Sandhills West

The foresight to embrace new technology, paired with the dedication to thoroughly meet customers' changing needs, has been the formula for success at Sandhills Publishing for more than two decades. This deep commitment to innovation and progress was demonstrated in June 2000, as the company opened its newest facility in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Sandhills Publishing is a technology-oriented company. Internal operations use a complex network of databases to house the array of information needed to successfully serve thousands of customers daily. Recently the Internet has created the opportunity to deliver quality information in a more timely manner than was ever before possible. Without access to this technology and the services Sandhills provides, advertisers, readers, and site visitors would be unable to complete their daily business activities.

Tom Peed, founder of Sandhills Publishing, realized that if a disaster were ever to strike the main facilities, Sandhills customers would be badly hurt by the length of time it would take for system repair and recovery. The Arizona facility was a well-planned addition aimed at eliminating any downtime that a catastrophe would likely produce.

The facility serves as a redundant data center, an entire duplicate network ensuring the integrity and security of all the company's data. If there is ever a system failure at either branch, the company's Web traffic will be rerouted seamlessly to the other system. In such an instance, site visitors would never notice a break in service.

In addition to serving as backup in a time of disaster, the site also gives Sandhills Publishing room for future growth, an important component in an ever fluctuating economy. Enormous growth spikes have crippled many Internet-related businesses that were unprepared for their success. Sandhills has anticipated the future and looks confidently toward serving more customers all the time.

By creating one of the most reliable systems anywhere, Sandhills Publishing has given advertisers and site visitors a guarantee for a rich future at the forefront of the information industry.
