Progressive Computing, Inc. Announces Purchase of Network Crazy

Westchester County, NY (PRWEB) May 29, 2012

Progressive Computing, Inc., a computer consulting and network installation, design and maintenance firm, is pleased to announce the recent purchase of Network Crazy, a computer networking services company, thereby expanding its client base and simultaneously growing the portfolio of services so as to offer clients a wider range of technology solutions.

M&A is an integral part of our strategic growth plan, but the opportunities have to be right, said Robert Cioffi, Managing Partner for Progressive Computing. We evaluated Network Crazy carefully in terms of multiple factors and opportunities to capitalize on including client base, sales, contracts, and employees.

One strong interest for PCI in Network Crazy lay in its use of two major software systems; namely ConnectWise, a practice management system, and Kaseya, a remote management and monitoring system. Since PCI was already using both applications for years prior to the acquisition, the integration of both clients and employees would be seamless with minimal impact across the board. The marriage and balance of complementary business models will surely prove to be a force in the industry moving forward, and the now combined teams have high expectations for the near future. As the PCI brand continues to impact the marketplace, clients are sure to benefit from the advanced technology solutions and enhanced repertoire of services.

With a larger team and a diverse mix of experience, our clients will realize greater technical competency. Our increased size and resources also gives us the ability to become more operationally efficient. Ultimately, all of this should lead to greater client satisfaction, Cioffi remarked.

Prior to the acquisition of Network Crazy, the PCI management team met with all contract clients to explain the next steps. It was important from the onset that all clients were confident that the combined teams could transition the relationship in a seamless manner. It was also crucial for all parties involved to understand that they would continue to receive the level of service they had become accustomed to.

Also, a critical factor in the success of this purchase was in the negotiated retention of the Network Crazy staff. One of PCIs core values is that employees are the face and voice of any company. They wanted to insure that all clients felt secure in the knowledge that they would still be serviced by same people they know and trust – only now they would have a larger supporting team. “We have not lost a single client,” Cioffi was pleased to report.

And with that came an overnight growth of 35-40%; this from a company that was already pacing at 10% year over year after the end of the first quarter in 2012. When asked about the potential for layoffs, Cioffi said, Not unless there is a major economic meltdown in Westchester County and the NYC metro area. I don’t foresee that happening. I only see brighter days ahead for our company.

PCI plans for the remainder of 2012 include expansion into new and improved office space, and an upgrade in service offerings. For the time being, contact Progressive Computing, Inc. via the following outlets:

Progressive Computing, Inc. Announces New Addition to Tech Team

Westchester County, NY (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Progressive Computing, Inc., (PCI) a computer consulting and network installation, design and maintenance firm, announces the addition of Technical Advisor Jose Rodriguez to their team. PCI now has a total of 10 professional technicians serving clients in Westchester and Manhattan.

A six-year veteran of the IT industry and a graduate of the ASA Institute in New York City, Rodriguez formerly worked at Health Insurance Plan of NY (now Emblem Health) and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. At PCI, he provides clients with technical support and repairs for Windows-based PCs and laptops, and administration of servers. Rodriguez believes that helping customers understand the issues and opportunities related to technology is paramount to finding the right solutions in a timely and affordable manner, and often uses analogies and hand-drawn pictures to simplify explanations.

Our clients are mostly non-technical, so we place a high value on the capability of our team members to speak to end users in human terms, explained Robert Cioffi, Managing Partner for Progressive Computing. Jose showed us great promise that he can simultaneously focus on the issue at hand while balancing the end-user concerns. Hes an excellent member of our growing team.

Inspired by the movie Swordfish to pursue a career in IT and the thrill of building his own computer at the age of 16, Rodriguez consistently strives to enhance his skills and keep up with the latest trends and developments in the industry. Looking forward, he sees opportunity for PCI clients, especially related to transitions from desktop to mobile computing and from on-site to Cloud storage.

I look forward to working with our clients to capitalize on technological advances in order to improve and simplify their business processes and increase their competitive position in the marketplace, says Rodriguez. We are partners in progress.

Progressive Computing, Inc. Expands to New Office Space

Yonkers, NY (PRWEB) October 31, 2012

Progressive Computing, Inc., a computer consulting and network installation, design and maintenance firm, is looking forward to moving into new 1,800 sq. ft. office space on 35 East Grassy Sprain Road in Yonkers, NY. The rapidly-growing company has decided to remain in Westchester County in a dedicated effort to continue its commitment and expansion within their community roots.

When asked why they decided to remain in Westchester County, Robert Cioffi, Managing Partner for Progressive Computing, commented, Westchester has a vibrant business community and we want to continue being a part of it. Although we have a growing footprint in Manhattan, a majority of our clients are here. He also went on to explain that Yonkers, in particular, is a strategic business location for three reasons. First, there is a nexus of roadways enabling PCI employees to reach all points within the county and beyond with relative ease. Second, the proximity to where the majority of staff live is a big benefit for everyone on the team. And, third, the access to shopping, food and other resources provides company employees with plenty of comfort and convenience.

Remaining grounded in Westchester County also means that the company will be able to continue taking advantage of what they feel is a very diverse workforce. Cioffi explained that PCI places a high value on things like culture, education, and different life experiences when evaluating personnel for potential employment, and they have found that Westchester offers plenty of people who come from a variety of backgrounds. With that, Progressive Computing is looking to add at least one more person to the growing team in 2012. If we remain consistent and continue to grow, Cioffi said, we anticipate adding an additional one or two more people in 2013.

Because the Progressive Computing staff is on the road visiting clients for the majority of the time (as opposed to clients meeting them in-house), the convenient location and ease of commuting will enhance what Cioffi calls PCIs OML or Operational Maturity Level. The fact that Yonkers is located extremely close to several major arteries means that the PCI team will be able to connect them more efficiently with their clients as well as business in New York City. For their loyal clients, this means that they will realize an incrementally improved experience because the new space will allow the PCI team to work more efficiently, and therefore pass those enhancements on to the clients they are servicing.

Further, although office amenities such as private offices, a kitchen, full-fledged conference room and excellent parking may seem like standard features to most, to PCI its more than a vast improvement from their previous occupancy that they had quickly overwhelmed due to a recent acquisition and other growth.

The new office will offer PCI plenty of room for stretching their legs and expanding the team, but it was explained that they anticipate the real expansion will come from growing their revenue base from three general directions: a predictable growth rate based purely on referrals, seeking the right opportunities to assimilate other firms into the current business model, and the addition of new product and service lines that complement existing offerings one of which includes the new operating system from Microsoft and their upcoming tablet. Although Windows 8 and the upcoming Microsoft Surface Tablet are late players in mobility technology, they certainly will be making a large impact in the market, Cioffi explained.

Progressive Computing has a core philosophy in believing that most great companies achieve success through deliberate and continuous improvement, rather than making large splashes, and this is the direction they will continue to follow as they move into their new office space this year, and continue the momentum into 2013. Ugo Chiulli, Managing Partner commented, We will not be successful by accident or have any tremendous growth spurts (perhaps barring a large acquisition). So, you can expect that our company will continue to be strong, vibrant and consistent not just in 2013, but well beyond that.
