement. All of the pieces are fitting together and the progress is more evident than ever. If that was 2007, I say bring on 2008! If the enjoyment, excitement, and energy of New Years Day are any indication of what is to come, 2008, I can’t wait; it is going to be an amazing year!
