Expetec Corporate Begins New Push for Franchisees and Partners

April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Expetec’s Corporate President, Joan Ganje-Fischer says, “The last 26 months with the economy and lending environment has been difficult to say the least.”  However, Ganje-Fischer believes that the signs are there indicating our economy and lending environment is turning around which means the technology industry is positioned for growth.  Incorporated into that growth will be new technologies including the cloud, converged mobile devices, networking equipment, and PCs.  An example of this progress is Expetec’s move into a cloud offering in partnership with Artisan Infrastructure earlier this year.  

The market research firm, IDC has released a paper that predicts businesses will be investing in new IT systems and services which will make the industry grow at a faster pace than the overall economy.  The cloud, mobile computing and social networking continue to move more aggressively into the business environment.

IDC’s Friedenberg predicts that business will have to focus more on increasing revenue instead of cutting costs.  With more focus on business strategy, business must look to IT companies to manage their IT operations and that is good news for the technology industry.

Expetec’s Partnership Network program was introduced in February of 2011. The program was designed for independent IT companies looking to align themselves with a nationally recognized IT brand.  Although there are differences between Expetec’s franchise offering and its partnership network program, both are designed to serve IT companies looking for assistance with their businesses.  At the end of March an Expetec team traveled to Minnesota to meet with new partner Kris Wilson; at the same time the team met other potential partners to explain options available to them should they decide to come into the program.

With 24 locations in 13 states and Canada, Expetec has been awarded numerous honors for exceptional growth and service including the prestigious American Association of Franchisees and Dealer’s certification of Fair Franchising.  Expetec corporate headquarters was founded in 1992 in Aberdeen, SD and the organization was acquired in 2005 by Jet Company, an Aberdeen venture capital group.  Both organizations can be found on the web at www.expetec.com.
