Excellence in Business Gala − March 11, 2011 City Hall: 763−717−4000 City Website: www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us March 2011 Volume 1, Issue 4 Mounds View’s Business-to-Business Electronic Newsletter Kovacs Ground Care, which began in 1998 as a lawn care and snow removal business, has ex- panded continually to become a provider of year-round maintenance services for commercial properties in Mounds View and surrounding communities. A hard-working extrovert, owner Andrew Kovacs says he appreciates making a living at some- thing he enjoys, while helping people at the same time. He also provides consultation to property owners about how to solve problems such as surface water run-off, soil erosion, and trouble spots. Kovacs takes pride in the fact that his customers’ lush lawns are obtained through envi- ronmentally sustainable turf management practices. “I know that businesses – like me -- are always looking for ways to reduce costs. I’d like to help move Mounds View commercial properties away from huge areas of golf course grass toward the use of attractive and sustain- able plants that will cost less to maintain in the long run. Once well established, rain gardens and large areas of native landscaping require very little attention, which saves the cost of mowing and watering. The same goes for the right tree choices around buildings. It’s a good long-range investment in terms of facility heating and cooling costs. I can help facilities managers with all of that,” said Kovacs. While this winter’s record snowfalls proved challenging, Kovacs plowed not only his own accounts, but helped cover others in his “network of plow jockeys” who fell behind or broke down. “Reliability is important to me. I take good care of my equipment and my customers know they an count on me,” he said. That’s why I’ve been in busi- ness so long. To learn more about Kovacs Ground Care, go to kovacsgroundcare.com.

First came the wide spread adoption of computers in business in the 1960s; second we saw the introduction of PCs in the 1980s and finally the spread of the Internet in the 1990s. The next revolution is upon us and anyone who tries to ignore it will be left behind in a few short years. The Fourth Revolution in Computer Technology began in 2010 with the introduction of the Apple iPad - the first truly usable tablet computer. In one short year dozens of companies announced a myriad of competing products in a category that did not exist twelve months earlier. Coming on the heals of the smartphone, tablets are changing the way we work, learn, communicate and play. We don't have to look for a phone now when we want to make a call and now we will no longer have to go to a computer to process information; we can have one available just like a cell phone - portable and always on. The PC revolution took a decade to impact our lives but this one will happen much more quickly for three reasons: First - we are familiar with PC technology and easily recognize what a big improvement these new devices bring. Second - they are much cheaper than early PCs. Third - touch screens, voice transcription and the new "app store model" for software make the user experience much more satisfying. While traditional desktop and portable PCs will not go away, most people will be thrilled to do much of their work on a convenient tablet type device. Hearing about a new device that already has 400,000 programs available is certainly intimidating.
