What has fueled your company’s growth? “We have grown our client base by providing a great experience for our customers. It is our goal to serve clients better than that to which they are accustomed. Our tag line is ‘Doing Whatever I.T. Takes!’ and we live by this. The result is that we build longlasting relationships with our clients as their trusted technology advisor, and they are often kind enough to refer us to other clients.”
What is the biggest obstacle to your company’s growth? “Our biggest challenge continues to be finding the right people to add to our team. Whether the role is performing technical, operational or sales functions, we look for individuals who have a passion for technology and business, deeply enjoy serving others, are personable and friendly, are accountable and act responsibly.”
Do you plan to make any changes in your company in the coming months? “We will be merging our Brookfield and downtown locations into a new, larger location in Walker’s Point. Additionally, we are looking at some strategic acquisitions over the next 12 months.”
Who are the business people, locally or nationally, whom you admire? And what traits do those people exhibit that make you admire them? “Richard Branson of Virgin, for several reasons: He enters new industries that he thinks are poorly served; he sets huge goals and achieves most of them; he is not afraid to fail; he is active in and funds several charities; he knows how to have fun while always shamelessly promoting his brand; and he has a real passion for life.”
What is the outlook for the business conditions of your industry over the next several months? “Both our IT and media divisions have been busy for the last two years and we expect that to continue into the next year.”
What is your company’s most important growth strategy right now? “We are currently pursuing a mixed growth strategy: organic and by acquisition. Most importantly, we need to keep our focus on “Doing Whatever I.T. Takes!” to keep our current clients happy and earn new referrals. Additionally, we are reviewing acquisition opportunities for companies who share our passion for service and have existing clients with similar profiles to those we serve now – or companies who offer services complementary to our existing capabilities.”
