"We build systems that never go down."You can't count on much with technology. Viruses, botched upgrades, Internet outages, broken email. Unfortunately, the "norm" in Information Technology is - simply - broken.
Enter Orbis Technology, Inc. A company of professional people with one goal in mind: delight our customers, and build systems that never go down. Consider some simple questions: "What opportunities are lost when your email is down?" "How much money is wasted when your employees can't work?" "Could you stay in business if you lost your accounting records?" Consider a few true stores: - A company loses all their data, failing to change backup tapes - A broken hard drive shuts down email and all work for a week - A power outage kills a 30 year old small business Consider the following: - Desktop computers were born in 1981 - The first desktop computers cost $5000 ($11,836 today) - The Ford Model T debuted in 1908 - In 1938, the Phantom Corsair was "The Car of the Future" We live in an unprecedented time. When desktop computers first arrived, the Internet was an academic experiment. 30 years later, we can't imagine our personal or business lives without the Internet. All thanks to a machine that has successfully increased its potential while decreasing its cost for the last 30 years. Computers, today, should cost more than a small home. Now, they bring us boundless access to information, services, research, collaboration, and exploration. All for an entry fee of a few hundred dollars and a monthly Internet charge, which is lower than most electric bills. We take our technology for granted. As technology professionals, we have had our business plans and social plans thwarted by hard drive crashes, servers that won't boot, and Internet service that goes out for days. We've experienced the pain. We've suffered the lost time. And we've counted the minutes, hours, and days wasted dealing with technology. We're fed up with excuses. We're done accepting the status quo. We know better, and we're doing something about it. And we've been successful at changing the face of technology for the last 10 years. And there's no end in sight. |
