About 106 years ago, a woman named Clara Zetkin attended the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen. It was at this meeting when Zetkin suggested the formation of International Women’s Day– a celebration that takes place on the same day each year, in every country. It’d be a day that honors women, their accomplishments, and their fight for equality.
Fastforward to today, March 8th, 2016, and we’re proud to still be celebrating women and their accomplishments. JB Systems believes in the importance of celebrating International Women’s Day. While there are more women programmers than there used to be, the technology industry has a ways to go in terms of embracing diversity and equality in hiring for programming positions. (more…)

After spending time going over Google Analytics, sometimes people don’t know what they’re looking at. The terminology, charts, and numbers don’t always make sense– it’s enough to make your head spin!

Over the past few days, we’ve received phone calls from concerned clients, saying they are unable to send emails. After investigating this problem further, we’ve determined that the common denominator in this issue is Outlook 2010. A setting in Outlook was turned off. We’re unsure why this happened, but JB Systems can confirm that it doesn’t have to do with our servers. If you’re using Outlook 2010 and experiencing this problem, please see the instructions (more…)

Though many people are familiar with JB Systems’ ability to create responsive, custom websites, few people know that our graphic design team also creates some powerful brands and identities for our clients. What’s exciting about designing a new brand is that, much like with a new website, we get to help our clients get a more consistent, professional identity for their business. Branding (or re-branding) is a chance for clients to show their client base how they’re evolving. It’s incredibly rewarding for JB Systems to be part of that process.
Branding takes many forms, such as a new logo design, changing the colors of an existing logo, updating a slogan, and more. At JB Systems, we recently had the opportunity to help the Eau Claire Police Department re-brand themselves by creating a new logo.
On Tuesday, August 18th, some of our team members were in attendance at Phoenix Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin as Police Chief Gerald Staniszewski unveiled the logo on two new police vehicles, along with another vehicle (more…)
