SyCom growth centers on IT solutions

Since at that time, the company has added a data center and virtualization, cloud computing and high-definition video conferencing services.

"We used to sell two to three solutions and now we sell 50," Cricchi said. "We have doubled the size of the company over the last three years in terms of revenue, and we as well have increased the number of employees by 40 percent."

SyCom provides information innovation solutions just as servers and operating systems as so then as communications solutions just as networks, security and voice collaboration systems.

"Our combination of facilities and research emphasize the ability of our company to handle heavy lifting projects just as the 4-VA initiative," Cricchi said, referring to a consortium of four Virginia universities in a pilot program using Cisco TelePresence video research. SyCom assisted Virginia Tech and James Madison University in installing equipment for the initiative.

Tim Lilly, director of network operations and engineering at Dominion Resource Services, an arm of Dominion Resources Inc., is pleased with SyCom's customer service.

In June, SyCom was named to industry trade publication CRN's Provider 500 List, which ranks the top innovation integrators in North America based in some cases on revenue size. SyCom as well was included in CRN's 2012 Tech Elite 250, highlighting IT solution providers that have invested in training and education.

Valuable extension to our IT team

"We consider them a valuable extension to our IT team," she said. "They always focus on solving our business problem first to put it more exactly than trying to sell products and services. They spend time listening to what we're trying to accomplish and they act with integrity in their recommendations."
