ABE : Doing Our Part to Conserve Energy 15 Apr 2010, 7:00 pm

Anaheim has teamed up with property management and the City of Anaheim to make our office Energy Efficient!

As an incentive to businesses for energy efficiency, Anaheim as provided a program to retrofit inefficient light bulbs, old magnetic ballasts, and an air conditioning inspection to qualifying businesses. We were able to coordinate with our property management to fund this upgrade so that we can take advantage of this green opportunity.

The lighing upgrade has just been completed. This improvement to our office has provided nice, steady lighting, which is expected to reduce eye fatigue as well as reduce our energy bill!

Another example that ABE is doing our part to conserve energy!

Activant Trading Partner Connect Helps Above Board Electronics Transmit Error-Free Communications 6 May 2009, 7:00 pm

While technology has generally improved communication, there are still moments when confusion arises, and for Above Board Electronics (ABE), a distributor of electronic fasteners and components, a single miscommunication is one too many.

"The number of line items per transaction can be very high, so accurately transferring information to several different hands is a big challenge," explains Dantes Rosete, ABE's IT manager.
