The company started selling data communications equipment. Since then, it has expanded to cities around the state, including Buffalo, Albany and Utica. Services now include enterprise networking, cybersecurity, cloud computing, collaboration technology, managed and professional services and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The ownership of the company was passed along to Annese\u2019s four daughters, making the company a woman-owned business recognized in four states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the network operations center, a team of professionals handles issues with technology in real time, according to the company. Using state-of-the-art software, the team is able to predict when problems are about to occur, and prepare for them. One notable addition is the wall-mounted displays that showcase dashboards and monitoring tools providing real-time data on the status of customer tickets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are constantly receiving metrics about our customer\u2019s problems,\u201d said Christina Nordquist, marketing and communications associate manager at Annese. \u201cWe can even see potential issues such as the weather and check if there will be issues with the power, so we can plan ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->A staffed network operations center means that the team is able to tackle technology problems quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe can remove problems before people even realize there is one,\u201d said Nordquist. The result is an integrated technology solution that is quick, efficient and effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Annese has come a long way since their foundation in 1970. Services they provide have changed to keep up with the needs of clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis network operations center lends itself to further growth,\u201d said Nordquist. \u201cIt shows our credibility to our customers. We are focused on remaining on the cutting edge of the industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Annese employs 150 people across the state. The newest location in White Plains opened on May 1. Nordquist said the company is interested in expanding operations closer to New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Annese will host its annual technology conference, SightLine, at the Albany Capital Center on<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Oct. 17 and 18. It will offer hands-on workshops aimed at providing insights into leading technologies and manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">More information can be found at www.annese.com or by calling (585) 286-2986.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annese &amp; Associates, an integrated technology solution company with locations throughout New York, recently expanded its network operations center located in Clifton Park.
