Corporate

C-Five Ltd. is just a name - A corporate identity to process the business transactions.

The rest is personal, and that’s the important part.

It’s Personal

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Les Connor. I have been a small business owner and manager in Brandon for over 26 years. Like you, the majority of my business skills have been developed over time - the time spent starting a business, growing it, and guiding it through change. Not the least of the changes we have seen in the past 26 years have been technological changes.

In the time between 1982 and the present, we’ve weathered the transition from stand-alone PC’s, to peer to peer networks, to client/server local networks, and now to wide area networks joined by the internet.

I have been personally involved the practical application of computer technology in small business since 1982, when the PC was in it’s infancy.

I have been installing and supporting the Small Business Server product suite for three product generations. It’s a fabulous product, and has such a positive impact on the businesses that have implemented it.

To get the best out of Small Business Server, it’s essential that it’s set up and maintained correctly. Experience counts. Product knowledge counts.

That’s my cue.

What you and I do together will benefit your business, or it won’t be done.

Awards

Microsoft Most Valuable Professional - Independent Experts. Real World Answers.

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their high quality, real world expertise in offline and online technical communities. Microsoft MVPs are a highly select group of experts that represents the technical community's best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.

I have received the MVP award from Microsoft for Small Business Server each year since 2002, and was the 6th SBS MVP recipient world wide. There aren’t any others around these parts; in fact there are only two in Manitoba and only a handful in all of Canada. As an SBS MVP, I am fortunate to have direct connections with SBS product support and development teams at Microsoft. This allows me to provide you with a level of product knowledge and support that few others can provide.
