AlphaOne Timeline
About AlphaOne Technology
Since its inception in 1990, AlphaOne has primarily focused on providing reasonably priced, high-quality services to small and medium size businesses. Personal attention, and a sincere interest in helping these businesses compete in a world where big business has forced out so many of its smaller competitors, is what makes AlphaOne different.
As you can see from our "Company Timeline", our focus on various services has changed a bit throughout the years, but what has never changed is our Mission Statement:
"AlphaOne's Mission is to provide affordably priced, high value services to individuals & small and medium size businesses. We will always strive to provide the best customer support possible and maintain our customer focus by controlling our growth and service offerings so that we can maintain personal relationships with our customers."
In 2002 AlphaOne made some choices to assure that we were aligned with our Mission Statement. We focused on our core competencies - web hosting & design, data center & project management and local onsite support services in the northwest suburban Chicago area. We vowed to know our customers and provide them with a level of personal support and service that we see seriously lacking almost everywhere in the Web Hosting & Web Design industry.
Because of this desire to "grow it slow", we have avoided all advertising, and rely largely on word of mouth to bring in new business. This has worked for us because we DO care about our customers and that shows through in everything we do. Our customer retention rate is over 85% as well! So from 2002 - 2005, AlphaOne has grown over 300%.
