It’s officially July which means travel season for many families has kicked into high gear. With that in mind, Guy Philips jumped right into Tech Talk at the KTRS studio this week with a great question about HID key cards from hotels for SumnerOne’s IT Expert, Jeff Groby.

Longer days and warmer temperatures mean that summertime has finally arrived! As schools are wrapping up the school year and kids are looking forward to summer break, parents are more than likely trying to figure out how to keep their kids busy for the next couple of months. SumnerOne’s Technology Expert, Rion Kolosieke joined Guy Phillips and the KTRS crew to talk about STEM camps for kids.

You may have considered it when shopping for a new computer, cell phone or smart watch, but is it really worth the cost savings to purchased used technology? We joined the Guy Phillips gang at KTRS for Tech Talk last week to chat about the right way to purchase used equipment to maximize your investment. And, speaking of modern technology, even with the storm of the decade hitting the Midwest, Chadd Haselhorst, was able to call in to be Guy’s technology expert this week without having to be out and about in the blizzard conditions surrounding KTRS’ studio! Together, we cleared the air on how to know if you're buying used or new and some tips to keep in mind to be sure you're not wasting your money on a hunk of old and unusable technology.

While it may not be the most glamorous title to win, it does come with a few really great perks! For the past two months, SumnerOne has been searching the Kansas City area for “the worst” copier. In total, we heard from 28 organizations begging for the chance to not only win a brand new Canon MFP but the chance to celebrate their win by dropping their old hunk of junk from a 110 ft. tall crane at Union Station. In addition, SumnerOne will provide service and supplies for two years at no cost eliminating at least one headache for our lucky winner.

If there’s one thing we’re passionate about at SumnerOne it’s keeping our customers up and running at peak efficiency. We know printers and copiers have a bad reputation of ruining your day but there’s something to be said for having the support of a great company behind your equipment to keep the headaches at bay.

 All right…admit it. Who hasn’t wanted to go all Office Space on a misbehaving copier once or twice in their professional career? We’ve heard the desperation in peoples’ voices as they call our office begging for help with one of those rogue printers that showed up on someone’s desk and randomly decides to spew madness. So we thought we’d have a little fun with the idea and kick it up a notch in our Kansas City office while doing a bit of good for our local community with our 2nd Annual Worst Copier in KC event. Our aim was twofold: raise some serious cash for BIGGSteps for Cancer Prevention & replace KC's worst copier with a new Canon MFP valued at $10,000 plus 2 full years of copies and service at a local business in desperate need of a new copier.
