The Company continually invests in its employees by providing opportunities for individual growth. Over 50% of its staff has at least 5+ years of service with the Company, with many holding 10+ years of service.
(2) COVID-19 Proof Business Model: The Company has proven itself to not only be COVID-resistant but COVID-proof. The Company did not let go of a single staff member due to the pandemic; in fact, they strategically increased its personnel to accommodate a rise in sales and service demand.
(3) Recurring Revenue: The Company’s relationships with customers are typically long-lasting, with the Company filling in the gaps of the customers’ IT needs. Cultivating close-knit connections to customers in a consultatory manner has rewarded the Company with approximately $2.9 million in recurring revenue per year.

The Company works to grow in both size and strength to compete head-on with the local and regional competition.

Growth Opportunities
(1) Increasing IT Demand: The Company’s services could be in increasingly high demand for many years to come. As more employers are considering the switch to permanent work-from-home jobs (or at least expanding the abilities for employees to work from home), the need for IT professionals is expected to escalate with the growing trend. Many business operators are turning their attention to alternative storage solutions such as cloud services and outsourced IT storage management. The Company’s team of skilled professionals will be a boon towards meeting the potential presented by these notable trends.
(2) Develop & Implement Sales Program: The Company’s salespeople are often caught up in operational activity when they could be freed up to focus on sales. Developing a formal training program that encourages shortening the sales cycle to increase time-to-close on opportunities could be a key top-line driver for the Company moving forward.
(3) Strengthen Help Desk Staff: Help desk staff presently lack the experience and years of service that the other departments within the Company hold. Problem resolution is delayed at times due to a shortfall of technical prowess within this department. Adding one or two experienced help desk employees who are well-versed in the applied mechanics of IT could be an immediately actionable path to Company growth.
(4) Improved Managed Services Offering / Move to the Cloud: The Company is offering an improved Managed Services Provider offering. The package is simpler to sell, understand, and quote for as compared to previous offerings. The Company is also working towards moving its data center to the cloud. Once the data center hosted services are uniformly based in the cloud, the Company will follow with its internal systems. The internal systems cloud-integration phase is on track for completion by year-end 2021. Working towards seamless cloud integration of the Company’s internal processes and procedures will prove to be a principal efficiency booster in both the short and long-term.
(5) Strategic Add-On Acquisitions: The Company operates in a highly competitive industry. The most viable path to inorganic expansion would be the acquisition of a firm of similar nature and service capabilities located outside of Michigan. The benefits of such an acquisition would include revenue and volume growth, margin and EBITDA improvements, and added talent.
