At Sparkhound, we believe information technology should create a distinct business advantage. It should drive efficiency, accelerate growth and free your team to focus on big-picture initiatives.

We offer six interrelated competencies: Application Development, Business Consulting, Core Infrastructure, Deployment, Enterprise Applications, and Network Support/Service Desk. These services range from simple help desk support to enterprise-wide projects and personnel outsourcing. The Sparkhound team prides itself in possessing superior project planning and management skills, and it strives for win/win situations when dealing with clients and partners. Although Sparkhound maintains strong partnerships with Microsoft, Novell, Cisco, and Citrix, our client's business needs drive all technology decisions.

Our approach is simple:

  • 360° Perspective. Business needs can be incredibly varied—so can our solutions. We constantly seek ways to benefit your whole organization with technology, from the products and services you sell to internal processes and even new business models.
  • Uncommon People. Sparkhound employees are truly a different breed, with a consultant mentality—regardless of job title—and user-focused orientation. They understand technology, explain it in understandable terms, and take personal responsibility for every client relationship.
  • Long-term Outlook. Quick fixes lead to endless re-fixes—and that does your company no good. We see beyond the “to-do” list, collaborating with clients to build strategically targeted solutions built to last, yet nimble enough to change whenever necessary.

Bottom line, when you engage us, you'll connect with IT experts who consistently demonstrate technical expertise, project ownership and personal accountability. And you can trust that we will also think from your perspective. That's why - Ferocious talent, bred for service - is more than a tagline. It's really who we are, and the only way we know to do business. Every client, regardless of size or location, gets our absolute best every day.
