We have talked about consolidating our individual clients for some time into one business. Being good friends, we have all worked together for as long as we can remember, building off each others' strengths and experience. But, now we have made it official!<br /> <br /> We determined that together we are stronger than working independently. Sounds like it would make a good object lesson, doesn't it? Anyway, we decided we finally had the business models in place and created one central repository for our individual efforts.<br /> <br /> Where did we get our name? Well, to be perfectly honest, it has gotten really difficult these days to come up with a name that isn't thirty characters long. We spent weeks agonizing over names only to find out that practically every Greek, hero, fantasy, etc., name was already registered. Then, we started talking about what defines our individual businesses and then it became obvious -- "Core Value!" With a little more work and more searching the registrars, we decided upon Valcora, "Value at the Core!" This has been our quasi-motto for years. We want our clients to see that we add value to everything they do and we take that to the core of their business!<br /> <br /> Will we make it together? I sure hope so! At least, we have made it many years cooperating with one another in business and expect we will only grow larger as a real team! Our DBAs have worked for some of the large companies gaining real-world production experience. We are used to living on-call 24x7x365 and working remotely. What has changed? <br /> <br /> Not much really, excpet we have a name! That is about all. Our existing clients will continue to receive the same great service we have always strived to provide independently, except now we can offer even more!<br /> <br /> Keep an eye out for us. Maybe we can help your business as well! Mon, 04 May 2009 14:17:51 -0600 http://blog.valcora.com/index.php?/archives/8-guid.html
