Established by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in 1968 to serve the computing needs of the southeast area, Tri-C Systems has built a reputation as one of the areas most trusted IT service providers. From its headquarters in northwest Tallahassee, Tri-C Systems provides services ranging from individual installations and repairs to the overall management of their customers' IT infrastructure including printers, networks, servers, and services like web and email hosting.

Don Goss is the Senior Network Engineer with Tri-C Systems. In just a short period of time, the company has installed the Axcient platform at more than 14 client sites and plans to rollout the platform across the rest of its customer base over the next year.

• Comprehensive management across all environments and devices – The remote management console allows easy access to monitor and solve problems proactively from anywhere.
• Improved operational efficiency – Everything from installation and setup to full system recovery is faster with Axcient, leaving more time to focus on customer service.
