Last month we hosted an Open House to celebrate our 25th anniversary and our new office space. As part of this we also invited 3 of the core vendors we partner with to join us. HP, WatchGuard and Datto came with their latest products and had some great discussions with people on their technology solutions.
This year marks our 25th anniversary from a company perspective. What started out in 1993 as a 1-person consulting firm has developed into a mature managed services company with 10 full-time staff. In the technology world 25 years is a long time and so much has changed through the years!

To give some background, before Windows 10 was created, Microsoft used to release a new operating system (O/S) every few years.
As we start this new year we are excited to announce that we will be moving to a new office! Our current office has served us well for several years, however we decided to purchase our own office space and move out of the current rental unit.
The new office isn’t far away, in fact it’s only 2 buildings down the street from our current space.
