Your Acumen IT Support Team

History
About us: We started as a very small software development company that expanded into a company that provides IT Consulting, Managed Services, Computer Consulting, IT Support, and Network Support among other things.

Not long after gaining this experience, we began installing and managing phone systems for our clients. A few years later, we began teaching advanced technical classes nationally for CompUSA and the United States Air Force. Our expanding expertise and staff grew into many areas of IT Consulting and IT Support.
New Services
About us: We now provide a wide array of computer consulting services to the broad St. Louis region. Our latest work is in the area of Data Center management, including virtualization, high-performance computing, and system monitoring.
