LOS ANGELES, CA – May 8, 2007 – “I’m not sure what it would take for our computer systems to recover from a disaster.” “Between my internet service provider, IT vendor and the phone company, I feel like everyone consistently points fingers at each other when problems arise.” “I’m having problems defragging my C drive.” IT-savvy or not, any CEO of a small- or mid-sized company today has to confront the realities of a tech-driven world. Now, there’s an advice column just for them in the form of Ask Sid, a new Q&A blog by Sid Kato, CEO of Array Systems, Inc.

Kato invites fellow CEOs to post their tech-related issues at www.asksid.com, where he responds to select questions on a daily basis. His advice ranges from the longsighted (proper backup and offsite storage are key to smooth disaster recovery) to the philosophical (to end finger-pointing, make sure your IT provider takes full ownership of all your IT needs – not just the ones they’ve installed) to the nuts-and-bolts (run your defrag utility in safe mode). No matter what the topic, Kato keeps his answers simple, on target, and refreshingly free of tech-speak, a skill he developed while penning a column called “Computer-Wise” for a local newspaper, the Daily Breeze.

Peppered among the Q&A sections of Ask Sid are product reviews and insightful articles. Tech-related cartoons keep the mood light. To post a question or browse recent entries, visit www.asksid.com.

Kato founded Array Systems, Inc., in 1991, and has developed the firm into the number one computer network support and IT outsourcing company in Los Angeles. He is available for CEO-to-CEO consultations and is a member of Vistage International, the world’s largest CEO membership organization.
