Welcome to Summit

Much more than a Managed Services Provider

As cybersecurity threats have increased, we have built a Managed Security Services practice to augment our Managed IT Services, and a Software Development team that builds custom applications when off-the-shelf won’t do. Our web development and content marketing teams support clients as well as our staff, with a collective 60 years of hands-on and consulting experience.

Summit has adapted and evolved through 30+ years of disruptive technologies to help our clients do the same. We have grown organically and through acquisition to build a team of IT and security engineers who are second to none. Originally a Managed Services Provider, Summit has expanded its capabilities well beyond IT support, Network and Cloud Services, because todays’ technology is integrated, interdependent, inseparable, and critically important.

 

Who is Summit Business Technologies?

Summit’s people are a diverse, talented group who coalesce around problem solving with the tenacity of a bulldog. Nothing fires up our IT engineers more than a technical challenge they haven’t come across, allbeit someone usually has the answer.

We are technical people and business people with diverse backgrounds that extend beyond computer science and engineering. Our team has degrees that include Marketing, Journalism, Education, Accounting, and Photography that add different perspectives to the business of technology.

Our Core Values

Customer Focused

We anticipate customer needs and exceed their expectations. Our first question is always, “is this the best choice for our customer?”

Problem Solvers

We figure it out, pure and simple. Our clients rely on us to solve tough business challenges. We get the job done and do it well.

Collaboration

The power of working together. Collaboration makes us stronger and more effective than we could be on our own.

Tenacity

Whatever it takes, we don’t give up. We are tenacious and tireless in solving difficult problems. We push through challenges and do not compromise.

Creative

We are always looking to raise the bar. As creative thinkers, we are never satisfied. We set higher goals, welcome new ideas, and new opportunities that enhance our value to our customers.

Adaptive

The only constant is change. We accept it, embrace it, and shift course in response. Being adaptive means anticipating obstacles and applying practical solutions, continually pushing forward as a team.
