Des Plaines Office Equipment and Affiliate Companies Re-Brand under Name Pulse Technology

A well-known Greater Chicago business, Des Plaines Office Equipment and its northern Indiana affiliates, Kramer & Leonard McShane's, will soon operate under a new common name, Pulse Technology (http://pulsetechnology.com).

All of the locations will officially change to Pulse Technology effective January 1, 2019. The transition follows a re-branding effort undertaken at the direction of the company owners. There is no change in the ownership or management of the companies.

Read this here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/school-bus-safety-company-inc-announces.html

For Chip Miceli and his brother Victor, second-generation owners of Des Plaines Office Equipment, a business their father started in 1955, the last few years have been eventful in the evolution and growth of their company. Fresh off a string of acquisitions of local, smaller Chicago-area competitors, the company began to look at expanding both its offerings and its geographic footprint – and in the process undertook a re-branding exercise to select a name and tagline that better reflects the growing company's mission.

Having made a significant investment into the area of Managed Services (IT), Des Plaines Office Equipment then invested in two Northern Indiana businesses, McShane's, and Kramer & Leonard, and then implemented a merger of these two entities. The resulting merger and incorporation of the new Indiana businesses under the DPOE umbrella expanded the growing company's offerings. The Indiana businesses added office products, facility, break room and safety supplies, as well as office furniture (and office design) to the menu of services. Conversely, these two established Indiana businesses could then offer Managed Print Services and Managed Network (IT) to its established customer base. Be alert to read related news.

In the midst of this activity, the firm's owners went about the business of buying and opening a new corporate headquarters building, located in Carol Stream, IL, to replace their previous headquarters in Elk Grove Village that was severely damaged by a microburst several years ago.

Already established as a national leader in the field of Managed Print Services (MPS), where Chip Miceli speaks before associations, leads discussion groups at trade meetings and mentors colleagues across the country, DPOE has expanded its core competencies to include Managed Network (IT) throughout the Chicago area.

As the firm added the new companies and new offerings, they saw their employee count jump to 120 and their annual sales hit $29 million – an impressive increase that also caught the attention of Inc. Magazine, who named the company to its Inc. 5000 list of the United States' fastest-growing companies. DPOE has won a number of industry awards, including Elite Dealer, Hyakuman Kai, and their President, Chip Miceli, was named a "Difference Maker" by the national ENX Magazine. Simultaneously, McShane's has been named best "Office Equipment and Supply" company 12 years in a row in the "Northwest Indiana Business Quarterly" magazine. More recently, DPOE once again claimed the coveted award "Elite Dealer" from ENX for 2018, as did Kramer & Leonard McShane's.

Going through the acquisition and merger process, it occurred to the Miceli family that a name which better reflected the expanded technology and service offerings would be appropriate. With that, they set about the process of selecting a new name. Chip Miceli said, "We created a committee which was comprised of representatives of each of the companies, and had them collaborate on a new name. After a long process, lots of discussion and lots of creativity, our team came up with the name Pulse, which means moving with strong, regular beats, and to be filled with activity and feeling. We think the name reflects our expanding scope of technology and activity."

The Carol Stream, Chicago and Rockford, IL locations will be under the Pulse umbrella as will the Indiana locations.

As the firm begins the migration of individual names to the Pulse brand, the first phase was that each company name – DPOE and Kramer & Leonard McShane's – adds "a Pulse company" to its brand. Miceli said that as the name changes to Pulse, a website, pulsetechnology.com will serve as the main URL. "We like the tagline that our team came up with, which is 'Kickstart the heart of your business,'" he said.

About Kramer & Leonard McShane's
Kramer & Leonard McShane's is a Northern Indiana/suburban Chicago firm providing office furniture, office equipment, and services including Managed Network (IT). With a combined history dating to 1921, it is the merger of McShanes, and Kramer & Leonard. The firm maintains its office in Chesterton, IN (312 Roberts Road). Brian McShane serves as Chief Executive Officer and Greg Fox as President. The firm is part of the Des Plaines Office Equipment (http://dpoe.com) family of businesses. Chip Miceli serves as Chairman.

Survey: Americans Believe Legal Fees are Extremely Expensive, Wish There Were Alternatives to Traditional Lawyers

Results from a new survey conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of Your Lawyers Online show there is nearly universal agreement among Americans that legal fees today are extremely expensive, with over 9 in 10 (91 percent) agreeing, and they wish there were alternatives to traditional lawyers when dealing with small legal matters (82 percent). More than two-thirds (69 percent) of American adults say they would be willing to use online legal services if it would save them money. Younger adults (76% of those age 18-54 vs. 65% of those age 55+), those who have lower household incomes (72% of those with total household income of less than $100k vs. 62% of those with $100k or more), and are parents (78% of those who are parents of children under 18 vs. 66% who are not) are more likely to say this.

The survey findings highlight the relevance of virtual law firms such as Your Lawyers Online, which replace traditional "fee-for-time" models with "fee-for-service" solutions that offer unbundled legal services to save users time and money—especially on small legal matters like reviewing legal documents or establishing a will.

"I really think virtual law firms like Your Lawyers Online represent the future of law in a digital age where Americans are seeking efficiency and value over cumbersome and costly traditions," says Your Lawyers Online Founder & CEO Nicole Schaefer, a family law attorney and entrepreneur based in Portland, OR. "There is this exclusive mystique around law that keeps people without a law degree feeling mystified by the process, which is why they usually end up paying so much for legal services. We are setting out to change that by making the process more accessible to everyone." Read all the latest news.

Additional highlights from the survey are below:

This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Your Lawyers Online from December 4-6, 2018 among 2,003 U.S. adults ages 18 and older.

"The holidays are an especially challenging time for our homeless families, - and children are often reminded of their lack of a permanent home when they send their letters to Santa. We hope this heart-warming story inspires everyone to give back this holiday season." Be alert to the latest news.

"We cannot stand idly by while roughly 63,000 people – mostly families – sleep in New York homeless shelters this Christmas," said Tom Stein, Chairman and Chief Client Officer of Stein IAS.

Fans will undoubtedly recognize the many new features introduced in the update, letting players interact with their pet in more ways than ever. Previously, taking care of Doumi was restricted to in-game features. With the power of ARKit 2, players can launch Doumi onto their real-life kitchen table and feed their pet tasty treats, go to the park and walk around or even throw a ball together.

"My Doumi was designed to utilize new AR technologies, letting players raise their virtual pet in the real-world," says Thijs Bosma, Dr. Panda Founder. "In this update, My Doumi AR focuses on pet raising entirely in AR, with many features yet to be seen in other virtual pet apps, such as the ability for Doumi to walk around by itself in the real-world."

It is this exclusive feature in particular, Doumi's autonomy to move around freely in the player's real-life environment, that awards My Doumi AR a competitive edge over its competitors such as AR Dragon, My Talking Tom 2 and My Tamagotchi Forever.

The app's newest version also celebrates the spirit of Christmas with tons of holiday-themed items. Players will receive a surprise gift every day in the countdown to Christmas, in addition to limited time festive costumes, falling snow and Christmas trees.
