Guam Paradigm Shift
In recent years there has been more and more talk about the Paradigm Shift in reference to global wealth / power. People believe that there has been and will continue to be a transformation of global markets on an incredibly large scale. In the current reference, power and wealth will supposedly shift from the "West" to other traditionally poor regions in non immerged nations. The theory is that these nations have positioned themselves better for the future. Out of necessity, many of these nations had to deploy less costly forms of power and transportation. These factors alone have given them an incredible edge in the modern world. Of course this does not apply to China. Their emergence is based on an entirely different catalyst.
Guam PCI DSS Compliance
Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standard
Many of iCON Guam web design company's customers require PCI DSS compliant servers. Two of our servers are certified as being PCI DSS compliant by an independent outside certification organization. Naturally, there was some skepticism on our part as to the legitimacy of the demands being made. In fact, some of the requests that we are required to fulfill are not pertinent to any applications currently being maintained on our servers. On some levels, the PCI DSS compliance standards may seem to be overkill or even pointless. But we understand that compliance cannot be customized for each development being tested. This is why our servers are now in full compliance.

Looking Forward
iCON Guam web design company has experienced a rebirth. Starting with our new location on Marine drive in Tamuning (Dhonson Plaza), we are dedicated to better serving our customers. We have expanded our workforce of trained web professionals with the continued high standards that have always kept us as the island’s premier web design company.
In our ever changing environment of high fuel prices, global warming and a severe recession in the mainland, we feel that Guam can still flourish. Our optimism is bases on the past 50 years of economic trends on Guam. We always seem to be out of sync with the mainland in regards to the peaks and valleys of prosperity.
Currently the people of Guam are poised for an economic upturn caused by the deployment of U.S. troops here. We see our politicians and businesspersons positioning themselves for improved revenues and better funding for infrastructure.
Next year iCON corporation will be one decade old. Ten years of proud service to the people. Although we are busting with pride in our many achievements, we don’t intend to dwell on this too much. In fact, we will celebrate by launching our global operations platform. Now that the island is finally moving forward to take its place as a worldwide communications hub, we have a few surprises to bestow upon the market.
