Custom Computer Specialists
Implementing The Technology That Enhances Learning Environments

While the role of IT in any given organization is challenging, education institutions face what is perhaps the most complex of technology integration challenges—meeting the technology needs of diverse end users. From faculty and students to community members, expectations vary greatly and it’s the role of IT to meet and exceed these expectations.

Custom Computer Specialists’ comprehensive suite of technology solutions and expertise allow education technology leaders to leverage IT to support faculty and students while ensuring data security. Custom’s solutions include Unified Communications, Consolidation, Virtualization, Security, Messaging and Archiving.

Education institutions often rely on in-house support to facilitate any time anywhere learning, curriculum management and day to day operations; which necessitates around the clock IT support. Custom’s IT Support Assurance solutions offer remote desktop management and support, cloud computing solutions and 24x7 monitoring to ensure functionality of the network at all times.

Custom specializes in providing long term value and services to match their clients’ needs. “For over 30 years, Custom's mission remains the same—to deliver technology solutions that represent the "best value" to our customers—the exact point where their expectations on quality, cost and timing converge,” says Gregory G.
