Houston Business Journal ranks Houston-area computer network and system integrators, cloud service providers

HOUSTON, May 15, 2013 – The Aldridge Company (www.aldridge.com), a leading provider, consultant and integrator of information technology (IT) and cloud computing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), is ranked among the Houston area’s leaders in cloud hosting and IT services by the Houston Business Journal.

Based on the number of local full-time employees, The Aldridge Company is ranked sixth among Houston-area cloud service providers. This was the first time the Houston Business Journal compiled such a list. Cloud hosting allows businesses to utilize The Aldridge Company’s IT infrastructure, security, and backup to store and access information, and deliver applications over the Internet. This can make it possible to avoid upfront infrastructure costs and to rapidly scale up or down to meet fluctuations in business demand.

Among the Houston-area’s computer network and system integrators, The Aldridge Company ranked 12th, based on local gross revenue.

“At the Aldridge Company, our role is to help customers align their technology systems and processes with their business strategy by leveraging the right tools and removing IT obstacles,” said Patrick R. Wiley, President of The Aldridge Company. “Ultimately, information is the most valuable asset of any business, and we are very proud and thankful that our customers entrust us to make sure their information is available when they need it wherever they need to access it.”

The Aldridge Company’s IT solutions include complete management of servers, PCs and networks coupled with rapid and accurate technical support. They also provide audits of security and disaster recovery readiness.

The Aldridge Company’s hosting services include cloud hosting, dedicated servers and colocation, which provide constant and current data availability, security and stability, thus giving customers peace-of-mind and allowing them to focus on their business. Last year, The Aldridge Company geographically diversified its data center portfolio for colocation and cloud hosting needs by adding a data center in Phoenix, Ariz., one of the safest-from-natural-disaster cities in the U.S.

Help Us in Supporting Research to Treat and Cure Juvenile Batten Disease

Friday, May 4th, 2012
The Aldridge Company support Batten research

Missy and Wayne Herndon established The Will Herndon Fund for Juvenile Batten Disease Research when their son, Will, was diagnosed with the disease.

The team at The Aldridge Company is proud to be involved in the “HOPE on the Green” Tournament at Woodforest Golf Club today. The sellout event supports The Will Herndon Fund for Juvenile Batten Disease Research, a fund of the Beyond Batten Disease Foundation that is raising funds for research to treat and cure juvenile batten disease.

Beyond Batten Disease Foundation supports research to treat and cure Batten disease, which is a rare, fatal, inherited, neurodegenerative disorder that strikes young children, including 9-year- old Will Herndon of The Woodlands. The condition initially causes blindness and seizures, progressively impairs cognitive and motor capacities, and then ultimately results in death during the late teen years or early 20s. The foundation also has funded the development of a screening test to help prevent the devastating disease along with hundreds of other serious – and often deadly – genetic, childhood illnesses.
Because Batten disease is so uncommon, there is not much federal funding for research to treat and cure it.
HOPE on the Green featured a variety of contests, including a ball-drop from a helicopter in which golfers bet on numbered balls that are dropped onto a green from a helicopter.  The Aldridge Company donated a brand new iPad 2 that will be presented to the golfer who bets on the first ball that lands in the hole.
To date, The Will Herndon Fund has raised more than $750,000 to support a variety of research initiatives in Europe and the United States to treat and cure juvenile Batten disease. These initiatives include promising research at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. The fund has also sponsored the first conference focused on drug discovery for treating juvenile Batten disease. The conference launched initial efforts to test tens of thousands of existing compounds for their effectiveness.

HOUSTON, April 3, 2012 – The Aldridge Company (www.aldridge.com), a leading provider, consultant and integrator of Information Technology and Cloud Computing solutions for SMBs, today announced the completion of its acquisition of the IT Managed Services practice of Extreme Technologies Inc.

The Aldridge Company will absorb the IT Managed Services practice of Extreme Technologies, including employees and the customers they serve, enabling Extreme Technologies to focus on strategic business consulting services.

Officials did not disclose the terms of the agreement.

The acquisition expands both the size and breadth of expertise of The Aldridge Company’s IT staff and strengthen its portfolio of service offerings, particularly its Complete IT Management solution, which removes the burden of managing, monitoring and maintaining IT systems and allows small and medium-sized businesses to focus on their core business. The acquisition enables The Aldridge Company to deliver greater value to small and medium-sized businesses through the efficient and effective use of strategic technology solutions to accelerate growth.

“We pursued the Extreme Technologies IT Managed Services practice because it is comprised of a strong, engaged team that shares our client-focused culture, which will facilitate a successful integration,” said Chief Operating Officer, Patrick R. Wiley. “We instantly grow our base of talented employees, expand our capabilities to benefit both new and existing customers, and plan to continue pursuing our aggressive growth strategy.”

“This is a win-win for our customers and employees,” said Extreme Technologies’ CEO Lisa Guidry. “By spinning off our IT Managed Service practice to The Aldridge Company, customers will continue to get the personal service they expect from The Aldridge Company’s highly capable IT services staff, while being able to access the latest advances in IT systems. Meanwhile, we are able to focus on strategic IT Staffing and Consulting Services.”

The Aldridge Company provides a broad range of IT management services, including management of servers, PCs and networks coupled with rapid and accurate technical support. Other services include technology and work process evaluations, audits of security and disaster recovery readiness, and hosting services such as cloud hosting, collocation and dedicated servers.

Earlier this year, The Aldridge Company absorbed the IT services of Rafte & Company into its Managed Services practice, which expanded the firm’s reach into law firms, nonprofit organizations and other professional services firms.
