History of EPC Technologies

EPC Technologies was launched in in response to the unmet need for professional, consistent-quality computer and information technology (IT) solutions for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). The need became very clear to EPC Technologies founder Jim being in High School working full time as a freelance programmer-designer of making ends meet for his college tuition which would not revolve due to the extreme demand of professional / custom programmers.

Jim quickly realized that he wasn't alone. Other SMBs were experiencing similar difficulties finding reliable, consistent and cost-effective IT service and support. A survey of the market revealed a significant growth in the number of SMBs. Companies in this size range wouldn't be able to meet all of their IT needs with internal resources, leading to an exploding demand for quality outsourced IT support internationally.

In addition, there was a growing trend of experienced professionals exploring becoming independent technology consultants rather than continuing to work as employees in corporate technology departments.

This led Jim to hit upon the ideal solution for all: creating an international IT professional company which would provide consistent, high-quality business technology solutions to SMBs while at the same time providing lucrative investment opportunities for ambitious professionals ready to run their own businesses. And so, EPC Technologies was born.

The company's model is to build a national business technology solutions network with the expertise, processes, systems and support necessary to provide superlative service to SMBs. EPC Technologies supports its client’s with thorough training in EPC Technologies service standards and processes, sophisticated Internet-based back office systems and support, national advertising and branding, and partnerships with trusted leading name-brand technology and business solutions providers.

The company is led by a team of seasoned executives with a history of success in the upscale of today’s technology and business management.

Exploding Demand

With recent changes in the economy, many professionals have switched from working for corporations to starting their own businesses. This has led to unprecedented growth in small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the United States, with more than 10.5 million SMBs already using computers in their daily operations. In addition, large corporations are establishing satellite offices which operate with the same requirements as SMBs. This growth is forecasted to continue for the foreseeable future.

Today's technology makes it possible for SMBs to enjoy the same efficiency and productivity gains as large companies. Indeed, SMBs are dependent on information technology (IT) to properly service their customers and remain competitive. Most SMBs can't afford to keep IT staff in house and are increasingly turning to outsourcing to keep their technology up to date and working smoothly.

Traditionally, the outsourced IT industry has consisted almost entirely of small "mom and pop" outfits and independent contractors, notorious for giving inconsistent quality service with sparse documentation of their work, and providing little more than "break/fix" service consisting of simply troubleshooting and repair. This level of service is simply not sufficient to meet the needs of SMBs. As a result, the growing ranks of SMBs internationally are desperate to find a brand name service provider they can trust to provide the critical IT support they need.

This market also accounts for nearly 50% of the private work force, as well as 50% of the private sales in the U.S. (Source: U.S. SBA 2003) SMBs are a major force in the U.S. economy, comprising 99.8% of all employer firms.
