U.S. governmental agencies and much of the Fortune 500 are investigating the fallout from the recently revealed SolarWinds hack, a sophisticated malware attack that has been called a grave risk to national security.

For many businesses, growth is a desirable, yet challenging, goal to achieve. Not simply in terms of acquiring and retaining staff and customers, but also when it comes to researching and investing in the tools that support that growth. Potholes and pain points appear: To accommodate more clients, you need to invest in more powerful business applications and tools. To maintain profitability, you need both cutting-edge programs and high-quality talent – often on a shoestring budget.

COVID-19 has transformed the way that businesses and organizations operate. Instead of traveling and meeting face-to-face, more and more people are using video conferencing and video calling services. If you are looking to host a video conference or video meeting, you may be looking at different services that offer this type of service. However, before you simply select the first one that you see, it is important that you understand that not every service is the same. There are key differences between various platforms and video conferencing services. ATSI is one of the leaders in video conferencing. Here are a few of the elements that set us apart from our competitors.

The continued rise in COVID-19 cases across the country, however, has had many companies put return to office plans on hold or shifted employees back to remote work.

Small business leaders are often tasked with making critical decisions about technology with little background in the field. ATSI assists by walking business owners and leaders through the technology solutions that are available, affordable, and feasible for the scale of the organization.
