About Tech By Request

Mission and Vision

Our Vision

Our Mission

We provide technology solutions to individuals and organizations so they may optimize their effectiveness through the thoughtful and effective use of technology.

OUR HISTORY


We recognized a need for an affordable way for individuals and organizations to obtain and maintain technology. With the rapid changes in technology, just keeping up with what is available can be a challenge. However, the thoughtful use of technology makes a huge difference on individual performance and organizational effectiveness. Technology in the 21st century is evolving at an exponential rate. Data transmission through fiber optics and enhanced broadband has paved the way for even more change. We now have so many new choices on how we use technology for entertainment, education, business, security and personal comfort. Tech By Request has broken technology down for our customers. We feel it is best to look at the customer’s needs and then offer technology solutions to serve those needs. Tech By Request is the 21st century solution for technology.
