(DALLAS) May 12, 2016 – TSP (Technology Service Professionals), a privately held IT services company, has secured four new customer contracts and has expanded its scope with five existing customers, contributing to the growth of TSP’s geographic footprint in North America.

TSP’s Industrial Automation Solutions focuses on Quality Control Systems (QCS) where engineers maintain and optimize the systems that control the process in production entities, such as paper mills and rubber manufacturers. TSP’s field engineers monitor the equipment and manage the QCS environment, ensuring top-quality production, increasing productivity and profitability, and ultimately ensuring customer production specifications are adhered to.

“Our customers appreciate that we don’t come in with an agenda or rules around the specific equipment that we can service – unlike most original equipment manufacturers, who often handle service. Companies bring us on board because we are capable, flexible and vendor agnostic” said Bill Weiss, director of sales operations for Industrial Automation Solutions at TSP. “Positive word of mouth and two key acquisitions in the industrial automation service industry have really helped us expand our customer base.”

New IAS Customer Contracts Include:

• Two full-time field engineers in Riegelwood, NC
• One full-time field engineer in Coosa Pines, AL
• One full-time field engineer in St. Helens, OR
• One full-time field engineer in Port Angeles, WA

Expanded Scope with Existing IAS Customers Include:

• Second full-time field engineer (increasing from one full-time) with expanded scope of services in Danville, VA
• Additional time added to existing contract in Delaware Water Gap, PA
• Entry-level position added to current team of three field engineers in Mosinee, WI
• One field engineer added to current team of two and scope of services expanded in Georgetown, SC
• Contract increased from part-time to full-time with an expanded scope of services in Fitchburg, MA

“Over the last year, we have put a concerted effort into expanding our Industrial Automation Solutions service business. These new and expanded IAS contracts are proof that our emphasis on this side of the business has led to growth.” said Frank Gonzalez, co-founder and CEO, TSP. “We appreciate customers like Nippon, Goodyear, and WestRock, who value our services and choose to grow with us as we grow.”

TSP’s further involvement in Industrial Automation Solutions this year will include attendance to TAPPI’s upcoming PaperCon May 15-18 in Cincinnati, Ohio at the Duke Energy Center. At PaperCon, TSP will be showcasing their service capabilities. Many of their industrial automation customers will also be there, along with a number of other industrial automation companies and service providers. TSP representatives will be available at booth #642 to speak with prospective customers and members of the media.

(DALLAS) May 5, 2016 – TSP (Technology Service Professionals), a privately held IT services company, announced it will be the platinum sponsor of the fourth-annual Leighton’s Ride for the second year in a row.

The fundraising motorcycle ride will occur on May 14, starting at Old Celina Park and finishing at Celina Town Square, where an open to the public celebration will take place. The annual fundraising event will benefit Leighton’s Gift, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2013 with a mission to turn a tragedy into something positive. The foundation’s current project is dedicated to installing Angel Eye Camera Systems into the NICU at Texas Health Plano – helping parents with infants at the NICU to see their babies at any time from their computer, smart phone, tablet or other web-enabled device.

Leighton’s Gift was co-founded in 2013 by Chris Skaggs, TSP’s senior director of talent and brand management, and his wife Amy Skaggs, after their experience in the NICU with their son Jaxon, and late daughter, Leighton.

“Leighton’s Ride is a wonderful charity event that supports a cause close to our hearts,” said Frank Gonzalez, co-founder and CEO, TSP. “We love giving back to the community in various ways, and Leighton’s Ride is one of our favorite events to participate in, since it directly supports a cause that’s very important to one of our own #TSProckstars, Chris, and his wife Amy.”

Leighton’s Ride is the main source of fundraising for the nonprofit each year. Login services and webcam use are offered free of charge to parents with infants in the NICU at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital – Plano, the first hospital in Collin County with NICU webcams. The webcams also allow parents to speak to their child, facilitating the bonding experience when parents can’t physically be at their bedside.

This year, the organization is reaching out to people who might not own or ride a motorcycle by having a formal after-party with live music featuring Karli Chayne, and food available from In-N-Out Burger. A raffle with prizes will take place to finish the event. The fourth annual charity ride will be the biggest and best yet.

“We’re so grateful to TSP for their continued support of our organization,” said Chris Skaggs. “To date, we have provided NICU webcams for more than half of Texas Health Plano’s 45 beds. It means so much that TSP continues to rally together as a family to support our cause, and prove that our company’s vision of investing time and money into the communities where we live, work and play is more than just words.”

About Leighton’s Gift
Leighton’s Gift is 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2013 by Chris and Amy Skaggs with a mission to turn a tragedy into something positive. After the premature birth and subsequent neonatal intensive care (NICU) admission of both Jaxon and Leighton, they were inspired to give back. Jaxon came home from the NICU after 74 long days; however, Leighton earned her angel wings three short weeks after birth due to a Late-Onset Group B Strep infection. It was the couple’s desire to create a lasting legacy for Leighton that was the main driving force behind the creation of the foundation. To learn more, visit http://leightonsgift.com/

(DALLAS) April 26, 2016 – TSP (Technology Service Professionals), a privately held IT services company, has announced another round of new contracts with two existing customers. The announcement celebrates the continued growth of its shared solutions group, as well as expanded relationships with its existing customers. The new and expanded contracts are expected to bring in approximately $4 million in annualized revenue.

During the first quarter of 2016, 14 new hires were added to managed services contracts in the east, west and central regions, including Dallas/Fort Worth, California, Seattle, New York, and New Jersey. Four out of the 14 new additions will serve as customer relations managers, while the rest will be data storage engineers.

TSP was approached in the summer of 2014 regarding providing maintenance renewal support, a previously non-developed service line. Excited by the opportunity, TSP put together a pilot program ultimately resulting in an entirely new service offering for TSP. The maintenance renewal team has grown from a three-person team to an eight-person team, allowing TSP to manage 600 accounts from one of its largest clients. This growth even led to TSP building out 2,000+ square feet of new space in their Dallas headquarters office in order to accommodate the current and future growth of this maintenance renewal team.

“This is not the first time we’ve innovated in order to meet the needs and desires of a valued customer, and it won’t be the last,” said Frank Gonzalez, co-founder and CEO of TSP. “Our business model has always been closely related to listening and responding to the needs of our customers, and we’re thrilled that we came up with a pilot program that continues to expand, and we look forward to providing this service to other customers.”

TSP also celebrated new contracts with a large storage and data management company based in California, also a current customer. The company recently underwent a transformation, and TSP was able to hire 15 U.S. and Canadian-based storage engineers during the month of March. Nearly overnight, ticket volumes exponentially increased, while the west, north central, south central and east regions all saw increased activity and revenue.

“There is nothing like seeing our TSP base expand with new hires and renewed contracts that span across the U.S. and Canada,” said Frank Gonzalez, co-founder and CEO of TSP. “We are happy to partner with our prestigious customer base and are grateful for their loyalty to our services and exceptional employees that provide those services every day.”

Through TSP’s shared solutions, the company partners with clients using best practices to help create custom solutions so our clients can focus on their primary business objectives. TSP’s shared solutions include maintenance services, managed services, consulting services, and project services.
