Every
September, the Hauppauge Industrial Association of Long Island recognizes excellence
from companies across Long Island with their Red Carpet Business Achievement
Awards Affair. If you aren’t familiar with the HIA-LI, HIA-LI is one of the
largest business associations on Long Island which represents about 1,000 companies
ranging across many industries and CHIPS happens to be a member.
This year, the
HIA-LI held their Business Achievement Awards Gala to acknowledge Finalists in
Four Business categories. We attended the Gala not only
because we were a finalist, but because of the mere fact that the HIA-LI
focuses so strongly on Long Island Businesses and the Betterment of the
Business Community.
Being a
Long Island Based Company since 1993, we could definitely appreciate what the
HIA-LI had put together before us. During the Gala, discussions amongst
business professionals focused on key factors of success and how Long
Island’s Businesses should be aware of these factors. What we were able to discuss with other attendees of the Gala was how Long Island needs to embrace Technology
and use it as the driving force to grow our companies. The reason CHIPS has
become so successful over the years on Long Island is largely because
we recognize the value and importance of technology to any business. We are constantly helping our clients grow and
innovate by using technology as a cornerstone to become top industry performers within the Long Island Business Community. We continue to strongly encourage all businesses to have an open mind when reviewing their objectives and
consider technology as a differentiator that will better push them to success.
It can
be intimidating at first when considering how to embrace and incorporate new technology solutions into your
business, but with an experienced, knowledgeable partner, you will
definitely feel reassured that you are one step ahead of competitors in your
industry. I know there are some people that may be thinking their business wouldn't really benefit from the latest and greatest in hi-tech solutions, but that is expired thinking. Technology is the now
and embracing it with open arms only showcases that your business is not only
conscious, but innovative. Remember what the HIA-LI emphasizes during their
Gala Luncheon, excellence in Long island Businesses.
Overall, The
HIA-LI’s 22nd Annual Business Achievement Awards not only showcased
Long Island’s top organizations in a truly memorable way, but got every
business executive thinking about how we can better Long Island’s Business
Community. We look forward to attending the HIA-LI Gala next September with
hopes that technology is even more embraced and that companies continue to
thrive in the Long Island Business community.
