From the President

-
Creative Business Concepts, Inc. was established in 1986 as a LAN sales and support organization. I believed then, and still do today, that no matter how good a company is at providing networking technology, there is always room for improvement. Therefore, we set out to find the most highly qualified and skilled technical, sales and support personnel in the business.

The end result of those two theories has brought numerous awards to Creative Business Concepts, Inc. which can be found under the Awards section of our web site. Some of our more prominent awards consist of our listing in the INC 500 in 1996, along with many years of listings in the Local Area Network Top 100 Integrators in the county.  These awards let us know what we are capable of on a regular basis and continually challenge us to improve each and every day.

Today, Creative Business Concepts, Inc. has expanded into many new areas of Local Area Networking services and support. For years, we have been involved with LAN design, WAN design, host and remote connectivity, network security, and mass storage subsystems primarily running on Microsoft NT and Novell operating systems. Over the past couple of years, we have expanded into high level consulting services.   These services are provided by only senior level engineers, in a written form, to assist you with design, planning, implementation, time lines and strategies on building a platform within your organization for the future.  These services can include network management, email and intranet; corporate email communications access and many more.  We have also become experts with the Microsoft BackOffice Suite of products and have achieved the Microsoft Solution Provider Partner level status.

The difference when working with CBC is evident in the quality of our personnel and the longevity of our staff.  Twenty-five percent of our organization has been with the company between 5 and 13 years.  Our engineering staff is second to none, with nearly 100% of our staff being cross-certified as both Microsoft MCSEs and Novell CNEs.  These two factors provide you, the customer, with consistency of service and support in a formula for building a tremendous long term relationship.  The current list of Fortune 500 companies doing business with CBC exemplifies this type of successful relationship.  (References available upon request.)

CBC has continued to grow over the past year and a half to include a Microsoft CTEC (Certified Technical Education Center).  This state of the art training facility, along with a superior training staff, has allowed us to provide MCSE certification tracks as well as the Microsoft BackOffice Suite of applications classes, conducted at CBC or your own facility.  We have also designed customized training packages, including courseware and "turnkey" training solutions for your entire organization.

The other area of growth has been to satisfy many of our clients' needs with temporary staffing or contract labor, or to provide permanent placement of IS personnel.  Our dedicated Recruiting department will define the scope of candidate and professionally interview the candidates with our highly technical management staff.

These new challenges are areas where Creative Business Concepts, Inc. will help take you and your company into the 21st Century.  The past was great, but the future will be greater. Let Creative Business Concepts, Inc. help your company in formulating an information technology design and implementation plan that will assist your organization in being a top performer in your field in the years to come.
