JMARK

What a day. Biz 417's ThinkSummit is one of those rare rooms where the people building the Ozarks all show up under one roof, and 417-land stepped out yet again.

Bold ideas. Honest conversations. Leaders sharing what they're learning, what they're building, and where this region is headed next. We're proud to play a part in making it happen, and even prouder of the community that fills the room.

A couple of things from our corner of the day: we introduced JIVE, our custom-built AI solution for businesses (much more on that soon), and shared that JMARK is fully embracing the next phase of business technology as a Managed Intelligence Provider.

But honestly? The best part is always the people. Hands-down one of our favorite days of the year.

We spent an incredible Community Engagement Day with some bright IB students from Springfield Public Schools. Our team loved opening up the office to show them that a career in IT is about much more than just fixing servers, it’s about problem-solving, teamwork, and making an impact.

There’s nothing like the energy of students who are ready to take on the future. Whether we were discussing cybersecurity or just what it’s like to work at JMARK, the conversations were the highlight of our week.

Last Friday’s Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting was all about momentum: where Springfield has been, what’s working, and where the business community is headed next.

The program highlighted real progress in economic development, workforce initiatives, and leadership across the region, along with a clear focus on sustaining growth without losing what makes Springfield strong. Those conversations matter, especially for organizations thinking long-term about people, infrastructure, and resilience.

Proud to support a night that challenged leaders to think bigger, plan smarter, and stay invested in the future of our community.
