Frisco Style – Best of Business 2006: eLinkSystems

AS TECHNOLOGY and computer systems are becoming more complex, so are the demands on businesses for sophisticated technology allowing them to better meet consumer needs and requests. Employment for computer specialists is expected to continue growing faster than average, at about 27 percent annually.   eLinkSystems offers computer networking services and technical support to small-to-medium size companies who would rather outsource the computer side of their business. Mack Powers is vice president of sales for eLinkSystems. We take care of our clients’ technology needs so they can focus more on their business and not have to spend time on computer issues," says Mr. Powers.

 

Technology solutions today encompass such a large range of products and services that many companies find themselves overwhelmed with the computer requirements of their business when trying to run the everyday operations. That is where eLink comes in. To start the process moving, eLink personnel conduct an initial 20-point checklist that evaluates a client's current technology and compares it to where the company needs to be. "Our goal is to partner with our customer to evaluate what technology they have, the problems with the current system and how to solve the problems in a way that suits the needs," explains Mr. Powers. "We have a high level of expertise in the field with engineers that are experienced problem solvers."

 

Once the areas of growth are acknowledged and evaluated, eLink offers solutions in a variety of services to assist the company. Services include network design and development, on-site and remote support, IT support, custom application development, training and database integration, web design and hosting, satellite internet, streaming audio and video, hardware and software sales support, and many other creative services.

 

Keeping up with the network side of things often feels like one continuous migraine headache for small businesses without the technical know-how to take care of things In-house.

 

eLink maintains networks and takes care of security issues for companies without the capabilities. If a company's network goes off line at two in the morning, eLink personnel are scrubbing sleep out of their eyes and fixing the problem. "We understand our clients' needs. We respond quickly and at anytime to get them back online." says Mr. Powers.

 

eLink enjoys the dynamics of a community like Frisco and chose to move to the area two years ago because of its growth and energetic atmosphere. The company is located on Legacy Drive, just South of Stonebriar Drive. "We wanted to be part of a growth area." says Mr. Powers. "We sponsor the Texas Tornado and advertise with the RoughRiders, and have realty enjoyed integrating into the Frisco community."
