Advanced Computer Systems

Being vulnerable to computer hackers and identity theft is akin to keeping your shop’s doors closed all week long—you won’t make any money and will likely be out of business soon. You have to have a shield of armor to provide anti-virus security and guard your personal information stored on your electronic device like a knight protects a vital seaport. As a merchant or business owner of any sort, the quickest way to get a bad reputation that is hard to shake is by not securing your clients’ information. You do not want to be the business known for credit card theft so having systems in place to make you more secure than your competitor is a must. At Advanced Computer Systems, they have a 37-year track record of proven technical and computer system design. They understand hackers and viruses and the ins-and-outs of backup and recovery systems so that you can take a breath and let the experts handle the stressful technical aspects of your business.

Why Advanced Computer Systems? Not many businesses have a history of computer care dating back to Apple II computers, but ACS does. They have become leaders in networking, help desk, and custom software by staying ahead of the technology curve. They have seen the world become digitalized and have been there every step of the way assisting business owners with fax, voicemail, email, and then software and hardware issues. They specialize in a small-office atmosphere between five and 20 employees and are a one-stop shop for all customized office computer systems. Advanced Computer Systems understands that every task we do involves computer and the internet, and it is vital to have an IT company as your advocate and gatekeeper, making sure all of your systems that contain sensitive client information are perpetually secure.

As one of the earliest members of the IBE family, Advanced Computer Systems is quick to extol the virtues and success stories attributed with bartering. Owner Mark Sticht explains it this way, “Bartering has been a way to get extra business we would not have otherwise had. Another added bonus is that it frees up capital for other ventures like traveling or business expansion.” With 25 years’ experience in bartering, Mark encourages any merchant who is on the fence about bartering to check into the IBE Barter Exchange. In his opinion, you should join a barter system within your regional operating area. And per his experience, IBE is the strongest barter system available.

One of Mark Sticht’s greatest IBE stories is how he funded his entire wedding, from the invitations to the ring, flowers, venue, limo and the honeymoon—the whole event was put on via IBE bartering. And over at the office, he is hard-pressed to think of something NOT paid for with IBE. Throughout the years he credits IBE for covering the costs of printing, CPA services, attorney consultations, plumbers, and employee recognition and office parties. Much like Advanced Computer Systems, IBE is an all-inclusive source for everything your office needs. Great partnerships begin at IBE and from there, success is imminent.
