| Letter from the
CEO
Greetings and Happy Spring from all of us at Reside!
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the newest format
of Reside’s quarterly e-newsletter. This updated model
provides you with a wider assortment of
technology-focused information, geared toward helping
you advance your business. We hope you enjoy our
e-newsletter, and pass it on to friends and colleagues!
Besides improving our newsletter, we have been busy
with other exciting projects at Reside! Our first
quarter was spent serving our customers, implementing
new marketing tactics, and building new client and
partner relationships. Some of the projects we’ve been
working on include Sales Force Automation,
database-driven web sites, and as always - great design.
You can see samples of our latest projects by visiting
our online
portfolio.
Thanks to all of you for making our first quarter
great! We look forward to continuing to serve your
technology management and implementation needs.
Cheerz,
Matt Meents

Mine Your Own Business!
By
Jennifer Zick, President
We’re all in pursuit of the next big break, the hot
lead, the killer contract: But look out! The deal
