10/3/2006 - October 2006 Marks 10 Year Anniversary for Mainstream Technologies
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas – October 3, 2006 – Little Rock, Arkansas-based Mainstream Technologies, Inc. celebrates 10 successful years of business this month. Founded in 1996 by John Burgess and Mark McClelland, Mainstream Technologies has become a top Information Technology consulting firm. Mainstream’s nationwide client base includes Fortune 500 companies as well as local and regional businesses.
Originally headquartered in Maumelle, Mainstream quickly outgrew its offices and migrated to its current facility in Little Rock. Co-Founder John Burgess recalls, "Our original concept for Mainstream Technologies was to use proven technologies, those in the mainstream, and focus our efforts on creative ways to employ those technologies. Technology alone doesn’t solve problems, but technology can be the most effective vehicle to deliver a business solution.” -It is a mindset that continues to serve Mainstream clients well.
Co-founder Mark McClelland adds, “We look beyond the technology to find solutions that solve driving business issues behind our clients’ challenges. Our staff needs to be more than simply skilled technicians. We want skilled personnel that understand business challenges. This has allowed Mainstream to attract talented and experienced individuals that think outside the box.” This focus on creativity has garnered the attention of heavy weight clients including Burlington Coat Factory, Safety Kleen, Linens ‘n Things and Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
Vice President of Sales, Richard Crider notes, “Our work with national clients benefits our local and regional clients. It allows us to bring an additional perspective when addressing their business issues. Fueled by increased competition and the ongoing trend toward globalization of business, issues faced by large companies are showing up in the small and medium business arena more rapidly than in the past. Our experience offers a competitive advantage to smaller local and regional customers.”
Mainstream Technologies distinguishes itself as an IT solutions provider that understands the business issues clients face on a daily basis and leverages technology to help them meet those challenges. The ability and desire to be a good business partner, and not simply another vendor, will continue to drive growth and success for Mainstream.
