How Mobile Computing can Help
Your Business
By Chris Edwards, Manager, IT Services

One of the big movements in Information Technology right now is Mobile Computing. Having access to the information you need, wherever you happen to be, can be a powerful resource tool. It allows you to focus less on how to access the information, and more on using it where you need it. Mobile Computing is more than just smartphones and tablets; it's also the unseen infrastructure that lets you access information when you are not in the office.

Helping United Way Set the Pace

The United Way of Central Indiana kicks off its annual campaign Friday, Sept. 9. But Sponsel CPA Group got an early start by being part of the Pacesetter campaign, collecting donations internally before the official start to get some momentum and build early enthusiasm. Tom Sponsel is a member of this year's United Way campaign cabinet, and will be in charge of reaching out to financial/accounting and legal firms, encouraging them to be generous in this time of great need.

The firm's involvement with the Pacesetter campaign was a great success, resulting in an increase of 24 percent over the previous year's tally donated by Sponsel CPA Group employees.

We encourage our friends and colleagues to add their support to this year's campaign.
