Meet our employee, Matt Stromberg

Hometown: Delaware, OH

Tell us a little about yourself: I am married to my lovely wife Amanda (who I met at UBT), and we have three dogs, and a baby girl due in September.  I love the water, and enjoy living near the Chesapeake Bay.  In my spare time I like to mountain bike, skateboard, and play racquetball.

Years at UBT: 7+

Position at UBT: Major Account Executive

What do you like most about working at UBT: The fact that no two opportunities are the same.  It keeps things interesting, and encourages thinking outside of the box.

Interesting Fact:  Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour. (But we don't recommend it.)

United Business Technologies (UBT) has partnered with Blessings in a Backpack to fill 50 backpacks full of food each week for the next three years. The backpacks will provide weekend meals to students who qualify for the federally-funded National School Lunch Program at South Lake Elementary School in Gaithersburg, MD.  Through this program, UBT will contribute $50 for every copier sold from December 1st, 2016 to November 30th, 2019.

Blessings in a Backpack is a nonprofit that works with volunteers across the country to collect and package backpacks full of food, distributing them each Friday to students who qualify.

Every company has thousands of moving parts. The success of the company is wholly reliant on how these moving parts work together and complement one another--so it's important to keep the "machine" well-oiled. For example, employees have to be cooperating, communicating, and collaborating both efficiently and reliably. Information has to flow smoothly from Point A to Point B, and sometimes even from Point A to Point Z. Clients have to be respected and appreciated, not simply tolerated.

For many people working from home seems like a dream. They envision typing away from their home office while wearing pajamas and petting their dog. And, while this may be real, there are still some downsides to working from home, especially if you lack a dedicated home office. For example, my home office also serves as my husband's office, an occasional guest room, and an animal lounge area. So, what are some ways to be more productive (and less distracted) when working from home? Let's take a look.

What is a Wide Format Printer?

Wide or large format printers are much bigger than standard office printers. They can range in size anywhere from 18" to 100" and support large print jobs, such as printers and banners. WFPs are still computer controlled like traditional office printers, but are better suited for businesses with graphic-specific needs.
