COMNEXIA^® Corporation Saves Local Customer Time, Money and Resources with Virtual Private Network Solution

MARIETTA, GA – (December 1, 2004) --- Michael McCreary, owner of McCreary Realty based in Marietta, GA, credits COMNEXIA^® Corporation, a leading IT network and Internet services provider, with saving him tens of thousands of dollars following the implementation of a VPN -- virtual private network -- solution for his growing real estate and property management company.

Having worked with COMNEXIA as his 'outsourced dedicated IT department' for more than nine years, McCreary recently called on his technical rep for some advice. McCreary already assumed that he would have to add on to his existing retail space for new back-end employees who are growing the management services part of the business, until he spoke to his COMNEXIA rep who offered a Virtual Private Network – or VPN - as an alternative.

"I just assumed I would have to expand physically," explains McCreary, "Then my dedicated technician with COMNEXIA walks in and tells me more about the benefits of VPNs and sets up C-Beyond for our team. Now we communicate and share data as if we are down the hall from each other, not four miles away in another property of ours."

McCreary estimates that this remote technical networking solution saved him between $50,000 and $75,000 in bricks and mortar expansion for his growing business while providing his company and his employees with better and faster computer services. "It was almost like a 'Homer Simpson' moment," he admits, "I was amazed at this simple VPN solution I had never thought of, thank goodness COMNEXIA does that thinking for me."
