As co-founder of The Southwest Technology Consortium, I am extremely excited that what we are bringing El Paso is a one-stop-shop for technology!
As we all know, no matter how big you grow and how many people you want to help, that strategically it doesn’t make sense for any technology company to bite off more than they can chew. With that mentality, we have formed a Consortium that includes expertise across the technology sector provided by individual companies. With this focus, each company can retain their specialities, their focus and their strong points.
This concept allows for individuals and companies to benefit by calling one number which allows them access to a myriad of technology help! How many times have companies called numerous numbers looking for networking, website, database help and end up asking their current provider if they can accomplish all of these feats! Well, we now have an answer “The Southwest Technology Consortium!”
Let me give you a scenario: A business, let’s call it X business, is looking to grow in El Paso, needs and upgraded network, a new website, an upgrade from Quickbooks to a web based application, and are using Microsoft Access to handle all of their information needs outside of their Financial/HR application. On top of that, their reporting could be better, their processes need to be refined and they need documentation to handle training, standards and policies! Well, look no further than the consortium! We work as a team putting together the pieces needed to accomplish all of these tasks, assign someone in charge of organization, and work together for pricing, timelines, support/maintenance and delivery of all of these; within budget and on-time!
“The concept of a one-stop-shop makes sense!” stated Travis Hughes of AXA Advisors! Travis utilizes the consortium as his go-to partner for potential renter’s units within his building! “We offer the service because the concept is key, and the companies are extremely knowledgable!”
The consortium’s value and mission statement are as such:
Vision: The Vision for Southwest Technology Consortium is to bring technology, business knowledge, expertise, and know-how to the Southwest region and beyond.
Mission: The mission of the Southwest Technology Consortium is to provide innovate technology and business solutions through education, programs, and projects within the Southwest and beyond.
The Southwest Technology Consortium is a results based organization providing services and products to the southwest within the technology sector.
