Progress 2019: CPU - We're progressive so you can be, too

At CPU, staying progressive and adaptive to market needs is built into our nature. For more than 40 years, we've focused on building trust with clients and providing the best products and services. We've remained at the forefront of technology as business needs continue to grow and evolve.

We offer professional-grade products and services that have a proven track record of increasing continuity, security and growth for our clients. Everything we provide doesn't just come with our friendly customer service; we are experts in our offerings because CPU relies on the same products and services to operate our own business on a day-to-day basis.

Microsoft's Office 365 Suite including Teams, Planner, OneDrive, SharePoint and OneNote (featured on page 17 of this issue) has greatly impacted the way we work. We love all the great tools that make managing big projects easy. When our team members work at our auxiliary office at the Marquette in Cape Girardeau or at our new location in Linn, Missouri, they never have to worry about having their files handy: everything they need is securely and readily available through Microsoft's Office 365 Suite, regardless of time or place.

When it comes to having everything tied together, that's one of the things we love most about our Mitel Voice System. With our smart unified communications phone system, we can connect applications, security and quality service. The phone system customizes to fit any of our needs. What we've found most helpful for our business is to have features like Meet-Me Conferencing, the ability to direct one phone line to many devices and to receive notifications from a cell phone to a work phone (or vice versa). Office mobility has become a reality.

Speaking of cell phones, we've just launched a new option available through our Payroll service, and we can't wait to try it out. Through a mobile app, employees can access the pay they've earned on a daily basis. So, no need to wait around for a paycheck -- every day can be a payday. It's just one of the many options offered within our Payroll service that we use and find extremely valuable.

If you'd like to learn more about how your business can get on board with any of these products, give us a call at (573) 334-2420. We'll work closely with you to understand your challenges and make recommendations based on what fits your needs. We're here to help you be progressive.
