What We Do
Most small to mid-size businesses have a ton of tech tools, software, apps, and systems to help them run—and most small to mid-size businesses don’t have the resources (or, quite frankly, the time) to make sure all those tools are running correctly. That’s where we come in.
PTG is an outsourced IT company based in Greenville, SC. We work with businesses to make sure they’re using the right tools for their needs, that those tools are working as expected, and that they’re actually providing value.
On a daily basis, we handle issues that pop up with your technology, whether planned or unplanned--everything from fixing computer errors to checking into potentially malicious emails to setting up computers for new employees. We’ll also meet with you quarterly to discuss the big picture: your business goals and the tools you need to get there, your cybersecurity and disaster recovery plan, and budget planning.
One of our core values is “We deliver phenomenal experiences”—if you’re not getting a phenomenal experience, you have the right to fire us at any time. We believe in re-earning your business with every interaction and we won’t lock you into a long-term contract.
Phenomenal experiences don’t stop with customers. We believe in delivering phenomenal experiences for our employees, too—and our employees have voted us one of the Best Places to Work in SC for five years in a row.
