ABX Managing Partner:  Joseph Robert Kreuz

Work begins Monday on the new Advantage Business Exchange [ABX] headquartered at the front of the Walker Center.  We will initially be focusing on eleven key resources for presentation and sale locally and globally.  From there, ABX will build out the presentation of additional Advantage Co resources and outsourced resources.

These are the initial resources that are being discussed and vetted.  We want to start out by offering our 10 most advantageous resources for both our clients and ABX’s sales force.

1. The c1 Group.  Although c1 provides a wide array of IT services, we will be focusing our ABX sales activity on three key components:
   1. c1 Services
   2. c1 Search
   3. c1 Secure
