Our Story

Switch Technologies is the product of three seasoned techies in the K-12 vertical who expected better than what was currently being offered. The company has two primary goals: Provide the best possible service to our customers and do as much as we can for our employees. We also made a very intentional decision to only engage in business relationships with companies that had a passion for their solutions and making successful partnerships. While it is important, we are not bottom line driven. Instead we aim to create lasting and trusted relationships that make both parties successful. The product of our initial philosophies has enabled us to be one of the best in the industry. We continue to be extremely dedicated to delivering high-quality results for our customers and staying at the forefront of technological innovation.

For schools

There are a few reasons why a school district should consider making the switch to a seamless digital future with Switch Technologies

Improved Learning Experience

The learning experience for students can be enhanced by providing access to a wider range of educational resources, including multimedia content, interactive tools, and online collaboration platforms.

Increased Engagement

Digital tools and resources can help engage students in their learning by making it more interactive and personalized. It can also help teachers to track student progress and identify areas where additional support may be needed.

Flexibility and Convenience

We can equip students and teachers with solutions that provide the flexibility to work and learn from anywhere at any time. This can be particularly useful during times of remote learning or when students need to miss class for any reason.

Cost Savings

The use of online and digital resources can help schools save money by reducing the need for textbooks, paper, and other traditional classroom materials. Additionally, these solutions can help schools save money on infrastructure costs by reducing the need for physical classrooms and equipment.

Preparation for the Future

Students are more prepared to enter the workforce armed with the skills that they have acquired during their academic tenure using the digital landscape provided by their educational institutions. It can also help prepare them for the increasingly digital world they will be living in.

For business

A properly planned and executed technology solution by Switch Technologies can provide numerous benefits for small businesses, including increased efficiency, improved customer experience, cost savings, increased flexibility, and a competitive advantage.

Increased Efficiency

A correctly designed network foundation enables businesses to implement automated processes, such as invoicing, inventory management, and customer relationship management. These efficiencies lead to increased productivity, reduced costs, and yield a higher customer satisfaction rating.

Improved Customer Experience

Businesses rely on technology to engage with consumers and facilitate a better experience by offering online ordering, customer service & support, personalized recommendations, and targeted marketing. Outages to these services can have a tremendous negative impact on those interactions. Rely on us to provide the best time to resolution for any technical issues you face and keep your customers happy.

Cost Savings

Switch Technologies can help small businesses save money on operational costs by identifying items in their IT environment that are not maximizing their potential ROI. These items can vary in scope but the end result can be significant.

Increased Flexibility

The migration to cloud based environments or the implementation of specific technologies in your network can offer small businesses the flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time, making it easier to manage remote teams, serve customers in different time zones, and adapt to changing business needs.

Competitive Advantage

By embracing our recommended platforms, small businesses can differentiate themselves from their competitors and offer solutions that save time and money. This enables them to focus on improving quality, customer satisfaction, and growing the business.
