After 18 years in the IT industry, I found that there were huge gaps in the services being provided. Having worked for companies ranging from large restaurant chains to small break fix companies and most of everything in between, I found that small and medium sized businesses in particular were not receiving the services they needed to function and grow. This even applied to the non-profits I came across. There had to be a better way.
So, in 2009, I formed PWH Technology Solutions with a good friend and started down the road to entrepreneurship. We decided that the company would be veteran owned and operated and we decided that the company would stay debt free so, for the first few years, my business partner and I worked full-time jobs in addition to running the company.
In 2012, Steve left the company and we rebranded. We became “Gnosys” in honor of a friend who passed very young and who wanted to retire by starting a company named “Gnosys Games.”
Gnosys (nō′sĭs) an intuitive understanding of truths and knowledge.
This was not only an appropriate name for an IT company. It also helped to form our basic tenets:
Knowledge | Insight | Fidelity
Our goal was and will always be to deliver integrated, long-term IT management solutions to the small and medium sized business at an affordable price.
