Chit Chat with Chittick: Episode 6 - The Thanksgiving Edition

Let’s settle a major national debate. What’s the best part of Thanksgiving? Some swear it’s the turkey. Some say pie. Some say “family time,” which… okay, sure.

The magic is in the variety—you build the plate you want, however questionable your combination choices may be. (Yes, gravy on everything is acceptable. No, gravy on salad is not.) Here at Four Inc., the SLED team lives by this philosophy. Your technology options should look like a Thanksgiving buffet—plentiful, flexible, and capable of making everyone a little too confident about going back for seconds. As an industry-leading Public Sector Technology Provider, we offer a spread of solutions wide enough to impress even the pickiest relatives.
