Technology Sales Veteran Joins ORBIT Systems - Tom Conn Joins ORBIT to Spread Managed Services to Small Businesses
9 October 2005
Tom Conn has been selling Information Technology solutions for over twenty years. He’s found that although most companies depend on IT to run their businesses, few gain a competitive advantage from their IT operations.
In this way a company’s computer systems are similar to its facilities or utilities. This prompts Conn to ask small business owners, “If you wouldn’t build and manage your own office building or power plant, why build and manage your own IT infrastructure?”
The obvious answer, to Conn, is that most small businesses wouldn’t do so if they knew there was a better way. For decades Fortune 500 companies have leveraged the resources and expertise of external providers to manage their computers, software, networks, servers, and even Help Desk. The “managed services” model is well-established with large companies, but has just begun to be delivered to smaller companies.
In the Twin Cities Metro Area, ORBIT Systems has been a pioneer of providing managed services for small and mid-size companies. Founded in 1999, the company now serves over 60 clients, and it has renewed 100% of its managed services clientele. “Not only has ORBIT proven that there is a better way for small businesses to manage IT, they’ve established a leadership role in the industry”, explains Conn.
A primary advantage of managed services is restored focus. Conn encourages business owners to take a close look at how much time executives and employees devote to managing computer systems. “We often find that the person who manages IT was originally hired to do another job entirely. As that company grows and technology changes, that person can no longer meet the company’s needs. Our clients are relieved to unload the distractions of IT management, and they place significant value on the enhanced business focus and peace of mind that they gain.”
