Tech companies often try to do outdo each other in just how much cool stuff we can possess. It’s standard issue these days for companies in our space to have a ping pong table, Segways and beer taps. We’ve seen some of the outfits in Silicon Valley and are still amazed at the amount of lavishness in these workplaces. But it is also important to remember — and especially this time of year — that there are very good people who are struggling all around the world. That is why we knew we wanted to give back and that’s why we got involved with Operation Santa. We pride ourselves on being email deliverability experts who ensure millions upon millions of opt-in emails get to where they need to go every day. So we decided we would make sure some really important mail — letters from kids to Santa Claus — get delivered and answered. Dyn got involved with the United States Postal Services’ Operation Santa, which allows individuals and companies to read letters from needy families and answer them by buying gifts like clothes and toys. Even though we helped out, there are still a lot of letters that need to be answered. We encourage you to join us in this effort and we even created a slightly silly video to ask for your help. Individually, we all have so much but together, we can give back even more. DynCares' Michael Taylor and the CEO of the holiday season Santa Claus are teaming up to help kids in need. Here's why Dyn is helping Operation Santa and our plea for fellow tech companies to join suit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfQCJmXuPMo&feature=player_embedded At Dyn, we take deliverability very seriously. Usually we're making sure your emails reach the inbox. But this time of year the most bulk mail being sent out are letters to Santa Claus. Many of these are from needy kids and many of these go undelivered and unanswered. That's why we decided to help out Kris Kringle. We're participating in the US Postal Service's Operation Santa. In doing so we're reading and answering letters from needy kids. It is the best deliverability we do all year. We believe a good culture is as important to a company’s infrastructure as DNS and Email Delivery. That is why we started Culture-Con, a traveling road show that deep dives into the role of culture in the business world. While we don’t claim to have all the answers, we’re qualified to be instigators, especially since we were recently named one of the Most Democratic Workplaces in the World and were inducted into the New Hampshire Hall of Fame as an Employer of Choice. We love what we do. That’s why, in an industry that has a reputation of being stuffy, we like to inject a little fun. At conferences, we hand out t-shirts featuring our latest marketing campaigns (DNS Is Sexy or Get Some IaaS) and put on our versions of networking events (DynTinis and Music Meets Tech) that blur the line between networking and hanging out. The method to all of this madness: you do business with the people you like and we think you’ll like us. ------------------------------------------------------------------ We love what we do.

The method to all of this madness: you do business with the people you like and we think you’ll like us. While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, our pride and joy is our network and technology. Dyn has a reputation for being fast and reliable with DNS roots dating back to 2001 when we first launched DynDNS. In 2007, we made the move upstream and began offering our DNS platform to enterprise-level clients. We’ve scaled alongside clients like Twitter, Zappos, Etsy, Homeaway, Pandora and hundreds more. In 2010, we started offering Email Delivery services. We now have more than 15,000 email senders whose revenue is increasing because more emails are finding their way into the inbox, powered by best practices and not smoke & mirrors. While we’ve come a long way, we’re not ready to settle. In fact, we’re constantly preparing for the future. Our labs division is the technical playground for the company’s next great DNS and Email Delivery innovations and service with a overarching question of ‘What’s next?’
