PowerUp!

In a world that values sports and under funds the arts, PowerServe has supported the North Augusta Cultural Arts Council (NACAC) since 2006. In 2007, Jeff Partl joined the Board of Directors and PowerServe donated a web site design, tri-fold brochure and financially contributed to the Special Arts Project in the area schools.

In 2008, Jeff Partl was elected Vice President of the NACAC Board of Directors and PowerServe became a Title Sponsor. Our contributions include:

• Sponsoring the 2008 Fine Arts Scholarship
• Designing and printing the Artisan, NACAC quarterly newsletter
• Sponsoring a Special Arts Project in one of the area schools

We consider it a responsibility and a privilege to be able to support organizations that are making our community a better place to live. To learn more about the council, please visit www.NAArtsCouncil.org

Villa Europa, a long-time customer of PowerServe, was featured in today’s Augusta Chronicle:

Cooking up Family Tradition by LaTina Emerson, Staff Writer – Augusta Chronicle

They’re affectionately known as “Omi” and “Aunt Pat” to their loyal customers and employees — and they’re like family to many people in the Augusta area.

Mother-daughter team Anneliese Schaffer-Neises and Patricia “Pat” Schaffer have found their way into the hearts — and stomachs — of the community through their family-owned restaurant, Villa Europa on Deans Bridge Road, which they’ve co-owned for 19 years.

For Immediate Release – On March 1, 2008, PowerServe, a web design and software development company based in Augusta, announced the acquisition of over one hundred 7th Street Media web clients from Morris Communications. Although the majority of the clients are local small businesses, they also include clients throughout the United States.

These clients can expect to benefit from PowerServe’s full range of services: timely support, award winning graphic design, and superior technology solutions, which include content management, e-commerce, real estate solutions, and custom web development.

Since restructuring and refocusing the company in 2003, PowerServe has grown in many ways. The company has over 350 satisfied customers being served by 15 experienced analysts, graphic designers and programmers.

“The deal makes sense for both companies and our clients. We were looking to grow the web design and hosting aspect of our business and Morris Communication had already decided to phase out 7th Street Media”, said Jeff Partl, PowerServe’s President. “The clients will now be working with a provider that has more resources to help them grow their business.”

Since 1998, PowerServe has worked with clients to identify opportunities where our services can make real and measurable gains in the bottom line of their businesses.

We’d like to welcome a new member to the PowerServe family! Stephanie Dunn, one of our support specialists, gave birth to a healthy baby boy yesterday. We’re very happy for her and her husband, Brad, on the birth of their first child.

We’re excited to announce that on March 1, 2008, PowerServe completed its acquisition of the web hosting and web design clients of 7th Street Media.  These customers will join over 250 satisfied customers that receive timely support, award-winning graphic design and superior technology solutions from a provider that’s served the Augusta area for 10 years.

What does this change mean to 7th Street customers?

• Better Support – Support requests made during regular business hours are typically taken care of within 24 hours of receipt.
• Better Service – We’re locally owned and dedicated to taking care of our customers. All of our associates are available via phone or email to take care of your needs.
• Better Solutions – PowerServe offers a wide variety of technology solutions – from e-commerce storefronts, content management solutions, real estate solutions and more.

We’re committed to making this handover go as smoothly as possible. There will be no interruptions in service. Email and Hosting accounts will remain the same. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding these changes, don’t hesitate to contact your new Account Manager, Dylan Bredengerd, at (706) 826-1506 ext. 122 or via email at dylan@powerserve.net.Welcome to PowerServe!
