Donations to Free Geek

Over the last couple of months, Insivia has been collecting various old hardware to donate to the organization know as Free Geek. With our recent move, we were able to give away many of our replaced computers, monitors and other equipment to this great organization.

Why donate old hardware? Well, first off it is much safer for the environment since many computers and monitors will produce hazardous waste if thrown away. Second, it offers a way for people who may not be able to afford new computers a chance to buy what they need at thrift stores.

We'd like to thank everyone who has helped us donate to this organization and encourage others to donate their old hardware as well.

Insivia in the News

The end of 2007 and beginning of 2008 meant numerous mentions of Insivia and our presence in the city of Cleveland.

We're proud to say that you can find Insivia in a special piece in Inside Business magazine where CEO Andy Halko is nominated for the Top 25 under 35 Movers and Shakers award. This prestigious award is awarded to Cleveland's young entrepreneurs and leaders by the 20/30 Club. Winners will be announced January 31. Read more about the nomination here.

Look for Andy Halko's insights into the relationship between marketing and technology in "Make More Money in '08... with These 5 Technology Essentials" in January's edition of COSE Update.

You can find our name in the Parma Sun Post. In the November 29 article about volunteer involvement in the Parma business development and image committee, Andy is mentioned as a member and credited as "the genius behind Insivia, the downtown-based communications company which is the driving force behind the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce's Web site." The day before, the Cleveland Plain Dealer mentioned Insivia as part of the growing presence of tech firms in the Midtown area in its November 28 edition.

So go ahead. Read what fresh ideas Insivia is stirring up in the Cleveland, and be on the lookout for what we'll be doing next.

COSE Spotlight

On October 22nd at 8:30 AM, Andy Halko, CEO, and Eric Purcell, Products and Partnerships Advisor, met with the comical duo of Lanigan and Malone for a live interview at the Majic station of 105.7FM.

The interview was entertaining, fun, and informative for WMJI listeners as Andy and Eric challenged the veteran Cleveland broadcasters to a guessing game of the pretty "smooth" name of Insivia and exactly what our services are and discussed how Insivia improves communication in business.

Insivia was invited to be on WMJI in the COSE Spotlight, a special feature where one of the 16,000 members of COSE is selected to join in the radio show to showcase its offerings.

To learn more about how Insivia can improve communication for your business through strategic software and design, get in touch. To see how we've done it before, check out our portfolio page.

2007 at a Glance

Insivia software and design was on the move in 2007 working with challenging projects and developing marketing and software problem solutions for businesses throughout the Midwest. To highlight the past year, the selected cases are from a wide variety of clients searching for our assistance in multiple industries.

Anderson|Biro

One focal point from 2007 is the project designed to aid Anderson/Biro, a retained recruiting firm located in Cleveland. They sought out Insivia for a complete design solution ranging from identity to website. At the conclusion of the task Insivia had effectively created for Anderson/Biro a cohesive brand that reflected the company's image and appealed to its audience of real estate financial services professionals.

COSE Mindspring

COSE also requested Insivia's services to realize COSE Mindspring, a fresh way for small business owners to learn, connect, and contribute knowledge with their peers. Aside from building and designing the platform itself, Insivia worked with COSE to promote COSE Mindspring by designing materials ranging from printed pieces to a Flash presentation and even conceptualizing a trade show banner. Insivia sees this particular project as one of the largest of the year and one of the most gratifying. The CEO of Insivia, Andy Halko, commented that "COSE Mindspring was really a flagship process for us. We were able to realize a full breadth of our capabilities… while working on a quality destination… for a large audience of near 17,000 including the greater region of Ohio."

Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce

The Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce also called upon Insivia to help fulfill its vision of enriching the Hartland, Michigan area. The objective was to encourage business advancement and establishment in the community.

Hartland now uses software developed by Insivia especially for membership-based organizations to update the way the Chamber operates. Along with the powerful software environment, Insivia produced a user-friendly site and new look that was both progressive and welcoming. Insivia also worked to develop a new logo that reflected the region's new growth as well as its agricultural roots.

Overall, 2007 proved to be productive and infused with growth for Insivia. To read more about what Insivia has done for these companies, visit our portfolio. Discover how Insivia can help you build a great online destination and drive people to it.

25 Under 35 Nomination

Insivia's creator, and CEO, Andy Halko, has been nominated for the 25 under 35 Movers and Shakers award given by Cleveland's 20/30 club. This honor is awarded to the top Northeast Ohio young professionals who are committed to their career and to the community.

Andy is a member of the club, a non-profit organization created to attract and retain young professionals in the region. The club provides events that focus on personal and professional development, working as a forum for young professionals to build relationships with others in the Cleveland community. The Club provides these development opportunities through four core values: networking, education, philanthropy, and social.

Andy recognizes the club's commitment to these values and applauds its contribution to the community and to his professional development. Andy commented that these core values contributed to Insivia's development, and encouraged his involvement in local events - all while providing ways to develop as a professional in the city and simply allowing him to meet remarkable young professionals from the area.

After hearing about his nomination for the 25 under 35 award, Andy said it felt "great to be a part of this group of people and to be among them is a great satisfaction."

The awards ceremony will take place on January 31^st, 2008 at the Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center. Best of luck to you, Andy!

Is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) a viable solution?

Forward Thinking: Insivia in 2008

Insivia is preparing for a productive year, continuing with plans of growing partnerships and synergies throughout the Midwest. 2008 will bring new opportunities in software and design, community involvement, and professional education as Insivia grows in the industry and in the community.

In 2008, look forward to seeing the launching of new sites, designs and other creative technologies for clients such as Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, Beginning with Books Center for Early Literacy, Epicenter Development Group, MVP Valet, NESCO Administration, Parkhurst Mica Dining, and many more.

Outside of clientele Insivia plans to build greater connections throughout the region as a visible community contributor. We will begin by hosting Midtown Brews on February 7, helping to encourage discussion and new ideas on energy and sustainability in the Cleveland area. We also plan to continue contributing our volunteer efforts with groups such as the Downtown Cleveland Alliance. Also, Insivia will seek continued involvement in chambers of commerce, with Andy Halko serving as a board member to the Parma Area Chamber of Commerce for the term beginning January 2008.

To do our part in broadening the professional development opportunities in the area, Insivia will also be present at the COSE Tech Fair on Thursday, March 6, where Andy Halko will lead and contribute to discussion, adding his expertise in software programming and in being an entrepreneur in the business technology world. Andy can also be spotted teaching as a part of the E-Marketing Technology series at the Corporate College on March 14th. Jordon Mears, Chief Information Officer, will be one of the online editors for COSE Mindspring. As always, we plan to focus on how people can use innovative software and design strategies to improve their businesses.

As a result, Insivia is a rapidly growing business and has set standards to grow the business exponentially. We look forward to expansions that will double the company in size, which will in turn make cause for the need of a new and larger space downtown. Insivia will be searching to hire technologically-minded people for custom software application development along with designers to aid the existing marketing team.

Overall, Insivia's predicted forecast for 2008 will be concerned with the continued pursuit of improvement and results, expanding ability to provide valued solutions, and increasing value as a result of improved processes.

Learn how you can join the team.
