Red Level Networks was recently selected to be one of Michigan’s “premier” partners. This is tremendous news for Red Level Networks as we have been working our way up through the ranks for quite few years now. It is with great pride that I speak to this news because it means that Red Level Networks has been doing all the right things along the way. Becoming a vendors “go to partner” requires a different spread of requirements depending on the vendor. Red Level Networks made a big push in 2012 to become certified in numerous Dell technologies and now employs a large team of certified engineers in the Dell product line. These technologies include such items as Dell servers, storage, switches, firewalls, management software, wireless, thin clients, and more. We are looking forward to working with Dell in an advanced capacity going forward.

For the fourth year in a row, Red Level is honored to be nominated as one of "Metropolitan Detroit's101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For™" in Southeast Michigan. This award recognizes companies for best practices in human resources and employee benefits. This award means more than a plaque on the wall. It means that our employees are proud to work as part of the team at Red Level, providing excellent service to our clients 24/7/365. We are thankful for this recognition, and we look forward to the year to come! Have a wonderful weekend. Until next time… Lenore Brown, Marketing Assistant, Blogger Red Level Networks

So, I’ve officially upgraded to Office 2013 and I’ve got a few things I’d like to share about it. Here are 5 things I like about Office 2013: Streamlined – Items are streamlined with the new Microsoft style for a new age. The “look” is consistent with the Windows 8 tile format with less tabs and more highlighted tiles. Layout – The layout is very similar to that of Office 2010, with changes appearing stylistically rather than in functionality. Overall, it appears more clean and straightforward. Document History – When opening a program such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint with the new Office 2013, you’ll see your most recent documents listed on the left-hand side of the tiled screen and your new document options on the right-hand side. This display reduces the number of clicks to find and open previous documents. Colors – The colors are more vibrant in the ...

It’s been a long journey, but the time has arrived to officially say goodbye to Windows XP. On April 8th, 2014, Microsoft will end support for Windows XP* which means security risks and compatibility issues for your business PCs. Luckily, Windows 8 is available to solve these issues. If you’re satisfied with your PC, you can simply upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Windows 8 works across a variety of devices, including PCs, laptops, convertibles and tablets. In addition, the Windows phone with Windows 8 technology works well to update your technology. It’s entirely possible that you may need to purchase new PCs altogether. If you choose to update your technology across-the-board, you’ll minimize your effort with a Windows 8 Pro PC. I know I don’t like to be left behind, and I’m sure you don’t either! Upgrade today!
