Vernon Technology Solutions at the Rogers Cup 2009

The Rogers Cup is the third largest Tennis Tournament in the world, third to Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. The Rogers Cup is acknowledged to be one of the best run tournaments in the world.

Vernon Technology Solutions rents and leases computer equipment and communication solutions. The advantage of renting is that the company can get the hardware they want for the exact amount of time they need and then return it.

Rentals are useful in many situations. To name a few:

• Starting up a company - to test the waters,
• Tradeshows/Conventions/Gatherings - when you need to make a big impact on people in a short amount of time,
• Big Events - that you need the latest equipment and don’t want to buy new stuff everytime.

The Rogers Cup Tennis Tournament is an example of the third. Vernon has consistently rented out equipment for the event. This year Vernon is providing several high end laptops and monitors.

The Rogers cup Men’s Tournament takes place between August 8-16 at the Uniprix Stadium in Montreal.
The Rogers cup Women’s Tournament takes place between August 15-23 at the Rexall Centre at York University in Toronto

Since last year you may have noticed the locations switched for the mens and womens tournament. (not aware of any story, but just to see who remembers.)

Make a visible impression on your audience. They may be a small room of fellow employees at a presentation, a large group of potential customers at a tradeshow, or it could be millions watching while broadcast on network television from your national event, but anyway you go, you need high quality equipment that doesn’t come with a hefty price tag.

If you have an event that you need laptops, computers, LCD monitors, Large Format display screens, printers, touch screens or any other IT equipment. Vernon Technology Solutions is here for you. With over 25 years of experience renting and leasing computer equipment, we take care to make sure your product comes to you exactly when you need it at a price you can easily afford and it is always in Grade A quality.

Game On!

Hands Across The Nation (HATN)

HATN is a non-profit organization that works in Bolivia (South America) and Mali (West Africa) to provide the local residents with basic necessities that allow individuals to live more productive lives.  HATN is completely run by volunteers with no paid employees. Every dollar that they raise or donation that is given directly benefits the people in the communities that HATN serves.

Greg Madeley is the founder and executive director of the organization. He is a dynamic individual with a passion for helping people. Every spare moment he has away from his work at Sick Kids is dedicated to Hands Across The Nation.

Mali is the poorest country in Africa with a high infant mortality rate and an average life expectancy of 45 years.  Starting in 1994 Greg and his organization have worked in a village called Mana in Mali, West Africa. With his team they have built a school and dormitories and recently they finished building a health care center that is serving 5000 people from surrounding villages. HATN is also helping to improve the health of villagers by providing clean sources of drinking water. Similar work is being done in villages in Bolivia.

Greg is very excited about the future of Hands Across The Nation. With the success of the past projects many other villages are requesting Greg’s help. He has a board of directors that helps to choose the projects that will have the greatest benefit from limited resources.

Vernon Technology Solutions became involved with HATN through the donation of computers for the doctors at the health center. The computers allow the doctors to electronically record patient information and other services that the doctors provide.

Vernon is proud to support Hands Across The Nation. You can get more information at www.hatncanada.org.

This blog is not presented to be political.

The Canadian election has concluded with another Conservative  Minority Government. The Minority is stronger after this election then it was after the previous one.  Elected seats according to CBC.ca are as follows

Conservative 143 Elected/Leading seat while the Liberals follow up next at 76 Seats

The 40th General Election took place on October 14th. Plus with the American Economy starting to calm down a little after recent craziness, we may still have a minority government but Canada is back on the move.

As discussed in Previous blogs, Vernon Technology Solutions gets very busy around election times because all sorts of politcal parties and media coverage companies all want to make the best impression on their audience.

As we come to the end of the week (today being Friday October 17th) The rented laptops, desktops, printers, projectors, and all the other equipment is making its way back. These products range all over the spectrum including the latest, high-end technology.
