I started with SumnerOne in 2006. It was a different world of technology at that time. The technology advances that we had were moving into affordable color copying in an office. Its crazy to think that at that time, a color print cost $.15 and black and white prints were $.013. And that was considered a bargain! Since then, the world of office technology has moved past printers and copiers and further into the realm of the digital age. In my experience, I can tell you that one thing is certain: technology is constantly changing and if you want to stay relevant, you better be changing with technology. I can assure you that if my sole expertise was telling you what printer fit your business, I'd have a lot of spare time on my hands. So how has SumnerOne evolved into more than just a printer and copier dealer? Let me tell you how we've done it:

Last week on Tech Talk presented by SumnerOne, our lead engineer, Jeff Groby joined Guy Phillips and Julie Buck to talk about online scams. Julie was even so kind to welcome Jeff to KTRS with a fun saying from her many years on the radio, "Don't be nervous. Don't be rocky. You're our special guest disc jockey!" All joking aside, Jeff had a very serious topic to address: What are some different types of scams circulating and what part you can play in ensuring that they are unsuccessful.

SumnerOne is excited to bring Drake Systems, a strong, local company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma into our family of companies. Drake Systems has a well-known reputation in the Tulsa market for maintaining high standards of loyalty, fairness, and forthrightness.

 Don't worry, here is your weekly dosage of Tech Talk on KTRS just in case you missed us last week! As a reminder, Tech Talk presented by SumnerOne airs on Friday afternoons at 4:20 on The Big 550 KTRS!

March 31st is World Backup Day. This annual event was created to raise awareness about data preservation and backups. Even though this may be the day before April Fools, not backing up your data isn’t something to joke about.

Last week on Tech Talk, our IT expert, went into detail about the importance of password management. Steve even gave a few suggestions on free websites people can use to manage their multiple passwords. Let’s be honest, we’re all guilty of having to use that “Forgot Password” option. 

What is VoIP? The word is definitely fun to say, but what exactly does it mean for you and your business? VoIP is a term that refers to Voice over Internet Protocol. Still, what does that mean? This virtual phone system is also known as internet telephony, it converts voice vibrations to compressed digital signals that translate to internet protocol (IP) packets. These IP packets are then transmitted and converted into a regular telephone signal. In essence, it allows computer users and businesses to make telephone calls from a desktop computer or other connected devices that are equipped with VoIP technology. This is a valuable tool for businesses, but the other features and bonuses attached to switching to VoIP technology make the choice a no-brainer.
