Our Timeline

1998

Humble Beginnings

Simple Network Solutions (SNS) was founded by Chris and Brian in a garage, driven by a shared passion for technology and a vision to simplify IT for small businesses.

Microsoft Partnership

SNS took a major step forward by becoming an official Microsoft Partner. This partnership laid the foundation for future innovations and deeper integration with Microsoft technologies.

Strategic Expansion

SNS merged with Eastridge Technologies to form two specialized teams: one focused on app development and the other on managed IT services. This move allowed the company to scale its offerings and better serve a growing client base with tailored solutions.
