Our History
Approach Technology was born out of necessity and thrives on intelligent solutions and best in class customer service.
DECEMBER 2005
Eric Carter (CEO of Approach Technology) takes over the I.T. Department of one of Seattle's most successful construction companies, W.G. Clark Construction. In desperate need of a working remote connectivity solution, Eric completely redesigns their network, building it with Citrix technologies, giving the company a complete virtual desktop infrastructure. This new system solves all of the remote access issues the company was having and they realize a new, much higher level of efficiency and productivity.
FEBRUARY 2009
After a few years of great success with the Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Eric decides to split off from W.G. Clark and start his own venture, Approach Technology. With a state-of-the-art private cloud, Approach Technology provides the same highly successful Virtual Desktop Infrastructure that Eric built for W.G. Clark Construction, to many businesses in the Pacific Northwest.
JANUARY 2018
With a new and broader vision of the future, Approach Technology moves away from their private cloud infrastructure and into Amazon Web Services. This move allowed us to begin serving the entire U.S. and Canada, and at the same time, serve clients with more speed, agility and flexibility with a much wider selection of bleeding-edge cloud services provided by the leader in cloud computing. This move also gave existing clients some significant cost savings due to the ability to take advantage of economies of scale within Amazon Web Services.
JANUARY 2020
Approach Technology is nominated for the 2019 Citrix Partner of the Year award. Nominated alongside billion dollar tech companies, Approach Technology is very proud of the acknowledgment and to be in the company of giants in Information Technology and the Cloud Computing Industry.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Partnered with Citrix and Amazon Web Services, both leaders in the cloud computing industry, our possibilities are limitless. We will keep providing our existing clients and new clients with the best possible cloud solutions and customer service, always adapting and integrating the latest cloud innovations.
