Record Growth for 2009
Despite the current economic conditions facing our country, Ascent Solutions, LLC is on track to set a yearly record by more than 40%. We contribute this to our business model, which called for diversification from its inception, and most importantly the individuals we have within the company. Striving for a common goal with a belief that outsourced IT really is the way to go for most companies, we have been able to show how our business model works: saving time and money for our clients, while maintaining the quality of service they have come to expect from us. Over the last four years, moving from the SMB market to the Enterprise market has been a big change for our company, but we believe that if we stay diversfied in both small and big clients our brick and mortar model will be unbeatable.
