A Message from our CEO

Dear Friends:

Since 1987, Datatrend Technologies has been providing customers with the highest quality IT and network infrastructure solutions in the industry, based upon best-of-breed manufacturers, software providers, and partners. Our commitment is to provide solutions which meet our customers - needs precisely - at the right price and in a timely manner. However, our commitment does not stop there. We are focused on making "the Datatrend experience" one you will love and never forget. Much of our success has to do with customers that are dedicated to collaborating with us. The effort that Datatrend and the customer extends via collaboration has a material and positive impact on the outcome of projects. In reflecting back on our 25 year history, when asked about the single most contributing success factor I think makes the most difference, is the commitment to collaboration and the solution tailoring that happens as a result.

I like to speak about "the Datatrend difference" which in large measure is a result of the great team we have. Our team is comprised of highly motivated individuals dedicated to making the Datatrend experience a vibrant and valued one. We seek to be your strategic alliance partner, not just a "vendor."

Our shared values are very important to us:

• Dedication to superb quality of service, excellence in all we do, and relentless attention to detail
• Maintaining constructive relationships with others and leading by example
• Following through on every promise, every commitment, every representation
• Meaning what we say and saying what we mean
• Taking the initiative to make things better
• Commitment to our customers, our investors, our industry, and our communities
• Commitment to one another
• Advocating for our customers and trading partners

We have come a long way since 1987, and we owe it all to our extraordinary team members and the great companies we are honored to serve.

If you are not currently a customer of Datatrend, I ask you to give us a try. Our Value Delivery System is the framework we use to provide you with the precise solution to solve your business problems and reach your goals. From needs analysis and planning, to solution design and implementation, to training and support. We will deliver a solution that provides tangible, verifiable benefits, including lower cost of ownership, faster time to value, and maximum return on investment.

If you are already a customer of Datatrend… Thank you! I invite you to let us know how we can make the Datatrend experience an even better one. My door is always open.
