For the past several months, ACP Technologies has been working toward gaining a GSA (General Services Administration) Contract so the Company can sell IT related products to government entities throughout the United States.  Specifically, ACP can go after large scale IT needs in the form of RFQ’s RFP’s from the Federal level of government down to the State/Local agencies.   It’s a great way to increase revenue and gain additional market share beyond the local area in Buffalo, NY.   Completion of the GSA is scheduled for sometime during the summer 2010.

ACP Technologies is primed to run TV advertising for the first time in company history.  2010 will be a great year for the Company as it endeavors to run TV ads on major networks in the Buffalo, NY market!   Stay tuned – spots will be posted on the website soon!

1. IT services made available as you need them, when you need them. Organizations can use a third party to manage their entire IT environment or just a small portion. When selecting a service provider, it is important to identify providers that offer scalable capabilities available on demand such as hosting services, application services, e-mail and collaboration services, network services, managed security services, storage services and replication services. This helps organizations to purchase what they need, when they need it and to expand as they grow.
2. It’s too expensive to build and maintain a data center on your own.  For many organizations, building or upgrading their own data centers is becoming increasingly difficult to justify.  In an era of budget cuts and curbed IT spending, many organizations are finding managed IT services as an attractive alternative. By leveraging a managed IT services provider, organizations have access to time-tested processes, skills and infrastructure, along with higher levels of security and reliability, at a lower cost.  This also allows organizations to better manage internal resources.
3. Focus on your business priorities and operational excellence, not IT requirements.   The core competency of a managed IT services provider is high availability and uninterrupted access to mission-critical data and systems.  Organizations do not need to devote scarce internal time and resources to deal with supporting databases or operating systems, responding to hardware crashes, power outages or other day-to-day headaches.  Managed services providers invest significant resources into building a cost-effective operational support model that organizations can leverage so that they can stay close to what really matters — their customers, productivity and profitability.  Using a managed IT services provider also allows organizations to accelerate their time to market and help improve overall availability, all within a predictable cost model.
