H.M. Cragg Co. Helps Businesses Prepare For Storm Season Offering Strategies To Keep Critical Business Systems, Such As Computers And Databases, “Power Up” And Prevent Revenue Loss

MINNEAPOLIS – April 13, 2006 – www.hmcragg.com – H.M. Cragg Co., a MN-based provider of quality power solutions including Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) and batteries, today announced their efforts to help businesses retain reliable power during the upcoming storm season.

Power outages due to the electrical spikes and surges that result from lightening storms can lead to significant financial losses for businesses. Specifically, they can cause any of the following systems to go down:
• computers - productivity and revenue is lost when computers crash unexpectedly
• phones - customer service stops and orders are lost when phones are dead
• point of sale - when a company can't process a sale, revenue is directly impacted
• database - when prospect information is corrupted or lost and can’t be accessed, the sales cycle can be delayed

“Businesses often neglect to take the proper precautions to safe-guard themselves from losing productivity due to power loss,” said Paul Heggestad, President of H.M. Cragg Co. “H.M. Cragg Co. helps business owners pro-actively protect their sensitive and critical equipment before, during and after storms with smart, cost-effective strategies and products.”

As a result, H.M. Cragg Co. is encouraging businesses to take steps to prepare for power outages with its “Power Up” program. The “Power Up” program from H.M. Cragg Co. empowers business owners with 6 effective strategies including:
- How to protect business equipment from electrical spikes and surges

- How to identify when you need an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS)
