SyCom continues growth with rollout of Small and Mid-sized Business Group

(Richmond, Va., May 17, 2008) SyCom Technologies announced today the rollout of a new business unit that will focus on fulfilling the IT needs of small businesses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

“The technical needs of small and mid-sized businesses are no less sophisticated than those of the enterprise, however, the ability for smaller companies to meet those needs with limited personnel and limited dollars is a challenge,” stated a recent McKinsey Report.   “Add to that challenge, the day-to-day issues of keeping viruses out, communications open, yet secure, and systems up and running.”

 “We have found our small business clients want the ability to keep their technology current without killing their budget.  They need our help to prioritize what is important, and they want to know that when they pick up the phone, we will be here to assist in a timely manner.  We have developed a service offering that provides our small business customers with a dedicated team prepared to deliver guaranteed onsite or remote support at a reasonable cost,” stated Wanda Castelvecchi, Richmond Territory Sales Manager for SyCom.  

“Small and Mid-sized businesses have always been part of our client base, and we are particularly aware and sensitive to the issues that confront business owners and managers. Bottom line, business owners want to know how to utilize technology solutions to increase revenues and/or reduce costs,” stated Tom Cricchi, CEO and President of SyCom. “Through a combination of small business designated Account Managers, our support help desk, certified and highly experienced customer and systems engineers, an array of specially bundled SMB services, and our vendor partner programs, we can craft a support solution which will provide proven end-to-end business continuity from an IT perspective.”

Client focused and rich in technical expertise, SyCom's Mission Statement clearly states its goal:  “to provide outstanding and memorable service in everything we do.”  The company’s core competencies are focused on improving communications, reducing risk and optimizing operations.  This is achieved through effective consulting, design, integration, management, and life-cycle support of networked communication systems. Our goal is to provide the infrastructure to ensure systems communicate effectively in support of business objectives.  Achieving this with an unsurpassed level of customer satisfaction is SyCom's driving force.
