Alaskan Trip to visit Customers

Triple E Technologies CEO Dan Eloe and National Sales Manager Russ Morgan will be in Alaska the week of July 22 to be giving standing room only presentations to existing and future customers.  The focus is our great line of products and how it benefits their particular needs.
There has been a strong push in Alaska to up-grade many of their systems as many smaller companies are merging with larger ones.  Dan and Russ will be demonstrating the many benefits of our Pioneer Card Processor as well as our robust Point of Sale suite of products.
These Town Hall Meeting Presentations have proven to be very successful in getting key personnel and end users in one room for a “Hands on Demonstration” in the comfort of your own city.
If you have any further questions or would like the opportunity to have one of these Town Hall Presentations brought to your city, just call your Regional Sales Representative or e-mail us at sales@e3tek.com

Information and Troubleshooting Tips

Benefits of a Battery Backup System
We highly recommend installing a battery backup system at your c-store or unattended site locations. This inexpensive insurance will provide protection for your valuable computer hardware from power outages. When a computer is shut down in an instant, it can cause damage to the computer hardware, Triple E software, and could possibly cause the computer to not restart.
We sell APC brand uninterrupted power supply systems for a variety of site configurations. For your Navigator Site Controllers, Vanguard Point of Sales, and full site needs; purchase the APC BR1500G model. For Pioneer or single systems; look into buying an APC BE350G.
