For nearly 25 years, V2 Systems has been helping local businesses find success by letting them remain focused on their vision, and not distracted by the technology needed to get the job done.
As one of the nation’s leading information technology managed service providers, V2 allows companies to outsource their day-to-day IT needs to a team of local engineers. That means those companies can streamline their operations and at the same time, they cut operating costs.
“Our mission is to make sure businesses succeed by giving them the freedom to focus on what they’re good at,” said Erik Briceño, V2’s president and CEO. “We’ll worry about the IT, so they can concentrate on what they got into business for in the first place.”
A Quarter-Century of Growth
V2 traces its roots to a Prince William County farmhouse, where the company began as a home-based business in 1995. But it didn’t take long before it outgrew that original location. The company is now headquartered in Manassas Park.
In 2002, V2 became an employee-owned company. Because all of the systems administrators, network engineers, security consultants and help desk technicians are local employees, V2 provides the kind of personalized service that has become uncommon in the IT sector.
The company’s employees have more than 200 years of combined experience working with all facets of technology. In an industry known for employee turnover, the average V2 team member has been with the company for over 10 years.
And the average response time for answering a customer call? It’s 12 minutes, Briceño said.
“We answer our own phones,” he explained. “We know our customers and their needs, and we’re dedicated to providing them with 24/7 tech support.”
More Than Keeping the Network Up
As technology continues to advance and remains central to business success, many companies and organizations have turned to managed service providers like V2 Systems to oversee crucial IT functions, from research to implementation to maintenance.
V2’s engineers have a wide range of manufacturer certifications from companies such as Microsoft and Amazon. In addition, employees can use matching educational grants and career advancement rewards to continue advancing their skills.
For its clients, V2 takes a holistic approach to technology, addressing critical needs for cybersecurity, data protection, cloud services and systems integration along with the requirement for keeping the network up and running. All of this is part of a comprehensive IT approach that allows companies to concentrate on their business objectives.
“We want to help companies with every aspect of the IT landscape,” Briceño said. “In our area, that also means ensuring proper documentation and compliance. We know how to get our clients aligned with the many regulations they face.”
Not only has this approach led to V2’s growth as a company, it’s also led to professional recognition. V2 Systems has been named one of the world’s 501 most strategic and innovative managed service providers, according to a worldwide industry ranking.
“Our team goes above and beyond what’s required to keep our clients’ systems working correctly,” Briceño said. “They’ve put in the extra hours, coming up with the kind of thoughtful and creative solutions that companies need to thrive in today’s fast-paced business environment.”
