LETTER TO THE READER
Taking the Lead in Today’s Marketplace WELCOME TO THE SPRING 2014 EDITION OF SOLVE MAGAZINE! In this issue, you’ll find solutions and ideas from exceptional business leaders who, like you, are coping with the challenges of today’s rapidly evolving business climate. To thrive now and in the future, working faster will be critical. Can your business become more efficient, more nimble, and more prepared to jump on new opportunities? Absolutely. In the “Speed of Success” special section, starting on page 12, you’ll hear from some of the smartest thinkers in the marketplace about the joy of “failing fast,” blowing up bottlenecks, and bringing your team up to speed. As your company meets the future, you’ll want your technology and applications to be the best tools possible for collaboration and achievement. Often, the fastest route to that result is a cloud-based solution. In our article “Road Map to the Cloud” (pages 10-11), you’ll get insight into why forward-thinking companies like AAA Western and Central New York are making the decision to save time and money by moving to hardware and software solutions that are hosted on and delivered over the Internet. Of course, none of these ideas for speeding up your company works without an excellent technology infrastructure—one that lets employees communicate clearly and access data without delays. That’s where Time Warner Cable Business Class comes in. We have grown to serve more than 600,000 business customers by understanding that, in order to compete, businesses must constantly adapt and change. We enable success by providing advanced telecommunications services over a state-of-the-art, and growing, fiber-rich network.
