BREVARD COUNTY • ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA – It is a universal truth about technology that problems will eventually arise, usually at the most inopportune of times. Unfortunately, no company or individual is immune to the threat of data or equipment failure.

Since our businesses, and our lives, are now intrinsically connected to technology, it is imperative to have someone watching our backs, a partner you can trust.

The partner is Altec, a woman-owned Rockledge company with more than three decades of experience not only helping businesses stay secure and operational, but also providing sales, installation and supplies for local companies, as well as for residential customers.

“We started as a print/toner company and have evolved over the years,” said sales manager Wyatt Willis. The evolution continues, as Altec expands into the residential consumer market.

“We were originally business-to-business and are now also business-to-consumer,” added Willis.

At the company’s headquarters in Rockledge, customers can purchase a range of technology and ancillary supplies, but that is just the tip of range of services.

Wyatt Willis, Altec sales manager, explains to a client how to make their networking infrastructure more efficient. “We do everything from toner to IT,” said Willis. “We serve all of Brevard, from Mims to Micco. We provide an on-the-ground IT team at a fraction of the cost of others.”

AT-HOME TECHNOLOGY

It is not unusual for business customers to tap onto Altec for help with at-home technology.

For example, while resolving IT issues at a local auto restoration company, the owner’s father asked for help with internet connectivity at home, which was spotty and only allowed for one device to be used at a time. The Altec technician quickly solved the problem by installing wifi-boosting equipment.

“It was a simple solution to an annoying problem,” said Willis. “We solved his problem without breaking his wallet.”

Altec professionals can install both business and residential systems, so customers can avoid do-it-yourself headaches that invariably pop up. Should issues later arise, the Altec team is again at the ready.

“All the business or individual need do is call the Help Desk,” said Willis. “We make it a priority to be available whenever the need for help arises.”
